Florida State head football coach Jimbo Fisher is defending the school's punishment of Jameis Winston, who will be sitting out the first half of the Seminole's game Saturday.

As documented on Twitter, Winston apparently got up on a table in the student union Tuesday and shouted something obscene. Deadspin first reported that Winston was referencing a crude Internet meme. (Previous link leads to an article with strong language).

According to ESPN, Fisher stood by the school's punishment, which interim president Garnett S. Stokes and athletic director Stan Wilcox announced Wednesday. Technically Winston did nothing wrong, but this was just the latest incident of the reigning Heisman Trophy winner grabbing headlines for the wrong reason.

"We're in charge. It's our team. That's our thought. We went with the consequences and we're ready to move on," Fisher told ESPN Thursday.

The head football coach's name was not on Stokes and Wilcox's joint statement, which begs the question of whether or not Fisher dolled out the punishment. While it may look like Fisher did not want to be without Winston for an important ACC matchup with a ranked opponent, the coach did not appear to commiserate with his quarterback.

"He was wrong, and he made a mistake and a bad error in judgment," Fisher said. "That's water under the bridge. We got to move on and get ready for this game.

"What his problem is, he doesn't always see the danger in all the situations."

As for the suspension being too light, Fisher said there is a possible scenario where Winston sits out the second half after his first-half suspension is up. Fisher said backup QB Sean Maguire could play the whole game if he has a good enough first half.

The half-game suspension will force ABC's broadcast to focus on Winston being on the sideline, not on the field. It also weakens and potentially relinquishes Winston's control over the potential outcome, as well as eats at his chances of winning postseason honors.

"Jameis is still your guy, but we'll have to see the flow of the game and what goes on," Fisher said. "I've thought of that, hypothetically, a bunch of times. I really have. It's got to be a feel, a game-time decision, what's going on."
