Report: LSU has given Jimbo Fisher an 'extremely substantial' offer
FSU coach Jimbo Fisher has long been linked to the LSU opening, and it appears the Tigers are intent on bringing him back home.
Fisher served as the team’s offensive coordinator for a number of years under Nick Saban and Les Miles before moving on to Florida State, where he has been extremely successful as a head coach.
While Fisher has denied his interest in the job publicly, reports have surfaced that LSU has made a strong offer to the Seminoles coach.
Word out of Baton Rouge, from a Tiger insider…. Jimbo has been offered the job at LSUhttps://t.co/ppxU2CWIrn

Charles Hanagriff – Jimbo Fisher has an #LSU offer. And it's an extremely substantial one.

Hanagriff – they're doing a "what will you take?" with Jimbo. Call that what you may, an offer or whatever. He's top choice. #LSU @1045espn

With a few weeks remaining in the season, this decision might not happen immediately but it’s a story that continues to develop.
As a LSU fan I am not that big on Jimbo, but if he will. E our guy then he will have my support.
Not my fav either, but I will suport him… there’s 3 or 4 others, not named herman, that I’d be interested in having the job.
*support… still need an edit feature..
I’m curious, to all you Florida fans out there, since y’all play both LSU and FSU every year would you rather have Fisher at FSU or at LSU? Just wondering
He’s had our number at FSU, so I’d wanna see him at LSU. If he was to catch well against us, I’d rather lose to LSU than FSU.
I freaking hate playing in Tallahassee, so I say at LSU, if they start rebuilding at FSU that should be good for us lol :)
Dear Jimbo,
We don’t know how he did it, but after you left, Les broke our offense. Please come back and fix it.
Yours truly,
LSU
LMFAO.
I think all this talk benefits the gators… Thanks Alleva, got us a compettive edge against Fsu and an 2 years in a row in the swamp :)
I was thinking the same thing. Under normal circumstances I think FSU would have a pretty favorable shot to win against Florida this year, but all this chatter about Fisher and LSU – you never know how 18-22 year-olds will react to that. Then again, there’s no explanation for Arkansas waxing the Gators a couple of weeks ago, or FSU being slobberknocked by Louisville. Not a game I’d bet on – too many moving parts.
I don’t want Jimbo in the SEC. I can’t stand him, bring in someone like Herman please
Do they really count sc as SEC these days? I guess I should say, do other SEC schools really care what the doormat thinks? Go Tigers!!
SC seems to me to be on the right track…
The entire SEC East is a doormat… Again. It’s worse than the bottom of the power 5 divisions. Some metrics have it lower than the Mountain West.
to quote donald trumps tweet right before he ran for president: Be careful!
