The way Jimbo Fisher tells the story, it sounded as if he was in disbelief when he looked at Texas A&M’s schedule.
Even though Fisher left Florida State to be the Aggies’ new football coach, he couldn’t escape Clemson, his biggest rival. And he didn’t have to wait long to see the familiar school again.
Fisher will face the No. 2 Tigers on Saturday at Kyle Field, marking his first Texas A&M game against a Football Bowl Subdivision opponent.
A lot of chatter surrounding the game has centered around the ninth meeting between Fisher and Swinney, two of the four active coaches who have won a national title.
