This guy says LSU offered Jimbo
"This guy" is Zach Ragan and he is actually citing The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman.

From what I’m hearing from people around LSU is that Scott Woodward is not giving up easily. And he feels like he may be able to pull Jimbo Fisher again even though the A&M people are like ‘no, that’s not happening.’ So we’ll see how that plays out.”

Most intelligent people would say that is speculation on his part. He is a sports reporter trying to create interest. Nothing wrong with that. But it is not verified.

As does this guy
"This guy" is Austin Brezina also citing (surprise, surprise) Bruce Feldman. He actually uses the same quote for his source. Seriously?
quote:

and this guy
"This guy" is Tom Hanslin and The Zach Gelb Show citing ESPN college analyst Greg McElroy. The quote from McElroy is that "It's not going to happen." He actually unequivocally states that Fisher will not leave A&M. He does not even mention LSU offering him the job.

Is this really what passes for reputable sources for you?

You linked 3 different stories all about the same Feldman tweet you disingenuous piece of shite.


That's true, and it was disingenuous.

But you guys pushed me to it! Just a few weeks ago, there were scores of LSU posters crowing how yall had stolen Jimbo. Multiple LSU posters on this very site have claimed first hand knowledge of the fact that LSU offered Jimbo. And now yall are acting like it never happened. This gas lighting can not be allowed.

Yeah, weeks of this. “Hide your coaches, if LSU wants him we’ll get him” as they threw out big names like Riley, Rhule, Jimbo, Aranda ect. Then they get BK and when asked why wasn’t he on your wishlist if he’s so good they say “Well, we didn’t think we could get him”
Oh, ok. So you thought you could pull Riley from OU or Jimbo from A&M but not Kelly from ND??

Lots of lies being told on the CCB

It’s cool to ride for your guy now that it’s done, but stop all the “if we wanted your guy we would’ve gotten him” bs
He’s a good hire, but there’s reasons he wasn’t mentioned till the ink was dry.

You do understand the legal concept of hearsay, correct? He is not citing Woodward. He is talking about his sources at LSU (which I am sure he has - they just are not Woodward).

Enjoy your troll though. You did put a lot of effort into it.

What exactly does that do for you?

Do you guys get a trophy or something if your head coach is a candidate in a coaching search?

Does it ease the pain of you losing LSU‘s practice squad?


I seriously don’t get It

I just get tired of all the LieSU posters re-writing history. You people are too fricking thin-skinned to even admit that Jimbo is a great coach. (Which I have said many times about Kelly.)

As an Aggie, who cares? I'm glad we kept Jimbo and think he's a great coach.

Corndogs don't think he's a great coach and are glad they got the angry Yankee. Everyone is happy.

As for who's right, time will tell but no one on this board can say for sure what happened or who came out ahead.

Yes, they do. They're just liars.

If their AD has gotten his way, there would be thread after thread about what an amazing recruiter he is and how he's going to win a billion games at LSU.

He is an exceptional coach. Wanted him before we hired CEO. But that ship has sailed. Woodward clearly has a personal affinity for him and may have even wanted to hire him, but I doubt he actually offered because there was no way he was going to outbid A&M. I am of the opinion that he settled on Brian Kelly early on. He is a solid, safe hire. We are a program in shambles and we needed a strong hand to get our house back in order.

You really think the same guy who paid him a kings ransom to go to A&M didn’t even kick the tires on bringing him to LSU?

I’m just sayin all these guys lie to save face.

No way in hell SW would admit he got turned down just like a HC would never admit he talked to another team before signing a contract with the team he went to.

Hell, last HC search we did our AD n UF Brass went to Chip Kelly’s house and came home empty handed yet they all say no offer was made. I don’t believe that for a fkn second
