I really thought I was done writing about Jimbo Fisher.

Honestly, I did.

I covered, at length, how poorly I thought he handled the coaching rumors this November. And I also covered, at length, how he turned FSU back into a national power and was the perfect hire for Florida State eight years ago.

So I thought he was in the rear-view. Truly, I did.

Then came Monday. And Jimbo Fisher sped up on our tails like Smokey and the Bandit, ramming into our bumper with a "Hey, you guys mind if I take one more shot at FSU before I put these A&M boots on?"

In case you missed it, Fisher was introduced as the new Texas A&M coach on Monday afternoon in College Station. And he made a point, early on in the press conference, of taking a not-so-subtle shot at his former employer.

"You can have the greatest coaches in the world," Fisher said. "But if the administration doesn’t see things in the way you see things, and allow you to do things that way, nothing can be achieved."

Darn right!

Preach it, Jimbo!

Nothing can be achieved at all.

Except for, you know, six 10-win seasons, three ACC Championships, a national championship, a Heisman Trophy, a school-record 29-game winning streak, a national record 29 players drafted in three years, and five straight New Year's Six bowl game appearances.

I was really expecting - hoping, I guess - that Fisher would speak only glowingly about Florida State. It's the school that took a chance on him as an assistant coach. It trusted his vision. Made him rich. Gave him almost everything he asked for. It celebrated the trophies. Gave him yearly raises. And stood by him even in the midst of the worst season in 40 years.

Just be positive, Jimbo.

"Florida State was great to me and my family," he could've said. "But I'm ready for a new challenge."

But he didn't do that. Instead he took more thinly veiled shots at FSU.

"I never had any intentions of leaving Florida State," Fisher said. "After (A&M athletic director Scott Woodward) contacted me, and I saw his vision and researched the resources at A&M, it was a no-brainer. There was an opportunity and a challenge here that I just couldn’t pass up."

A no-brainer. Nice.

Another Fisher quote from Monday: "I always say this: are you interested in being good or are you committed to being good?”

Those $45 million buyouts just don't mean as much as they used to I guess.

It's true Fisher is getting $75 million guaranteed from Texas A&M. And nobody, I think, is begrudging him the opportunity to cash in. If the Aggies want to pay that kind of money for a guy that is 17-12 in his last 29 games against FBS teams, well, they have every right to do so. And he has every right to accept it.

What he doesn't have a right to do, in the opinion of FSU fans, is paint Florida State as some cheap, uncommitted, second-tier program that doesn't have the resources to be competitive with the big boys anymore.

That's the narrative he's been trying to sell, it seems. And FSU fans are tired of it.

"He is really showing some low class and this is now beyond just a poor relationship with boosters," a fan tweeted at me on Monday. "He's a flat out liar."

"I sure hope Jimbo cuts Jameis Winston a check for getting him that payday," said another. "Funny how things were not bad when your winning 29 straight."

And another: "Now he is trash talking the school that gave him his shot and NC???"

And another: "I really want to wish him the best at A&M but if he keeps taking shots at FSU, I hope he never wins another game."

And another: "I hope we announce the plans for the new football only facility on the same day we announce our new coach just to spite Jimbo. Dude's handled this so poorly."

And another: "He is such a huge disappointment to take a swipe at FSU like this."

So, yeah, they're angry.

With good reason. They're sick and tired of hearing about what Florida State doesn't have. Of being made to feel less-than by a coach who had more than almost anyone else in the country during his time here.

Did he have a football-only facility? No.

But did he have a beautiful stadium? Yep.

Did he have his indoor practice facility? Yep.

Did he get new locker rooms and upgraded coaches offices? Yep.

Did he get substantial raises for his assistants? Yep.

Did he have a contract that guaranteed him over $40 million? Yep.

Did he have assurances that a football-only facility was going to be built? Yep.

Did he have one of the most recognizable brands in college sports? Yep.

Did he have a passionate fan base? Yep.

Did he get to recruit from the most fertile area in the country? Yep.

Did he get to tout his program's unrivaled history and tradition over the last four decades? Yep.

Did he get to walk past national championship trophies and Heisman trophies every day he walked into his office? Yep.

Did he seem to appreciate any of that? Nope. Not really.

I don't think most Florida State fans are upset Fisher left for that kind of money. I really don't. I just think they were frustrated that he kept consistently bringing up what FSU didn't have, without at the very least seeming to value all the positives FSU offers as well.

But guess what? Now Fisher has everything he could want, right?

He's got a stadium that seats 100,000. He's got a football-only complex. He's got brand-new boots. He's got boosters with enormous pockets, who are desperately starved for championships. And he'll get to recruit in one of the most fertile areas in the country.

So it's all set up for him now! No excuses not to succeed! Certainly can't lose 35-3 to the likes of Boston College again if you have your own football mansion!

Meanwhile, FSU fans will just have to wait and see if Fisher's replacement can somehow manage to win a few games here and there.

It'll be tough. Florida State won't offer $75 million guaranteed. And it doesn't even have a football-only complex. And yet, somehow, someway, it's still managed to win more games than any program in the country since 1980.
