TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Jimbo Fisher was brought to tears while returning to Florida State's campus for the first time since resigning to take the Texas A&M coaching job in 2017.
Fisher, now an ACC Network analyst, was wildly cheered at the start of the network's pregame show outside Doak Campbell Stadium. He turned in his chair, did the tomahawk chop to the crowd of garnet-clad fans and started to cry.
"Brings tears to my eyes," Fisher said. "Remember your family growing up here and hearing that chant. When you heard it, something to it.
"The players, the memories. It's Miami week."
