LSU athletic director Scott Woodward reportedly pursued Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher up until the end of LSU's search with an 8-year, $125 million deal that would pay him $13 million a year.

These numbers were first reported by Billy Liucci of TexAgs and then by Brett McMurphy of the Action Network.


Fisher was making $7.5 million this year and will earn $9 million in 2022.

Brian Kelly's new 10-year contract at LSU will start at $9 million in the first year and increase over time up to $10 million, plus incentives.

Reported by an Aggie trying to make people think LSU really wanted their coach and we got turned down. Can't beat LSU on the field so they live for the offseason victories.

How dumb would it be for LSU to throw that kind of money at a coach who just lost to a LSU team that had no head coach? The optics, if that happened, would have been terrible.

Thank God we have Brian Kelly. Never wanted Jimbo. Fate intervened and LSU will benefit greatly.

Believe me there’s no way Scott was giving Jimbo that much money and settled for a little Brian Kelly who’s team was on the outside of the final four. With a very good shot at making it at the time for $30 million less. Kelly has more skins on the wall True he does not have a national championship but he’s been to the game and had two more playoff appearances with one almost relevant at the time of his hiring at LSU. This came from the Texas A&M side trying to make yourself feel better about losing to LSU and Coach O

I don't hate Jimbo. I think he's a good coach. Why some people think he's the best choice, however, is a mystery.

I really don’t get the love Jimbo gets.
