Jimbo Fisher cuts off interview over Jameis Winston question

Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher is most definitely tiring of fielding questions about troubled quarterback Jameis Winston, but when one such question tied Fisher's own credibility to that of his oft-criticized star on Monday, it was too much. Fisher cut off a media Chad Henne Jersey interview and refused to answer more questions prior to meeting with the Birmingham (Ala.) Monday Morning Quarterback Club., Fisher was asked if it was fair that his reputation was taking a hit."Why is my reputation taking a hit? For backing a kid who has done nothing wrong?" Tyrann Mathieu Jersey Fisher said. "I don't want to get into this. The questions weren't supposed to be asked today. I'm done. I'm done."Winston related to a sexual a sault allegation that he was not legally charged for, and is also the subject of an ongoing FSU investigation into in violation of NCAA rules. Among other disciplinary i Reggie Ragland Jersey sues, his only suspension from playing football in his year and a half as the Seminoles' starter came against Clemson earlier this year, for at the FSU student union.Winston is running short on supporters these days, but .Fisher has staunchly defended the third-year sophomore, and said Winston told him he Anthony Sherman Jersey had not taken any money for signed memorabilia. Fisher said the quarterback club told him there would be no questions about Winston's off-field troubles, but according to the report, media on hand were told of no such restrictions. Given that Winston's hometown of Hueytown, Ala., isn't far from Birmingham, it's not likely reporters would have made the conce sion, anyway.The reality for Fisher is that as long as he stands by a player who finds trouble and controversy as Joe Montana Jersey consistently as Winston does, reporters' questions about it aren't going to go away. Fisher might have gotten away from one such question on Monday, but he's merely walking into another the next time he approaches a microphone.*Follow Chase Goodbread on Twitter *
