The Texas A&M Aggies fired head coach Jimbo Fisher in November, putting an end to a tumultuous tenure that had him on the hot seat in each of the last three seasons.
Among the topics discussed, was Fisher’s record $77 million buyout, which shattered the last previous buyout record of $21.7 million – and he isn’t complaining.
By Jose Lambiet, GossipExtra.com, for SouthFloridaReporter.com, Jan. 6, 2016 – TALLAHASSEE — While Florida State University football coach Jimbo Fisher‘s hot ex-wife walked away from their marriage with at least $3.4 million and $4,500-a-month in support for the couple’s two young boys, according divorce papers obtained by Gossip Extra, she could have made a valid argument for a share of the 50-year-old coach’s paycheck until his retirement.
And with Jimbo pulling $5 million-plus a year, Candi Fisher apparently let him off the hook easy.
In Seminole terms, you could say she wuz scalped!
While the media in Tallahassee failed to report on Fisher’s divorce, which became final Dec. 10, Gossip Extra broke the story last week and identified two men with whom the coach suspected his wife of cheating: Former University of Florida and NFL receiver Taylor Jacobs, who at 34 is 12 years younger than Candi, and former FSU tennis star Owen Long, who’s 19 years her junior.
Too late for a “Hail Mary”?
