Youth Development Expert Jimbo Fisher Reminds Team That Football More About Learning than Winning
After another loss, Head Coach Jimbo Fisher reminded his players that as long as they try their best and learn along the way, they are still winners in his heart. He hopes that this new strategy of prioritizing the lessons learned along the way will boost his struggling team’s morale.
“You know, I’ve been told that recruiting is where I stand out as a college football coach, but I think it’s time I tried my hand at the coaching part,” Fisher said when asked about his decision to treat players with kindness. “I just don’t want these boys left with the impression that winning is the only important thing here.”
In the upcoming game against Auburn, he plans to gently encourage his players, and remind them that no matter what happens, they matter to him.

While Hannibal might come across as some psychotic murderer, he’s really just a University Honors student, got it? Yeah sure, he makes prolonged eye contact as you pass by the couches in the Lechner hallway, and his intense obsession with true crime podcasts might make you uneasy, but he’s maybe only a little bit of a sociopath at best. Leave the serial killer vibes to McFadden, okay?
