Seminoles' Head Coach Jimbo Fisher has burnt too many bridges at Florida State University

The Jimbo Fisher saga is now a stagnant, mess of an issue at Florida State, and Fisher is largely to blame.

Media outlets have confirmed that the Texas A&M Board of Regents is set to meet on Thursday in order to approve Fisher's potential contract. This has been public knowledge the last day and a half, and it's something Fisher could've easily dispelled or turned down to end all speculation.

Instead, he let it play out.

Considering Fisher is mum on the situation leads administration and boosters to believe Fisher is gone.

If that's the case, Fisher needs to come out and say it one way or the other. It's not exactly fair to the University, its students, its fans, the boosters, and especially recruits who're currently looking elsewhere.

Wanya Morris, a 4-star offensive lineman, has already backed out of his commitment to the Seminoles and more will soon follow.

Even if Fisher decides to get cold feet and return to FSU, he has burnt some powerful bridges. The Auburn drama of 2010, the consecutive years where LSU tried to pull Fisher, and now the TAMU fiasco is creating distrust with the boosters - many of whom would like to see Fisher take the Aggie gig.

Jimmy Sexton, Fisher's long-time agent, has leveraged money every time Fisher has been sought after by other schools. Florida State President John Thrasher isn't budging and won't give Fisher another raise, but is allegedly willing to put more money into finding competent assistant coaches.

Upgraded facilities and a football-only complex is supposed to be in the works, as well.

If Fisher stays, it'll play out again next season where a new SEC team will try and poach Fisher eventually leaving Florida State to scramble for a new coach.

The Seminoles won't be caught off guard.

Rumors are circulating that administration has contacted Oregon Head Coach Willie Taggart about the potential vacancy, and Taggart has expressed interest.

Taggart knows the State of Florida and is a relentless recruiter.

More will be known in the next couple of days, and regardless of how this is played out Fisher has done some serious internal damage within the program.

Florida State is currently a better program than TAMU, but Texas money combined with SEC funds could potentially change that.

Maybe it's time for Fisher to take his money and go.
