Man, you won’t believe the rabbit hole I went down today. It all started with me wondering about Jimbo Fisher’s salary when he was at FSU. You know, just a random thought that popped into my head.
So, I fired up my trusty old computer and started poking around. First thing I did was to check out who this Jimbo Fisher guy even was. Turns out, he’s a pretty big deal in the college football world. Born on October 9, 1965, in Clarksburg, West Virginia, the guy’s practically a legend.
Anyway, back to the money. I dug deeper and found out that Fisher’s salary was insane, even back when he was with Florida State. He was right up there with the highest-paid coaches, only behind a couple of other big names like Jim Harbaugh and Nick Saban. That’s some serious dough.
Then things got even crazier. I found out that Fisher had signed an extension with Florida State in December 2016, and that gave him a base salary of $5.5 million through 2024. And get this – his buyout was the sum remaining on his contract. That means, if he’s one of only four active national championship head coaches, he must be a big shot, right?
