The Orlando Sentinel's Florida State beat writer Andrew Carter spoke with Seminoles head coach Bobby Bowden recently about the rumors surrounding head coach-in-waiting Jimbo Fisher and Auburn.

Here was Bowden's comment:

“Well, I don’t pay any attention to that. That’ll probably come up every year. That’ll probably come up every year, and most of it’s probably not even true. But I think Jimbo’s a man of his word and his plans are to stay at Florida and he told me that and he told our president that. And people write that stuff in there – they write that stuff in there like he’s not a man of his word, you know it. And we take him as a man of his word, so I don’t pay any attention to that.”

Fisher will speak at the Montgomery Quarterback Club tonight (oh, the timing!), where hopefully Fisher gives a more definitive answer about his future.
