re: USATODAY: Texas A&M prepared to pursue Jimbo Fisher

How, exactly, is Sexton supposed to leverage this into a raise for Jimbo when he just got a raise and extension last year, and has had a down year? FSU isn't likely to play that game this time around, and, at some point, putting your name out there for jobs every year starts to hurt recruiting at your current job.

Jimbo is about to have a major staff overhaul, and he wants the FSU checkbook open. This couldn't be any more transparent. I'm guessing this plays out exactly how it did with LSU last year, he will be the top name for three or four days after the season is over and then aTm will move on after Sexton hikes the figure up to Saban levels and FSU has committed to paying assistants 1.5M a year.
