Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher gets contract extension

Associated Press

Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher has been rewarded with a contract extension to keep him with the program through the 2022 season.

The school announced the deal Tuesday, less than a year after Fisher’s last contract extension. The No. 3 Seminoles are 58-10 since Fisher replaced Bobby Bowden before the 2010 season. Florida State won the national championship last year and quarterback Jameis Winston became the third Heisman winner in school history. The team is in the midst of a school record 29-game win streak.

Details of the contract were not immediately available. “The commitment we are making to him is a reflection of the outstanding job he has done in leading our program to its current level of excellence,” FSU athletic director Stan Wilcox said in a statement.

Fisher said in a statement, “I appreciate that FSU believes in what we are doing and supports our goal of maintaining one of the best programs in the country.”
