We recognize the value of strong coaches and strive to ensure that student-athletes have the opportunities they need to thrive.

Together, the bills I signed today will strengthen Florida's K-12 athletic programs and support the students and coaches who help them achieve their potential.

I was there at the Capitol in those meetings, also. Coach Fisher is a mover and a shaker! 100%, he made an impact to garner legislator’s support for HS coaches! 🙌

If Florida State is serious about bringing Coach Fisher back, there's something about him that deserves to be part of the conversation, and it has nothing to do with wins and losses.

I saw firsthand what Jimbo did for Florida high school coaches. When we were fighting for legislation to ensure coaches received fair compensation, Jimbo didn't just lend his name to the cause. He went room to room, meeting with legislators, making the case, and speaking passionately and eloquently about why Florida's high school coaches deserved better.

He understood the issue. He understood the people. And more importantly, he showed up.

Florida State needs someone who knows this state, understands its high school coaches, can recruit his ass off, and genuinely values the people who develop the talent that makes college football possible.

Jimbo Fisher checks every single box. And then some.

People can debate everything else all they want. But when Florida's high school coaches needed someone willing to use his influence to fight for them, Jimbo Fisher didn't hesitate.

He showed up, spoke up, and stood with us when it mattered.

And I'll never forget it.

@MaxPreps @FHSAA Melbourne Central Catholic is 7-2, not 7-3. It shows correct on our schedule not in rankings.

Please make sure the correct record is used in the final roll up!
