I can't believe this is getting repeated mention. He is falling apart at FSU and he comes across to me as one of the most unlikeable coaches who you get the feeling does everything underhanded and unethical at every opportunity.... really hope he is just using us to not get fired by FSU or something

Didn't you hear? The rape cover-up and crab leg theft condoning is behind him. He's turned over a new leaf...............

If you throw out this year, he has an .800 win percentage at FSU, 3 conference championships, 1 national championship, and 5 bowl wins in 7 years. He has got multiple QB's in the NFL. His teams play defense. Throw in the fact he comes from the Sabam coaching tree. That's what gets peoples attention.

Well, does A&M want to win but sell its soul to do so?

Would anyone here be happy with an sec title but a head coach covered up a rape/sexual assault by a major contributor?

Can't control the players, some will screw up. But a coach can control his actions and i don't like Fischer and his willingness to overlook rape.

Does anyone have an article linking his exact role in the alleged rape? I know the cops looked the other way but I haven't seen anything that indicates they did so at his request. Is it not possible the police there simply give the local players preferential treatment regardless of who the coach is?

Not doubting his ability to win, that speaks for itself. But I just think he is a terrible face of our program based on whats happened in the past at FSU. That and I just want to punch his face through the TV when he does interviews.

Fisher has problems leaving the state so all of these comments don't mean a lot. His ex wife has custody of the children and if he leaves the state she can take the kids to where ever and he may not see them again.
He has to have an amended divorce agreement and folks that will not happen.
Besides Sumlin is not going anywhere so give it a rest.

Youtube. There's at least 2 press conferences that says it all. He's the one doing the talking.

Doesn't he have a special needs child that requires around the clock care? Care that isn't easily provided by just anyone.

The game plan was set under Bowden with the Tallahassee PD long ago. Also being the state capitol there's no shortage of politically connected people who get the heads up and can fix things. Could be Fishers' fingerprints weren't even needed.

That's not exonerating him nor is it indicting him.

And not contact the coach when a player is accused of rape?

That isn't how this works. You are the one asserting your statements as facts. Support them.

If they believe the claim is baseless why contact the coach? You want the police calling your boss saying some girl said you raped her with no evidence?

Google the police report.

She said that she was raped. She went to a hospital and had a rape kit performed. The medical staff concluded that she had injuries consistent with rape. Winston's DNA was found on her panties.

Now compare that to Winston lying about not being around her and his roommate deleting pics of Winston having sex with the girl.

The Austin PD never called Mack, they called Dodds. Dodds sent the lawyers to get the players (and occasionally his coaches) out of trouble. If it happened on campus, university police immediately called Dodds before they called anyone else, even APD or 911, if the incident involved a student athlete.

If we were to hire fisher and texags still wasn't happy, it would officially prove there is no way to make texags happy. I really don't see how you can expect a more proven hire.

If people have a problem with rape, i think that's ok.

And nobody from the AD contacted Brown?

I understand the concept of plausible deniability. However, I have a real hard time believing that the AD Dept did not let Brown or Fisher know afterwards that they did them a favor.

You could argue he's exactly like Sumlin, only in a weaker conference. He was propped up by a Heisman QB.

I'm concerned about how he handled a total POS like Winston. And don't even compare Johnny to Winston. JFF wasn't running trains and getting sloppy thirds from inebriated co-eds.
