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

Maybe both. I think Jimbo was genuinely torn about leaving a potential championship team behind at FSU.
The relationship with FSU was likely already crumbling, but I think he believed he had teams capable of winning big. Another national championship would have given him a ton of leverage, either in his demands to FSU or if he wanted to skip town.
Of course, A&M ended up paying a king's ransom anyway without the anticipated success.
