TALLAHASSEE, FLA. ? Florida State must pay offensive coordinator Jimbo Fisher $2.5 million if he isn’t hired to replace Bobby Bowden as head coach in three years, but Fisher would have to pay an equal amount to leave before then.
Florida State released Fisher’s contract Monday after the West Virginia native was mentioned in published reports as a potential candidate to take over for Rich Rodriguez as Mountaineers coach. The buyout clause would make Fisher an expensive choice.
