Jimbo Fisher is back in college football, albeit as a television analyst.
Fisher, who has been out of the game since his departure from Texas A&M midway through the 2023, will work as a college football studio analyst for ESPN and will also be part of the cast for “ACC Huddle,” which will debut this season. ACC Huddle will be a weekly pre-game show that originates from the site of that week’s biggest game within the conference, similar to what the SEC Network has with SEC Nation.
In addition to Fisher, “ACC Huddle” will feature Taylor Tannenbaum as host and former Clemson offensive lineman Eric Mac Lain and ex-Virginia Tech wide receiver Eddie Royal. Former Florida State and NFL quarterback EJ Manuel will work mostly on ESPN’s college football programming, though will still occasionally appear on ACC Network.
“I’m looking forward to joining ACC Network and the Huddle this season,” Fisher said. “I’ve always had tremendous respect for this conference and I’m looking forward to breaking down the action each week with such a talented group.”
Prior to his six-year tenure at Texas A&M, Fisher was head coach at Florida State from 2010-17. He led the Seminoles to a perfect record and the BCS national championship in 2013.
Fisher also spent extensive time on the coaching staffs at LSU (2000-06), Auburn (1993-98) and Samford (1988-92). He played quarterback at Samford under coach Terry Bowden in the late 1980s.
