LSU offered Jimbo Fisher a little over $6 million a year took coach, but his agent wanted closer to $7 million. Time was running short on both sides with games to play this afternoon and Fisher decided to inform his superiors he was staying in Tallahassee. LSU thought they had made Fisher a very fair offer.

Ever walk off a car lot haggling over $500-$1,500? You must draw a line somewhere.
