Last week, Bruce Feldman of Fox Sports suggested that Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher is Scott Woodward's top target to be LSU's next head coach.

This week it's National College Football reporter Pete Thamel of Yahoo Sports who agrees that Fisher is at the top of Woodward's wish list.

Thamel thinks that "LSU job is the most attractive on the market," and if it is not Fisher, Woodward could target James Franklin, Luke Fickell, Dave Aranda, Lane Kiffin or Mel Tucker.
quote:

The LSU job is the most attractive on the market. And that’s not expected to change, regardless of any other movement. Until another coach is walked to the podium at the news conference by athletic director Scott Woodward, it’s safe to project Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher as the target here. That’s always been Woodward’s dream candidate, and his history of paying historic amounts for Fisher is the best empirical evidence of that desire. Who from there? The names are all familiar – James Franklin, Luke Fickell, Dave Aranda, Lane Kiffin and Mel Tucker. If it’s not Fisher, the name will be big and the price tag expensive. Expect the LSU-Texas A&M game to end the season in Baton Rouge to be a quintessential SEC spectacle.

Would you be happy if LSU hired Jimbo Fisher? Sound off in the comment section.

Thank God Jimbo is the guy everybody is blowing up. That 100% tells me it's not going to be him.

No Lincoln Riley mention? Personally, I’d take Riley any day of the week over Fisher.

Problem is Riley has a 25 million buy out, Jimbo does not.

Jimbo is such old news, I'd rather take a chance on Napier and have it not work out

Let the melt down begin. My Thoughts are he is better than Les and O put together and they both won NC. So he could win at least 2 here

A&M got off to a slow start with injuries and have done nothing but improve as the season goes along. The QB has improved greatly. Can't say that about Max.

Jimbo Fisher is not worth any more than what Aggie is paying him, please let this not be true

Would be a huge let down if true. Still an upgrade over O but a letdown for sure.

Do we really care what Yahoo Sports thinks?

So, knowing Scott Woodward, it's going to be a name that wasn't mentioned at all.

Matt Rhule would be the homerun. LSU needs a tough, physical style to succeed in the SEC. Riley is a big name but has proven he has a soft brand of football.

Matt Rhule would be a grand slam. But, when do we get him? End of December? That is too late to wait, unless it is announced right after the Aggie game that he is living Carolina after the end of the NFL season.
