No idea, but its starting to sound like the multiple ranks of seargents in the military. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU alum 2 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Bet that Jimbo is not to crazy about Amato coming back to FSU. I imagine he thought he had a clear path to the HC job when Bobby Bowden finally retires. Now that has been murked up somewhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quietfan 233 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Bet that Jimbo is not to crazy about Amato coming back to FSU. I imagine he thought he had a clear path to the HC job when Bobby Bowden finally retires. Now that has been murked up somewhat. But Amato is 60. Assuming "Diddy" doesn't plan to retire for yet another year or two, Amato will be even older. Fisher probably doesn't have too much to worry about if he is successful with the offense.I wonder if the title "Executive" head coach is more or less an honorary thing in respect for his age and career?

I didn't realize Amato was that old. Course, 60 gets younger every year, the closer I get to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be my bet. A respect kind of come on home thing maybe? Shoot...I bet Steele was in line for the HC there. I can't imagine why he left there to come coach at bama? Maybe BB is planning on calling it quites sooner than we think and Amato is there for a reason? IF that is the case, FSU will continue to spiral down!!!

SouthLink02 8 Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Not a good hire in my opinion. No, a great hire. Amato is a good D coach...just not a great HC. BB is putting together a great staff that will put FSU back on the map next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
