re: Who were the candidates for the LSU job in 2005?

Yes Fisher was interviewed. Skip wanted a sitting head coach though

Petrino was interviewed, nutt was interviewed, Bobby Williams iirc, also DelRio was non interviewed ( sat in his car in the parking lot scared Jacksonville would fire him if he actually met with LSU) and RC Slocum was interviewed after former President Bush (1) called skip and asked a personal favor to talk to RC. Miles of course and turned out to be the right pick

If Meyer and Spurrier hadn't already been hired at UF and USC one of those two would have gotten the job, certainly Spurrier

I thought Jimbo was looked at but they didn't like him from his time as the OC at LSU.

Huh? Jimbo was Miles OC in 05 & 06
