In the past, Jimbo Fisher has received interest from NFL clubs. However, he won’t be making the jump from college to the pros this year. Today, Fisher agreed to a lengthy extension with Florida State, as Ian Rapoport of NFL.com tweets. 
Fisher’s new deal with FSU takes him through 2024, but there are always escape hatches in college deals, so Fisher could still entertain pro offers down the line. For this offseason, at least, he’s effectively out of the running for the Jaguars, Rams, or any other NFL team that will be looking for a head coach.
“I love college and I had opportunities to go to pro football as an assistant coach and as a coordinator and I’ve had inquiries as a head coach,” said Fisher back in May. “It’s got to be the right organization at the right time and the right situation if you’re ever interested. We have a great situation where I’m at. It’s not something that drives me.”
Fisher has amassed a 77-17 record as the coach of the Seminoles. He also groomed a solid pro quarterback in Jameis Winston, though he has his fair share of QB busts in E.J. Manuel, Christian Ponder, and JaMarcus Russell.
Hardly Fisher’s fault that Manuel, Ponder, or Russell are busts.
