Appearances matter to college football fans – that was something that Jimbo Fisher didn’t understand or simply didn’t care about when he coached the FSU football team. A year ago, when Willie Taggart was hired, he brought a lot of excitement to a disillusioned Seminole fan base.
The first thing he did when he accepted the job was to pronounce that he was a lifelong FSU fan and that FSU was his dream job. Then, he involved many former Seminole players in the program, sought out beloved coach Bobby Bowden, and brought him back to Doak Campbell Stadium for the Virginia Tech game.
