They got "had" alright.

"Sextoned" is what they got. And, you know what, I don't blame Sexton - it's what he does. He probably looks at any situation where the current guy is getting paid more (or could be paid more) than his guy.

He pulls up his list of clients, in descending order of salary.

Saban - (contenders are a short list) - "Hello, Texas AD? Would you be interested in Nick Saban, for, say $11 million a year?"

Fisher - "Hello, LSU AD? Would you be interested in Jimbo Fisher for, say, $6 million a year? Hypothetically of course. Something you could talk about? We wouldn't be all that far apart? Good. So, you guys thinking about getting rid of Les, huh? Okay. Yes. Jimbo has mentioned LSU to me many times as a place he can see himself coaching. We'd need 6 years plus a few incentives. Okay, we'll get together on the details later." "Hello, FSU AD? I feel like I have to inform you that LSU is interested in Jimbo for, say, $5.75 million over 6 years. Is there some number I can say to my client that will help sway him to stay put? Okay. Good. I'll let him know."

I mean THAT'S HIS JOB.

On the other hand, it is the LSU AD's job to see through this and, even if interested, not leak shite to the press and keep the BoS' mouths shut.
