Oh Lawd. If Jimbo Fisher takes the LSU job he wants to steal Pruitt from us

From the same source I had last year and two more sources inside the LSU athletic department (my same source from last year is very close to the FSU athletic department and a major figure head at a current SEC school and a personal friend).
I’ve been informed by all three sources (personal friend being the most connected) that Jimbo Fisher, barring any sudden wedge being driven like last year, has accepted LSU’s offer to become head coach for approximately 6.75 million with incentives to bump it to 7.5 million, the housing stipend was never an issue and it wasn’t about Louisiana state income taxes as LA property tax vs FL property tax is virtually a push and not an issue as far as net income is concerned.
I was also informed that Aranda would be retained but that in the event he suddenly bolts that Jimbo will be making a hard push for Jeremy Pruitt and that we would pay similar to Cam Cameron’s salary as a coordinator. O’s status is currently unknown as LSU is keeping that headline alive until the season’s end in what was basically described to me as a sideshow to keep the media (mostly ESPN) from running with misinformation and letting the O conversation dominate their headlines.

The delusion is strong with that crowd.

Maybe they need to focus on who Larry Fedora wants to bring down there.

Leaves Jimbo and FSU for UGA, but would leave Bama for Jimbo and LSU
They keep finding ways to add Saban and/or Bama into their coaching search.
I might have a hernia from laughter if Charles Kelly is their DC and they let Dave "We'll pay him 3 million" Aranda go...

They are going 5 for 5, wait. Never mind.

Someone needs to start a rumor that Chip Kelly wants back in the college game so bad, that he is begging to be their OC.

I do believe Jimbo will take the LSU job. Too much smoke around here regarding that issue. I can't imagine Pruitt wants out.

i think this is a ploy by Jimmie Sexton who loves to stir the pot and release info to get his guy a sweeter deal at his current school. Maybe not a huge raise after this year but maybe a few years added to his contract as well as a few perks.

Don't forget that Kiffin will also make a lateral move to lsu.

Jimbo was basically hired 2 months ago (contacted after Wisconsin loss and firmed up after Auburn loss).

Makes sense to me

Let them hire Jimbo. He's a good coach but nothing special.

Whoever they hire, will be fired within 4 years for not beating Bama.
The more the merrier, I say!

Guys, what's the chance Lane stays one more year to coach Hurts?
