RE: 2022-23 Football Coaching Carousel
I have no idea if Coach Fisher is on the hot seat (or not) at TAMU. My memory of him at Florida State made me think that his coaching/culture style is is not a fit for a school like Rice. I remember reading a number of stories about Jameis Winston and his entitled behavior at FSU, and this paragraph from Wiikipedia gave me pause:

"A 2019 article in Bleacher Report detailed a number of problems with the culture of the FSU program under Fisher. According to former assistants, the players seemed to lose their drive after the 2013 national championship season. Additionally, Bleacher Report revealed that Florida State had the worst Academic Progress Rate score of any Power Five program, and was actually on the verge of an automatic postseason ban. Reportedly, Fisher had given his assistants a mandate to "keep players eligible" above all else; athletic director Dave Coburn conceded as much. Fisher's successor, Willie Taggart, was stunned at the apparent laissez-faire attitude toward academics when he arrived, and instituted immediate changes. Several former assistants from Fisher's tenure believed the casual attitude toward academics were part of a larger erosion of discipline that gradually led to a sense of entitlement."

Wikipedia is far from an unimpeachable source....and if stories are true...it doesn't mean that Fisher hasn't learned his lesson and corrected the cultural/academic issues (at TAMU) that plagued his later teams at FSU.

Nonetheless, I would not be too enthusiastic at the prospect of Coach Fisher moveing 96 miles South East to South Main Street any time soon.
