Jimbo Fisher may no longer be Florida State's head coach, but that didn't stop him from commenting on some of the people he worked with there.

Jimbo: “You can have the greatest coaches in the world, but if the administration doesn’t see things in the way you see things, and allow you to do things that way, nothing can be achieved.”

This predictably upset fans and one analyst in particular who played there. Former Seminole quarterback Danny Kanell sounded off on the comments from Fisher and seemed pretty upset about the whole thing. Naturally, he took to Twitter to express his frustrations.
Translation: “I am a god and should be treated as such”
Bow down and worship, Aggies!! 😂😂😂 https://t.co/DPYApY6iCW

Jimbo has every right to take the money. More power to him. But to throw FSU under the bus for a lack of support??? Simply not true.

And his comment that Fisher's claims aren't true have been backed up. Here's just a short list of things the administration did to help out Fisher when he was there.
The administration helped Jimbo get:
Indoor practice facility
Updated + upgraded stadium
Remodeled coaches offices, locker room, meeting space
Current plans for a standalone football facility
Also was 6th highest paid coach in the country
But sure .. https://t.co/GFJgd3KjQv— Andrea Adelson (@aadelsonESPN) December 4, 2017
That sounds like an administration that certainly pulled its weight in the football department. Kanell does make a good point that if it's just about the money then that's fine. Just don't claim it was a number of other factors that don't make sense. It's pretty hard to turn down $75 million over 10 years and there is absolutely no shame in taking that deal over the deal he had with FSU that worth just under $6.5 million a year.
