FSU wouldn't let him walk without a fight, and if anyone suggests that they are retarded. It's clear both sides have leverage in their own right, but it's LSU that has leverage in overall resources.

Then again that scares me. They have four days to come up with their money and boosters.

FSU will offer more money and it won't be enough. What Jimbo really needs to reach his true potential is not within reason according to FSU.

He recruited Wiston to FSU for Jimbo. Craig was his primary contact

Finally some sanity. FSU is not letting Jimbo walk. They have deep pockets there just like LSU. Plus reality will set in as to where they go from Jimbo. Not to many elite coaches out there. Provided of course they consider him elite.
FSU has the upper hand. They will most likely get last look.

What is/was the sour part of the issue between Jimbo and Tommy?

The argument here is whether or not FSU decides to break the bank to keep him, yet the narrative has always been FSU doesn't do enough to ensure his success by paying assistants. Leverage - LSU

Break the bank?!?! For an athletic program as large as FSU's and their alumni base I hardly think bumping a guy $1.5-$2m is an issue, provided they think he is an elite coach.
Hard to believe that any program would allow coach on his early 50's that has won a national championship just 3 yrs ago walk because of a coulple of million and / or because he wants more money for his assistants.
I'll believe Jimbo is our HC when I see him next to Alleva and he's wearing an LSU hat.

This is the problem. They don't consider it and they don't want it considered.
How much much would you have to get paid in that situation? National title and all.

What I wanna know is, did we just offer Fisher the job? Or did he say he would take it at any point. I real all of the post from last night but and all I see is that he's coming. Does this mean he he accepted or we just assume he will?

I agree with you, sir. FSU won't let him bolt simply because he gets a raise, I brought this up in previous posts in this thread. My point being: the reports we have seen & coaches Jimbo has lost has been due to FSU's inability to pony up cash to fight to keep assistants in bidding wars. Throwing another $2m a year at Fisher further ties FSU's hands to, let's say, not have the ability to pay a DC $1.5m a year, like we do here in Baton Rouge.
Everything is relative.
EDIT: For perspective, Charles Kelly (FSU DC) received a 43.8% raise from his 2015 salary. Charles Kelly now makes $833k.

Well, sometimes program's get tired of coaches repeatedly coming back to the well, especially after a less successful season. Remember when Skip basically told Saban to frick off before he left for Miami. The money didn't matter in that case. Everyone knew he was leaving, but Skip put that parting shot out there because he was sick of Saban and Sexton hitting him up for more year after year.
I don't think that is the case at FSU, but it does happen. They are in a position where if they balk on anything, LSU will jump on it. And with Les supposedly taking another job, we will have more flexibility to go higher where Jimbo wants/needs us to. Do they want to go to the mattresses to keep him, or do they flinch at some point?

Not meant to flame.
So the argument is that FSU doesn't think their HC is elite and they show that by his low salary? Correct me if I'm wrong but he is top 5 -7 in the nation, right? So are you saying that there is something else besides the lack of commitment to assistant salaries that is making Jimbo feel less than appreciated by the FSU admins? I had not heard that if that the case, which is great for us if so.
For me to not feel snubbed or appreciated by my university with Jimbo's resume, I'd say they would have to make sure im within top 5 salary wise at least.

Can he even sign anything until after the final regular season game?

While all of that is true if it was just an issue of money... which it is not. There is no secret Jimbo has an affinity to LSU and Louisiana.

Trying not to step on toes.
What LSU offered in money is part of a strategy. FSU won't flinch to match the money, but the money insures they flinch at something else. The something else is what Jimbo wants.
