Jimbo Fisher is, by most accounts, a high quality coach.
The 55-year-old Texas A&M head football coach won a national title at the helm of Florida State in 2013 and has a sparkling 8-2 record in bowl games.
As exceptional as Fisher has been, when it comes to his career arc he’s been pretty typical of the modern big-time college head football coach. Starting as a quarterbacks coach (at Auburn), Fisher worked worked his way up to offensive coordinator duties at Cincinnati, LSU and Florida State before finally landing a head coaching gig with the Seminoles in 2010.
