It’s always nice to know you have someone in your corner who will tell you the hard truth in private but still support you in public. Ross Bjork obviously hears all the talk about the security of Jimbo Fisher’s job, but he takes it with a grain of salt as he sees the bigger picture.
Just like the 93,000 season ticket holders, Bjork is ready to put last year in the rearview mirror while waiting to see how the recent changes materialize on the gridiron. Bjork reiterated as much recently.
“The expectations are what they are. It’s the SEC,” Bjork said. “We all have those expectations, but what I look at is what we’re doing to build for the future. We’re recruiting at a level we’ve never recruited at before. Our fans are stepping up and continuing to invest in the program.
“I’m excited about what comes next and not worrying about one bad season.”
I’m with Ross on this one; it’s really going to take a season like 2022 or worse for me to call for Jimbo’s walking papers. All the pieces seem to be in place, and he’s given Jimbo all the support he needs to be successful, so it’s time to prove Bjork right.
