CFB Writer: The LSU Job Is The Most Attractive On The Market & Jimbo Fisher Is Top Target

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.

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.
