FROM KEITH GROLLER


Jimbo Fisher, whose Florida State team won a riveting BCS national championship game on Monday night, headlines the list of college coaches expected to be here for the annual NIKE Coach of the Year Clinic at the Holiday Inn and Conference Center in Fogelsville.
The clinic runs from Thursday, Feb. 27 to Saturday March 1.
Fisher's appearance is slated for 10:15 to 11:45 on Friday morning, Feb. 28.
In addition to Fisher, former Lehigh coach Pete Lembo, who led Ball State to the GoDaddy Bowl on Sunday night will be here.
Penn State's Bill O'Brien had been slated to appear, but since he left for the NFL and the Texans, he will be replaced on the schedule by someone else, possibly the new Penn State coach.
The clinic is available (at a cost) to all area youth and high school coaches.
