TALLAHASSEE (CBSMiami/AP) – If the Florida State Seminoles have learned anything over the years, it's how to hang on to a good head coach.
Florida State announced that football coach Jimbo Fisher has received an extension to keep him with the program through the 2022 season. Tuesday's announcement came less than a year after Fisher's last contract extension.
The No. 3 Seminoles are 58-10 since Fisher replaced Bobby Bowden before the 2010 season. Florida State won the national championship last year and quarterback Jameis Winston became the third Heisman winner in school history. The team is in the midst of a school record 29-game win streak.
Details of the contract were not immediately available. His current deal pays about $4.1 million per season.
Fisher said in a statement, "I appreciate that FSU believes in what we are doing and supports our goal of maintaining one of the best programs in the country."
