Jimbo Fischer. The name just strikes the fear of god into the hearts and minds of Notre Dame fans everywhere. And by “Notre Dame fans everywhere,” I mean those of us who are so totally obsessive about Notre Dame football that we can name all of the coordinators for our opponents thru the next 4 seasons. So, pretty much all of us, right?
Anyway, Jimbo Fischer is the Offensive Coordinator, Football, Louisiana State University. And he’s a hot commodity. If he were a metal, he’d be copper. Everyone wants him, and nobody can seem to get him. La Tech and ABU failed to land the guy most recently. But today the man about whom we’d all be saying things like, “Damn is he old! When will he retire?” if it weren’t for Joe Paterno still walking this earth, Bobby Bowden, has entered the Jimbo Fischer courting process with a full court-press including a box of chocolates shapes like a heart and some really nice roses. You know, not like those roses you can get at the grocery store with the little plastic water capsule things on the ends of the stems. We’re talking nice.
The reason for the sudden courting of Jimbo by Bobby and Friends is obvious. FSU hasn’t scored a touchdown in 15 years and Jenn Sterger is getting all pouty about it and stuff. Plus, FSU needs to save face and find a new OC before Alabama hires a new head coach because to fail to do anything before Alabama finally hires a new head coach would just be embarrassing. Add to that equation the fact that, right now, Fischer works for a stupid man with meddling tenancies, and you can see why the move is attractive to both parties. Jimbo would never have to worry about his new boss meddling. You can’t meddle if you aren’t there and are, instead, in your office watching reruns of Hee Haw and making yourself a sandwich. Unless you’re a Jedi. Bobby Bowden is a lot of things, but he is not a Jedi. “Wide right,” anyone?
