Details emerge from Jimbo and Candi Fisher divorce file
http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/ent-columns-blogs/jose-lambiet/article53749975.html
It’s hard to spend $100 in Tallahassee on a good day — except for Florida State football coach Jimbo Fisher’s ex-wife.
Candi Fisher, who signed off on the couple’s divorce Dec. 10, claimed in court records that it cost her $29,655 a month, give or take a few bucks, to take care of the coach’s household.
Granted, they have two young sons. But $29,000? In Tally?
Candi told the court her food and other routine bills come to about $9,218 a month. Among her bills, she claimed personal expenses of about $12,000 a month, including $1,165 for clothes and shoes and $4,000 for travel.
Obviously, money poured into the 22-year marriage. Jimbo’s W-2 form in the divorce file shows he made $4,150,714 in 2014, plus an $82,812 bonus.
In the end, how much cash did homemaker Candi walk away from the relationship with? The settlement is confidential, but motions and briefs shows she got at least $3.4 million in asset distribution and about $4,500 a month in child support. The alimony amount is being kept secret.
Neither Jimbo’s attorney, South Florida’s John T. Christiansen, nor Candi’s, Tally’s Shannon Novey, would comment.

EXCLUSIVE — Alleged Flings May Have Cost FSU Football Coach Jimbo Fisher’s ex-Wife Millions in Alimony!
http://www.gossipextra.com/2016/01/05/jimbo-fisher-divorce-settlement-5536-60919
TALLAHASSEE — While Florida State University football coach Jimbo Fisher‘s hot ex-wife walked away from their marriage with at least $3.4 million and $4,500-a-month in support for the couple’s two young boys, according divorce papers obtained by Gossip Extra, she could have made a valid argument for a share of the 50-year-old coach’s paycheck until his retirement.
And with Jimbo pulling $5 million-plus a year, Candi Fisher apparently let him off the hook easy.
In Seminole terms, you could say she wuz scalped!
While the media in Tallahassee failed to report on Fisher’s divorce, which became final Dec. 10, Gossip Extra broke the story last week and identified two men with whom the coach suspected his wife of cheating: Former University of Florida and NFL receiver Taylor Jacobs, who at 34 is 12 years younger than Candi, and former FSU tennis star Owen Long, who’s 19 years her junior.
— That should be reason enough for anyone to sign up for our daily news alerts!
According to court papers, Candi was asked to produce emails and text messages that she either sent or received from the men by Dec. 9.
She never did because, hours later, the divorce papers were signed.
Former Florida State University tennis star Owen Long, 27, is the second man who surfaced in the divorce of FSU football coach Jimbo Fisher as a former lover of his wife’s (via Facebook)
The settlement is confidential. However, our analysis of briefs and motions that are public as well as interviews with two campus sources close to the Fishers show Candi signed off on a deal that made Jimbo the clear winner of this game.
Briefs in the case show she received $3.4 million in asset distributions and slightly more than one fourth of the $16,000-a-month she wanted for child support.
Candi also received a few hundred thousand in alimony but failed to ask for a piece of Jimbo’s paychecks until his retirement, which could be 15 to 20 years in the future.
We asked Candi’s lawyer, Tally attorney Shannon Novey, why that wasn’t done despite the fact such deals are common in Florida. We also asked her how the shadows of Jacobs and Long influenced the case.
Novey isn’t commenting, outside of emailing statements asking for privacy and describing the divorce as “amicable” and “confidential,” and Gossip Extra as “disgraceful” for asking questions.
This much is sure, though: Candi was asking for quite a bit of money earlier this fall!
She wanted $13.4 million in asset distribution and $200,000 a year in child support.
She also began questioning “the nature and valuation” of Jimbo’s FSU contract, according to the papers, and Jimbo’s purchase of a $480,000-farm in West Virginia and $140,000 in farm equipment without her knowledge.
She also objected to Jimbo moving nearly $3 million out of their joint bank accounts and not leaving her enough to run the household and pay her legal bills.
“All of the parties’ liquid marital assets and earnings are under the sole control and dominion of the husband,” one of her motions reads.
In the financial affidavit she filed, Candi described herself as a housewife with no income despite her bachelor’s degree in education — and $29,000 a month in expenses.

She told the court her household and food bills come to about $9,218 a month. She claimed personal expenses of about $12,000 a month, including $1,165 for clothes and shoes, and $4,000 for travels.
Total monthly bills for Candi: $29,655!
Her papers also show Jimbo made $4,1250,714 last year plus a bonus of $82,812.
The couple’s assets were estimated at $9,386,396, including the couple’s marital home and dozens of investment accounts.
A source close to Candi, meanwhile, told us Candi signed after John T. Christiansen, Jimbo’s West Palm Beach lawyer, started making noise about her alleged relationships with Jacobs and Long.
“She didn’t want this out in the open,” the source said. “She could’ve held out for more, but anything having to do with Taylor and Long could’ve opened a serious can of worms.”

I'm glad they came back to make it close. I'm glad FSU was driving into FG range with the game tied and little time left on the clock. I'm glad Louisville took the false start penalty when in FG range.
Every play that got their hopes up made their loss that much sweeter.
We have to take the little victories where we can get them.

The worst time -- or maybe the best if you thrive on drama -- to talk to a coach is the immediate moments after a loss. Emotions run high. This one was obviously charged up.

