Jimbo Fisher left Florida State to become the head coach at Texas A&M. There were plenty of Jimbo Fisher to Texas A&M rumors, but the most telling and certainly funniest was the dang Christmas tree on the curb outside his house on Dec. 1:
Jimbo Fisher explains why his Christmas tree in Tallahassee was thrown to the curb
Finally, an explanation!
After Fisher arrived in College Station, he explained on the Dan Patrick Show why his tree was thrown out on the curb on Wednesday.
“Well what that was, I had no idea, the guys who come to put my Christmas tree up that week, said they got it out, ‘Coach it’s broke,’” Fisher said. “What happened was, it was broke, so I put a new one up and he said ‘So we’ll get rid of the other one’ so they set it on the curb to be picked up. That was what it was — there was a new Christmas tree in my house, it’s still in my house in Tallahassee.”
“I didn’t throw it out,” Fisher continued. “I was actually at work, there was a group that comes in that puts the lights and everything across the house, because you’re always on the road recruiting. We had a group, the Espositos, that comes and does it, and they called me and said ‘Jimbo this thing’s over 10 years old and it’s broke up.’”
Shout out to Tallahassee Democrat reporter Wayne McGahee III, who sent college football fans (and professionals!) scrambling to Twitter and photoshop to get these jokes off.
There were loyalty jokes, a nod to the FSU fan who was recently ejected from Fisher’s radio show:
There were Tennessee jokes, because maybe the worst coaching search ever is always applicable:
There was just general tree-related humor:
Basically, college football has lost its mind:
