The Daily Nole — Nov. 15, 2017: Texas A&M to Pursue Jimbo Fisher

Happy hump day, Florida State fans. As your day goes on, keep it here for the latest in FSU athletics. We’ll update the news and notes section of this post throughout the day.

Lead Story

As the offseason approaches, it appears Florida State will have to deal with more rumors about its head coach potentially leaving.

According to a report from USA Today, Texas A&M is expected to fire head coach Kevin Sumlin and pursue FSU’s Jimbo Fisher. Per the report, Fisher and Texas A&M athletic director Scott Woodward worked together at LSU and have remained in touch.

Fisher is 81-23 during his career at FSU, which includes three ACC titles, five major bowl appearances and the 2013 national championship. This season has been the worst of Fisher’s tenure as the Seminoles are just 3-6 and in danger of missing a bowl game for the first time since 1981.

Between the Lines

FSU hoops defeated George Washington in the 2017-18 opener on Tuesday night, 87-67.

On the Agenda

There are no FSU athletic events scheduled for Wednesday.

News and Notes

FSU women’s hoops forward Shakayla Thomas was named to the preseason Wooden Award top 30.
