The practice battles between Jimbo Fisher’s aggressive offense and Mark Stoops’ physical defense were quite something back in their Florida State days.
“You want to talk about the fun we’ve had competing against each other?” Kentucky’s Stoops said when asked about Fisher, whom he worked for from 2010-12. “It’s kind of what it’s all about. He’s a very hard-nosed, tough football coach. And I am as well. Those were fond memories.”
Together the duo helped the Seminoles go 31-10 and play in three straight bowl games.
Now Fisher is the head coach at Texas A&M, and both coaches were featured on Monday at Southeastern Conference Media Days.
