There are 2.5 million reasons for him to stay at FSU.
Fisher, who signed a three-year contract on Dec. 14 that made him the head coach-in-waiting at Florida State and raised his pay to $625,000 annually, reportedly has been contacted through intermediaries so as not to violate the terms of his new deal. Fisher would owe Seminole Boosters $2.5 million if he tries to "seek, solicit, invite, discuss, entertain, interview for, or accept any offer'' to coach at any other university or professional organization.

But for some reason Fisher and Bowden are good on this board but Coker ruined a program?

Fisher had been there for one year. Bobby Bowden is a slimeball IMO. Terry Bowden has nothing to do with FSU, and Coker took a national championship program and ran it into the ground

Bobby Bowden has had many character issues with his players in the past, I do not have much respect for him.
