Sounds to me like Fisher wanted the LSU job, Alleva didn't want to pay him.

Alleva hired Ed Orgeron over Jimbo Fisher.

Thank God. Jimbo could very well tank over the next few years. That was one stupid contract. Guaranteeing 10 years. Fk that.

The only reason I hesitate to say he absolutely wanted the LSU job is that Sexton kept coming back to LSU for more and more. So did Jimbo want the job or was he setting up leverage with Florida State?

Maybe Sexton knew a higher bidder would come calling a year or two down the road and convinced Jimbo to wait. Point is, Jimbo could have agreed to terms and it could have been kept quiet. Instead it drug on, Les got his media buddies involved, and he beat a shitty A&M team because the team assumed it was his last game and they played their asses off for him.

Alleva scrweed up and F King is a total joke but I think Jimbo/Sexton played a role in the deal as well.
