Jimbo coaching records



http://www.tomahawknation.com/2015/9/13/9320095/two-historic-benchmarks-coming-up-for-coach-jimbo-fisher

"Jimbo Fisher is now 60-11 at Florida State, obviously a historically incredible start for a college football coach. For reference, Urban Meyer went 65-15 his six seasons at UF, and Nick Saban was 55-12 his first five years at Alabama. I don't think it's very controversial to suggest CJF is already the 2nd greatest coach in FSU history, but there are two major benchmarks for our school that he is not far away from breaking.
Most wins as head coach
Bobby's 316 wins is probably going to stand for a little while, but in 2nd place we have Bill Peterson who went 62-42-11 in 11 seasons as Florida State's head coach from 1960-1970. If Jimbo wins these next three games @BC, @WF and against Miami, Jimbo will be outright the 2nd winningest coach in FSU history, before his 6th season has even finished!
Best 50 game streak in FSU history
This is in my opinion much more exciting. As of right now the best streak in FSU history is 46-4, If you take any of the middle 50 games between our win over Notre Dame on Jan, 1 1996 to our loss against Miami on October 17, 2000.
Starting with our win over Florida on November 26th, 2011 FSU has gone 43-3. That means if we can win our next four games @BC, @WF, Miami AND Louisville then FSU will officially have its best 50-game record at any point in FSU history, at 47-3!
I know this is a "rebuilding" year where expectations are tempered and patience is going to be required, but I am rooting like heck for these next four games because Jimbo has a chance to keep doing special things with the Noles!"
