In honor of Jimbo Fisher's "Car Wash Day" at ESPN (where the coaches interview at all the different ESPN Shows). I decided to dust off this list of Jimbo Fisher quotes I've been holding on to for some time. (Incidentally, Jimbo is one of the only coaches in the NCAA who DOESN'T have a Twitter account)
What's so exciting about Jimbo Fisher quotes?! Are you kidding?! The man is pure gold. One day I happened upon a 14 minute YouTube video of Jimbo Fisher giving pre game and half time speeches. So I made note of some of my favorite:
-Big rock in the road. You don't go around it. You don't hope it will move. YOU remove it.
-Emotion and wanting to win are important but execution is critical.
-You have to TAKE everything you get. No one will give you anything.
-Love is the reason for the fight.
-Everything is about us. How we play, what we do, how we think, how we feel. From the first play to the last play. The reckoning.
-Love is the reason you play. The people you love and your teammates. When it is all said and done. That's what you remember.
-2 guys in the ring. One guy wins.
-This country ain't seen Florida State Football. They about to tonight.
-The game don't care who wins it. You determine what happen
-It ain't about the show, it's about the go.
-You make the helmet. The helmet doesn't make you.
-The play don't care who makes it.
-Show me a guy without expectation and I'll show you a guy that hasn't achieved anything and doesn't expect anything from himself.
-It got personal.
-It's our house. It's our stadium. We are Florida State.
And more recently, Jimbo was speaking to kids at his football camp and said this:
-Men do what they have to do. Boys do what they want to do.
These quotes aren't earth shattering. But they are thought provoking and have fueled a large amount of success at Florida State and at the next level, the NFL.
