I was told Jimbo turned it down. He was the only one worth paying the buyout in the minds of the money folk . I believe it

F King Alexander shut it down. John Bell Edwards weighing in didn't help.

Great question. I hope many here finally realize (they will not) that 90% of what is said here about the behind the scenes stuff is wrong. Heck 3/4 of it must be false because it conflicts with other rumors and one precludes the other.

LSU dominated by moronic fans, so Jimbo said no thanks.

Nobody sees fricking LSU as a destination job because its fricking LSU, not USC.

A bunch of simpletons pretended to have insider information, but it was just conversations with other idiots in their trailer park.

There is far more truth to this aspect than anyone can understand. It would look incredibly bad for the school. It doesn't matter if TAF pays or a booster pays it. The media would still focus on "LSU PAID $15MM to replace its winning coach."

Very bad political move at a very bad time for LSU and Louisiana.

Get over it. ...NOW.....

Don't know that we'll ever know for sure.

A few scenarios in my mind based on some media reports.

1) King squashed the Fisher deal due to political pressure and public perception of spending that much money when LSU is "broke".

2) There never was a search for a new coach (I don't believe this).

3) Fisher backed out. Based on his complicated personal life that is not hard for me to believe.

Jimbo backed out and plan B was not seen as an upgrade by King, so he killed it.

Nobody wants to coach a team that represents your fricked up fan base.

There's no amount of money worth the lunacy of LSU's fan base. Life is too short. I don't know why Les Miles hasn't fled yet, too, but he needs to.

You frickers deserve Derek Dooley or some frickhead with a show cause. Your show cause is that nobody else with a human brain would want to coach in this toxic environment.

The Miles buyout was where it started
- you have to buy out the assistants, buyout Jimbo, sign Jimbo to 6 mil per year. I'm having trouble believing this was ever going to happen.
