Former Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher named ACC Network studio analyst

ESPN Press Release — ACC Network unveiled a series of programming announcements and initiatives for the 2025 college football season as ACC Football Kickoff officially began Tuesday in Charlotte, N.C. Most notably, former Florida State head coach and 2013 national champion Jimbo Fisher has joined ACC Network as a studio analyst, bringing his championship pedigree and head coaching insights to the ACC Huddle desk.
The 24/7 national network dedicated to ACC sports also announced that ACC Huddle will travel to the marquee ACC game each weekend. In addition, a new twice-weekly ACC football show will debut later this summer.
Three-time ACC champion and National Championship-winning head coach Jimbo Fisher has joined ACC Network and ESPN as a college football studio analyst. Fisher will appear weekly alongside ACC Huddle host Taylor Tannebaum and analysts Eric Mac Lain, the winningest player in Clemson history, and former Virginia Tech star receiver Eddie Royal. (Note: EJ Manuel will transition to a new ESPN studio role this fall while still maintaining a strong presence across ACCN.)
