Did LSU really balk at giving Jimbo 6.5 million?

I could have sworn I read something like that last night. If LSU isn't willing to pay top dollar then I don't seeing us ever landing a top coach . I really hope I misread a article or that was BS.

From what i have read ( could be bullshite ) it had little to do with money and more to do with staffing decisions.

Thats fine at 5 years but he wanted a 10 year contract @ 6.5.

I think it was more of Jimbo wanting to replace Aranda with Pruit more than money

Yeah I thought it was 65mil over 10 years = 6.5 a year. Wonder if LSU didn't want to commit to 10 years???

Maybe they didn't want to be extorted by Sexton every year or 2

It sounds like it was more
About the 10 years.
About the 10 years.

Jimbo wanted more than 6.5 way more

If these reports are correct, which remains to be seen (we should know for sure by Sunday), it was about the total guarantee. $65 million is kind of absurd. Would indicate Jimbo didn't want to be here, except for a ridiculous offer.

Anyone claiming to know definitive terms of what was demanded are kidding themselves. We probably won't know for a long time if ever what the true story is with Jimbo. Especially since Bertman isn't there to eventually spill the beans.

No. Jimbo said no after FSU gave him what he wanted.

Jimbo swung for the fences, and missed. That being said, it's not over yet. If he really wants to come to LSU -- and I think he does -- they'll work something out.

LSU should pass on him for that much money. He's a 2 loss coach. Chizik won a NC with a great qb. jimbo is over rated. quit treating him like he's saban 2.0
