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/joereedy Edmonton Oilers Shirts .

Backed by solo home runs from Pablo Sandoval, Brandon Belt and Marco Scutaro, Lincecum looked in his best form so far in 2013 as the San Francisco Giants beat the Atlanta Braves 5-1 on Sunday to wrap up an impressive homestand. Lincecum (3-2) struck out seven in seven scoreless innings to end a three-start winless stretch in which he went 0-2. The two-time NL Cy Young Award winner also stopped a four-start skid against Atlanta, beating the Braves for the first time since April 11, 2010. "Ill take it," Lincecum said. "But Im not jumping up in the air right now. ... Im happy about it, but its still a work in progress. Im still working to get better." Belt hit a solo homer in the second, Sandoval connected in the third and Scutaro went deep leading off the fifth. Gregor Blanco had an RBI double. Brandon Crawford added an RBI single in the fourth for the Giants, who concluded a 7-3 homestand. San Francisco won a home series against the NL East for the first time since April last year. Sandovals two-out drive in the third cleared the elevated right-field arcade and found the water in McCovey Cove, setting off a kayaking commotion in a frenzy to retrieve the souvenir ball. "Any time Pablos got a smile on his face its hard for the whole team not to jump on that energy and feed off it," Lincecum said. It was the 63rd splash homer by the Giants -- home run king Barry Bonds has 35 -- seventh by Kung Fu Panda and second for San Francisco this year. There have been 89 in the 14-season history of AT&T Park, including one by the Braves Brian McCann on Friday night. "My wife asked me to hit a home run into the water for her for Mothers Day," Braves starter Kris Medlen joked. "I must have misunderstood her, and gave up a home run that went into the water." In just his third quality start in eight outings, Lincecum allowed a season-low two hits after being tagged for 19 over his previous two appearances. Giants closer Sergio Romo, San Franciscos fourth reliever, allowed an RBI double to pinch-hitter Evan Gattis for Atlantas lone run. Lincecum said he chatted with the other starters after his last outing about getting back on track collectively as a rotation. "Its just kind of one of those things, we kick each other in tthe (rear end)," he said after a 111-pitch performance.dddddddddddd "Its just, here we go, this is the start of something hopefully good." The NL West-leading Giants make a quick, two-game stop starting Tuesday in Toronto, where former San Francisco outfielder Melky Cabrera will receive his World Series ring for contributions last season before his 50-game suspension for a positive testosterone test. San Francisco then heads to Coors Field in Denver for four games against the Rockies. "Its not going to be easy travel for these guys," manager Bruce Bochy said. "We get into Colorado late, but thats part of the schedule." Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez rejoined his team after two days away to attend his daughter Gigis college graduation in Georgia. But Atlanta lost its third straight since taking the opener Thursday night -- outscored 23-4 over the final three games. "We havent been real fun to watch right now," Gonzalez said. "What did we score, four runs the past couple games? They have a good club and any time we made a mistake they took advantage. We didnt get much of anything going until the end when we scored a run." The Braves continue their 10-game trip at Arizona, where left fielder Justin Upton will face his former Diamondbacks teammates. Medlen (1-5) lost his fourth straight decision and saw his winless stretch reach six outings since his lone victory his first time out this year, April 4 against the Phillies. The right-hander allowed five runs, three earned, walked a season-high five and struck out one in 5 1-3 innings. Umpires went to a replay review after Scutaros fly ball in the sixth was interfered with by a fan, preventing a possible catch by Upton. It was ruled a double, giving Scutaro six straight multihit games during his 12-game hitting streak. NOTES: Lincecum went seven or more innings allowing two or fewer hits for the first time since Aug. 13, 2011, at the Marlins. "It looked nasty from my perspective," Belt said. ... Bochy on all the pink bats, sleeves, cleats and wristbands for breast cancer awareness on Mothers Day: "Its a great day for all of us to have a chance to honour our mothers, and really for me to reflect back and realize how blessed I was to have such a great mother, not just in raising me but she was a big part of my baseball life, with my father being in the service," he said. His mother, Melrose, died in March 2007. ... Bochy hadnt decided on his designated hitter for the two games against the Blue Jays. ' ' '
