This is likely a Sexton ploy to get Fisher more money. I seriously doubt he wants to go to Texas A&M.

Fisher will not get another raise. They will put more cash into the pool for assistants.

Clay travis on the radio just now said all insiders he's spoken with are damn near 100% confident Fisher is going to A&M.

Said this weekends LSU game means nothing for Sumlin. He gone

How do you think these rumors get around? "Insiders" might as well be called agent leak machines this time of year.

One of those insiders is Sumlin's friend, and traditionally very reserved in his thoughts

Well, it wouldn't totally shock me as A&M does have a lot of money to throw around. We'll see.

despite what Tennessee fans think, A&M is a much better job.

IMO A&M is a top 5 SEC job

UGA is at least equal to LSU and many people would say it's better.

Yes all about context. Liucci typically doesn’t say these kinds of things so I put some stock in it

If A&M follows the 2015 LSU blueprint it would be beyond hilarious.

-A&M fans and talking heads are 100% confident Sumlin is out after the LSU game

-They have the private jet waiting on the tarmac for Jimbo Fisher. He's a done deal.

-A&M beats LSU in dramatic fashion and the players carry him off the field

-Only to learn A&M doesn't fire him because he finally beat LSU

-Welcome back to Earth A&M

We won’t pussy out and keep him like you did. We might not end up with Jimbo, but Sumlin is done

Talking about 10 year- $7.5 million a year


There are at least 10 NFL head coaches that would come to College Station for that kind of contract.

I think it’s clear Jimbo wants out of Tallahassee. I doubt he has much leverage at this point with FSU. The administration is going to call his bluff sooner or later.

Then again Jimmy Sexton could have carte blanche to work his magic behind the scenes. He’ll create all kinds of chaos of bullshite & lies just to get Jimbo another year tacked onto his contract and a 15% increase in the budget for assistants.

If A&M lands Fisher after what happened to LSU last year this site will lose its fricking mind

Why does he want out? If FSU fires him they will owe him 40 million. His ex wife lives there and I seriously doubt she would want to live in College Station. His sick son gets great care where he is at and driving 2 hours round trip to Houston is not feasible for a time consumed SEC coach.
