TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Florida State football coach Jimbo Fisher has signed a two-year contract extension, which will keep him at the school through the 2024 season.Fisher has been at the university since 2006, when he was hired as the offensive coordinator and head coach in waiting. He took over as coach in 2010 after Bobby Bowden retired.Florida State President John Thrasher said after the regular season concluded last month that renegotiating Fishers contract was a priority.It is the second time in Thrashers two-year tenure that he has negotiated an extension with Fisher. Fisher signed an eight-year extension in December, 2014.Jimbo and I both have a great relationship. If there was something out there that will ensure he is satisfied and make it better we said we would look at it, Thrasher told The Associated Press. I wasnt concerned about him leaving. I know he wants to be here.Fisher was frequently asked about his interest in LSU the past two years, especially after Les Miles was fired in September. Fisher was the offensive coordinator at LSU before coming to Florida State.Fisher has a 77-17 record, including leading the school to the 2013 BCS national championship. The 10th-ranked Seminoles (9-3) will participate in a New Years Six game for the fifth straight season, squaring off against No. 6 Michigan in the Orange Bowl on Dec. 30.Florida State is a special place and I look forward to continuing to build on our past success into the future, Fisher said in a statement. We are committed to developing young men in all phases of their lives and we have the administrative staff in place to do this.According to the terms of the contract which were released by the school, Fisher will earn an annual salary of at least $5.5 million beginning next season. The slight increase places him in the top five among the highest paid college football coaches according to USA Todays coaching salary database.There is also an option for two additional years to be added to the contract if the Seminoles win nine or more games during the regular season.The biggest change is with the buyout, which looks to be around $5 million if Fisher were to leave any time before the contract expires.In Fishers previous contract, the buyout was $5 million if he left prior to Dec. 31, 2016, dropping to $3 million if he departed prior to Dec. 31, 2018 and $1 million after Jan. 1, 2019.Based on the language of the new contract, Fisher would now also owe Florida State the buyout amount of each member of his staff. The contract gives an example where Fisher would owe $5.4 million if the university had to pay nine assistants $600,000 apiece.Thrasher said the reworked buyout was one of the pivotal things the university wanted to discuss.If we do something to tweak it and make it positive there had to be some quid pro quo there, Thrasher said. He understands that. It is a fair thing to do from the universitys standpoint.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25---Follow Joe Reedy on Twitter at www.twitter.com/joereedyBuck Martinez Jersey .

COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- DJ Durkin knew it would take some time for him to build Maryland into a team that can compete with the top schools in the Big Ten.Theres no telling how long it will take, because it became quite clear last weekend that a substantial gap exists between the Terrapins and the teams theyre trying to emulate.Coming off a humbling 59-3 loss at Michigan, Maryland now must prepare for No. 6 Ohio State at home Saturday.Thats a tough order for any team, let alone a youth-laden squad in its first year under a coach with a long-term plan for success.Its all a work in progress, and were going to continue down that road, Durkin said Tuesday. Weve bounced back from some tough things throughout this season.The Terrapins (5-4, 2-4) rebounded from an ugly home loss to Minnesota last month with a victory over Michigan State. But every one of their wins this season have come Perry Hills at quarterback, and his status for Saturday is up in the air after he reinjured his right shoulder in the second quarter at Michigan.Hes day to day. Thats the real answer, Durkin said. I trust Perry. Hell tell you how he really feels. Were not going to put him in harms way if its bad for him or our team.Hills first hurt his shoulder against Penn State and missed the Minnesota game. He returned to beat Michigan State and put up 36 points against Indiana in a loss two weeks ago.With or without him, the Terrapins are going to have trouble against Ohio State (8-1, 5-1). The Buckeyes put it all together last week in a 62-3 rout of then-No. 10 Nebraska and have totaled 101 points against Maryland over the ppast two seasons.dddddddddddd.Its another great opportunity, Terps receiver Levern Jacobs said. Theyre a great team and playing at a high level right now. Were definitely going to have to bring our A-game.Even that might not be good enough against the Buckeyes. Maryland gave up touchdowns on each of Michigans first five possessions and never had a chance after reaching halftime in a 35-0 hole.Thats the kind of thing that happens to a team that has started five true freshmen and employed 15 overall.In a normal year, youre probably not playing 15 freshmen, Durkin said. Some guys are in an unfair position right now. Theyre being forced to play and asked to perform, and theyre probably not quite ready. But thats OK. Theyll get ready, and theyll be that much more ready as we go forward.Durkin believes that the development of the underclassmen, combined with a few good recruiting classes, will enable Maryland to hold its down with the conference elite.Well close that gap and move forward, Durkin said. The team weve got right now, weve got a group of guys who know how to win. We havent done that at a consistent basis. But when were all playing together and doing the right thing, I think were a tough matchup for anyone.That, unfortunately, was not the case at Michigan.Weve got to get better, defensive tackle Azubuike Ukandu said. Thats not good enough to beat teams like that.---More AP college football at www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25. ' ' '
