In other words, Jimbo’s name being “mentioned” is code for, “Texas A&M knows it has almost no chance of getting Fisher, but he’s on their wish list nonetheless.”

I’ll compare it to going on an online dating website: You swing for the fences and click on the most attractive women available even though you know you have NO SHOT WHATSOEVER!

I'll tell you the same thing I told Finebaum last year when there were rumors and rumblings about LSU pursuing Jimbo: “Pawwwwl, why would Jimbo leave FSU for a lesser job such as LSU?”

And if LSU is a lesser job than FSU, then Texas A&M is REALLY a lesser job than FSU. At least at LSU, you are the king of an entire recruiting-rich state. At Texas A&M, you will always be the Texas Longhorns’ annoying kid brother.

And, besides, why would Jimbo go to a perennially second-tier SEC program where he has to take on Alabama, Auburn and LSU just to win his division? Do you realize the last time A&M won a conference championship was 20 years ago when the Aggies were in the Big 12?
