<p>Some FSU football news: </p>
<p>Ultimately, the lure of Alabama and potential big money - or offers to become a head football coach - could not keep Jimbo Fisher away.</p>
<p>Not even a glitch in the serious talks when Florida State officials withdrew an offer to Fisher last Saturday could derail Fisher from arriving in Tallahassee.</p>
<p>"I just think it was an opportunity we couldn't pass up and I'm very, very excited about being here," said Fisher, formally introduced as FSU's new offensive coordinator Friday. </p>
<p>Fisher said he had been leaning strongly toward joining FSU weeks before Monday when the deal became final. Fisher had been linked to head-coaching jobs at Louisiana Tech and UAB as well as other offensive-coordinator jobs - some that apparently would have paid him more than what he accepted at FSU.</p>
<p>"I had some opportunities and ones that I was very flattered by," Fisher said. "I'm tickled to be (here). I don't have another job in mind."</p>
<p>"I want to be the offensive coordinator at Florida State. ... It's as good a job as there is in the country."</p>
