Florida State Seminoles head coach Jimbo Fisher is channeling his inner Bill Belichick, head coach of the New England Patriots.

The Florida State coach, who Monday expressed his displeasure with how the Florida State media was covering the team, was unwilling to elaborate on that or discuss anything else that was not related to Notre Dame when speaking to the media Wednesday.
From College Football Talk:
"“We’re moving on to Notre Dame,” Fisher said during the weekly ACC coaches conference call. “[Monday’s] press conference is over. We’re getting focused on this game. We’re moving forward. That’s where our focus and concentration is right now.”Asked to at least address a particular story or criticism of coverage of his team, Fisher cut off the question and stuck to his stance.“We’re moving on to Notre Dame,” Fisher said once more. “We’re getting ready for this game. We have a great game, a great opportunity. That’s the direction in which we’re moving.”Not satisfied with not having the question answered, the reporter asked once more for a follow-up, as any solid journalist with integrity would do. Like a broken record, Fisher again relayed his response.“We’re moving on to Notre Dame,” Fisher said for a third time. “We have a great game this weekend. We’re getting ready to prepare for that game. That’s where our sole focus and concentration is.”"
Belichick, the New England Patriots coach that infamously repeated “We’re on to Cincinnati” to reporters prior to his team’s game versus the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 5, has apparently started a new wave of coach speak.
Still, with all that is surrounding Florida State and its quarterback Jameis Winston at the moment, one can’t blame Fisher for wanting to focus on the actual game at the moment.
Florida State will take on Notre Dame this Saturday in what is college football’s top game of the weekend.
