JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The last time Jimbo Fisher was at the Gator Bowl, he was preparing for the next step in his career.
When Florida State met West Virginia to cap the 2009 season, Fisher was getting ready to take the reins of the Seminoles' program from head coach Bobby Bowden, who was wrapping up a storied 34-year career.
Eight seasons later, Fisher is back in Jacksonville and on the verge of another significant career milestone. On Monday, Fisher will lead No. 19 Texas A&M against N.C. State to cap his first season with the Aggies.
During the final news conference before A&M's first Gator Bowl since 1957, Fisher said he had no set schedule of where the Aggies (8-4) needed to be after his opening year in College Station.
