| 24th December, 2007 - 8:20 am | ESPN - Florida State offensive coordinator Jimbo Fisher, who was being wooed by West Virginia officials to fill their head coaching vacancy, has decided to remain with the Seminoles, a statement released Sunday on the school's Web site said.
"I know media reports are circulating regarding the possibility of West Virginia's head coaching position," Fisher said in the statement.
"I am a native of West Virginia and love the state but I want to make clear that I am staying at Florida State. I am committed to this university, this program and these players. I am excited about where I am and where Seminole football is headed."
Two weeks ago, Fisher agreed to a new contract in which his base pay was increased from around $420,000 to $625,000 and he was named the program's coach-in-waiting. FSU coach Bobby Bowden signed a one-year contract extension through the 2008 season. [READ] |
