One of the more bizarre aspects of the 2017-18 spinning of the coaching carousel has been explained.
With speculation swirling that Jimbo Fisher was leaning toward leaving Florida State for Texas A&M, a tweet posted by an FSU beat writer showing a Christmas sitting out on the curb waiting to be picked up as garbage went viral, with Seminole Nation using it as a clear indication that the head coach was indeed gone.

While Fisher did end up officially leaving the ‘Noles for the Aggies later on that same Saturday, the tree-on-the-curb imbroglio wasn’t a sign that he was gone. Rather, as Fisher explained on the Dan Patrick Show, it was simply a matter of a broken tree being replaced, with it merely coinciding with his break from FSU a short time later.
