In a fresh chapter of his career, former Texas A&M and Florida State head football coach Jimbo Fisher has officially joined ESPN as a college football analyst. This latest development marks a significant transition for Fisher, who spent the last few years on the sidelines after a challenging tenure at Texas A&M that ended in 2023.
Fisher’s coaching legacy is highlighted by his remarkable achievement at Florida State, where he guided the Seminoles to a national championship in 2014, securing the BCS National Championship title. His move to Texas A&M in 2018 created a buzz in the college football realm, but ultimately, his time there didn’t quite match the sky-high expectations set by his substantial contract.
Now, as he steps into the media sphere, Fisher will serve as a weekly analyst for the ACC Network. This Saturday tradition will see him featured on the “ACC Huddle,” a show dedicated to breaking down the weekend’s action in the Atlantic Coast Conference. The announcement came on July 22, with ESPN confirming the details of his new role.
“I’m looking forward to joining the ACC Network and the Huddle team this season,” Fisher expressed enthusiastically. “I’ve always had tremendous respect for this conference, and I’m eager to break down the action each week with such a talented group.” It’s an exciting opportunity not just for Fisher, but for fans who will get to hear his insights and analysis throughout the season.
The “ACC Huddle” will broadcast live every Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon, with the first show kicking off from Clemson, where the Tigers will host LSU on August 30. This integration into the media landscape is a familiar path for many former coaches, and it will be intriguing to see how Fisher translates his extensive experience into sharp analysis and commentary.
Congratulations to Jimbo Fisher on this new endeavor—it’s a fresh start that promises to keep his presence in the college football world alive, albeit from a different vantage point.
