From CNN.com and Athlon Sports:

The handoff might have been a little sloppy, but Jimbo Fisher insists he was running full speed when he took the baton last January from legendary Florida State coach Bobby Bowden. In the end, Fisher says, that’s all that matters. Yes, the Seminoles’ highly publicized “head coach-in-waiting” plan was awkward at times. Yes, the administration had to ultimately push Bowden aside a year earlier than he would have preferred. But once those unpleasantries were out of the way, Fisher was indeed able to hit the ground running this past spring.

And he believes that will be the key to a rapid turnaround in 2010. While a normal first-year head coach still would be figuring out his players, getting to know who he could count on in different situations, Fisher says he already is in second gear.

No, not the retirement of Brett Favre.  The beginning of Fall Practice for the Florida State Seminoles.

Yesterday marked the official beginning of the season for FSU as the Noles took to the Al Dunlap Practice Fields.

Everyone was in high spirits as this was the first time since 1976 that the annual Fall Camp was coached by someone other than Bobby Bowden.

“It was a good moment, but you had to put it behind you and go coach,” said head coach Jimbo Fisher.
