VIDEO: Jimbo Fisher threatens to bench Winston during Rose Bowl

Jayne Kamin-Oncea-USA TODAY Sports

Thursday's Rose Bowl didn't exactly play out the way Florida State would have liked, as the defending National Champions suffered an embarrassing 59-20 loss at the hands of quarterback Marcus Mariota and his Oregon Ducks.

The Seminoles' frustrations reached a boiling point when head coach Jimbo Fisher had a heated exchange with quarterback Jameis Winston on the sidelines.

The result appeared to show the coach threatening to bench the Heisman-winning quarterback.

"If you don't calm the fuck down, you're goin to the bench"

Winston finished the game with 348 yards, a touchdown and an interception while going 29-of-45 in pass attempts.
