Jimbo Fisher’s hairline was the greatest comeback story of all time ... emphasis on “was”
From a sad patch to a majestic carpet, but then what happened?
USA Today
Hope was scant. The tide rose. FSU fans complained every time Jimbo didn’t wear a hat. Recruits could see his skull.
The Big Lead
Florida and Miami fans had lols, because Will Muschamp and Al Golden had abundant hairstyles that jiggled in the breeze and/or during spasms of sideline rage and also because Florida and Miami fans had nothing else to celebrate at the time. Jimbo’s hairline betrayed no emotion whatsoever. It couldn’t afford to.
Seven scant months later, Hair Island had bloomed into a booming Hair Peninsula.
Experts were calling it one of the greatest resurrections in environmental history, but they had no idea how lush the future was.

Dear Leader’s hair had always been this mighty and populous.
A month after that, a little favorable lighting had Jimbo looking like he had Hair Grand Theft Auto 5 Map on his head.
Looking like he’s damn Dracula with strong opinions about special teams!

One year after our story began, FSU players were still reveling in the rebirth.
Look at the holiday season delight brought to these faces by the Hair Subcontinent.
In summer 2016, Jimbo looked roughly 1,000 years younger than he had in 2014.

The recovery was complete, we thought.
This is Jimbo’s own, growing hair that he can comb, cut, style, do whatever he wants with. The results he has achieved have been exceptional. He cuts this hair. He washes this hair. He messes this hair up if he wants to mess this hair up. He can’t explain to you the way that it makes him feel to wear his hear down — to go out on a sideline and have confidence again. This is his hair. This is his ... hair.
Look at him at the ACC’s July 2017 media event, crowned by an old-growth forest of about 30 months age.

And yet, more adversity was to come for Jimbo.
SEC Media Days
The $75 million man has once again retreated to an island, this time a rich man’s lonely seastead in a secret body of water near College Station, Texas.
We still believe in you, Jimbo. You can get this corrected.
