I guess Jimbo wanted to leave FSU so badly he didn't even want to give FSU a shot to match.


Pretty much, yeah

Here's how I imagine all of this went down:

Once the preliminary "would you" from LSU people still friends with Jimbo & "anythings possible" from Jimbo is over with, either Alleva or an LSU rep calls Sexton & he doesn't answer. After spreading rumors in the media for a few days, Sexton calls.
LSU: "How much for Jimbo?"
Sexton: "It will take a lot. He really loves it at FSU. What ball park are you guys in?"
LSU: "We could offer x,y &z."
Sexton: "Well that's all good but we would need something closer to Saban money."
LSU: "Like how close."
Sexton: "Very close."
LSU: " You've lost your fricking mind."

At this point a media firestorm is engulfing Baton Rouge & the rest is history.