So what's wrong with halFaSsU
https://floridastate.rivals.com/news/schoffel-column-no-excuse-for-many-of-fsu-s-problems
If Jimbo Fisher or anyone in the Florida State camp is looking for excuses right now, they certainly have plenty from which to choose.
They lost their starting quarterback in week one.
There were more costly injuries in Saturday’s 27-21 loss to N.C. State, including a lower-back injury to senior linebacker Matthew Thomas and a shoulder injury to junior receiver Auden Tate. The Tate ailment was particularly significant; he was enjoying a career day with nine catches for 138 yards and one touchdown when he went down early in the third quarter.
They were deprived of a tune-up game against Louisiana-Monroe by Hurricane Irma. In the 53 days since the start of preseason practice, they had played all of one game, which Fisher admitted Saturday has caused issues with focus and motivation.
And the officiating Saturday was at best questionable. FSU’s coaches have had issues in the past with ACC referee Jeff Flanagan and his crew, and Saturday’s game won’t do anything to allay their concerns.
So, if the Seminoles choose to seek external reasons for their 0-2 start to the 2017 season, they could find plenty to comfort them. But if they sincerely reflect on what is going wrong right now, my guess is they will find much more discomfort.
This clearly isn’t the team anyone thought it would be.
The defense was said to be one of the best in the country, the offense was expected to be much more explosive with an embarrassment of riches at the skill positions, and the maturity and leadership developed from last season’s struggles were expected to be a key intangible.
So far, the ‘Noles are 0-2 on the field and 0-for-3 in those important categories.
Let's start with the defense.
Most everyone seemed excited about the way they played against Alabama, but I have to admit I wondered at the time if that game told us the whole story. Now, we absolutely have to view that group -- and defensive coordinator Charles Kelly -- in a different light. Despite playing well for stretches in both games, they have gotten off to awful starts in each of them.
* FSU is 0-2 for the first time since 1989; What's next for the 'Noles?
Against Alabama, the Crimson Tide’s first three drives ended with a touchdown and two field goal attempts. N.C. State’s first two drives went for a field goal and a touchdown. Combined, those drives saw FSU’s opponents rack up 313 yards on 45 plays -- that’s an average of 6.96 yards per play. Those five possessions resulted in two touchdowns, two field goals, one missed field goal and zero punts.
And in so many critical situations on Saturday, Kelly’s group came up short -- from the very first drive, when they gave up a 27-yard pass on third-and-13, to the last one, when they allowed N.C. State tailback Nyheim Hines to break off a 15-yard run on third-and-7. The last one salted away the game.
The story isn’t much rosier on offense.
For all the offseason talk about the improved offensive line and this incredible stable of running backs -- a tailback group that features three five-star prospects and three four-stars -- Fisher doesn’t seem to trust them very much at all. For the second game in a row, Fisher came out throwing early and then decided to almost abandon the run when they fell behind.
And it’s not as if they were getting stymied when they did try to run. Top two tailbacks Jacques Patrick and Cam Akers combined to rush for 94 yards on 20 carries. That’s a very impressive average against one of the nation’s best run defenses. But Fisher called only 20 designed runs for the entire game, compared to 44 designed passes -- 38 actual attempts plus four sacks and two QB scrambles.
It's a strange approach when you have a true freshman in James Blackman making his first career start at quarterback. And likely part of the reason the Seminoles have scored just two total touchdowns in two games.
And then there are the issues of maturity and leadership.
After struggling to a 3-2 start early last season, FSU’s players seemed to take major strides in these areas. Not only did they not give up when most of their 2016 goals were dashed, but they seemed to play harder. They got more focused and more disciplined. It’s how they were able to win seven of their last eight games and end up claiming an Orange Bowl championship.
But in a game where they needed those intangible traits to emerge in the worst way -- trailing all day with a first-time starter at quarterback -- they lacked them at all the critical moments.
They committed a slew of costly penalties. They made mistakes at the most inopportune times, whether it be a breakdown on the offensive line or a missed tackle on defense. And it appeared that at least one player lost his composure after the game. While it’s unclear if words were exchanged or if the FSU players saw N.C. State defensive lineman Bradley Chubb spitting at midfield, defensive end Josh Sweat had to intervene in what appeared to be a brewing post-game altercation.
When I asked Sweat after the game what transpired, he said he had to explain to his teammates that they can’t lose their cool no matter what happens.
“That’s not us,” Sweat said. “That’s not what we do.”
OK, but who are they? And what do they do?
Are they the team that started the season ranked No. 3? Or are they the one that now looks vulnerable against at least five more opponents on their schedule? They certainly look like the latter.
All we know for sure is they are 0-2 on the field and 0-for-3 in areas that were supposed to be their biggest strengths.
Whether they focus on the excuses or the very real problems will give us the final answer.

You're absolutely right. This shows how high his level of frustration has gotten. There'll no doubt be an apology in the post-game conference or after.

So is UF or FSU a bigger disappointment and is Jimbo a worse coach than Mac? Lots of similarities it seems with both programs, the hurricane game, key injuries (or suspensions in our case). Except Jimbo supposedly has boatloads of talent and 5*s. A serious question.

Out of character for him, but, yes, over the line.
