He needs to share some of that cash with Winston. Without him, no extension.

I don't think his buyout is even close to high enough to deter Texas. I wouldn't read into this too much. A couple tweets from a coaching website:

Unless there is a shocking buyout figure in there (which I doubt given leverage) this new contract for Fisher means very little re: Texas

FootballScoop Staff ‏@footballscoop 3h
Jimbo, Briles, Saban all earned new deals, UT being / coming open just provided more leverage. None of those however lock UT out.

so what?

I have read there is no escalator. FSU gets a media hit showing commitment from Jimbo. Jimbo gets a non-prohibitive buyout clause so he can jump to Texas or NFL if he is so inclined.

This wont stop UT if they want him.

Won't stop Texas. Question is, does Dumbo want to make the move...

Players have been notified. Winston cried.
