Jimbo Fisher Preaches Texas A&M Toughness, Pro-Style Offense at SEC Media Days

ATLANTA — Pro-style. Not spread.

Slow. Not fast.

Fullbacks and tight ends. Not empty sets and four wides.

And finally, says Jimbo Fisher, tough. Not soft.

Man don’t think he’s tough, man ain’t going to play tough,” Fisher said, encircled by a group of reporters in a dimly lit hotel room.
