Jimbo Fisher has announced he won't be the next WVU head coach.

"I know media reports are circulating regarding the possibility of West Virginia's head coaching position. I am a native of West Virginia and I love the state, but I want to make clear that I am staying at Florida State," Fisher says in an Associated Press. "I am committed to this university, this program and these players. I am excited about where I am and where Seminole football is headed."

I didn't think he had a choice. I thought he signed a contract to be the heir apparent to Bobby Bowden. It also wouldn't look good if Bobby's handpicked coach took the job that Terry Bowden wanted.

It looks like this job is falling right into the hands of Butch Jones.

Yeah, and that's okay with me. Jones is a 'nice' choice - he's not a big name, but he's a good coach, and the team won't miss a beat under him.

Jones will probably be able to keep some of Rodriguez's recruits because they run the same offense.

Exactly. He's definitely the choice most likely to guarantee success in 2008.
