A&M just made Jimbo the highest paid coach in college football.

Categorically False. Either 3 or 4 if you look at salaries of Saban, Sweeney, Harbaugh..

His only "wow" year was when Winston was slinging touchdowns and crab legs.

He had 22 NFL players in his starting 22 on his Championship Team.

No. Reports are he wanted 6.5-6.75 per for 10 years and Alleva was apoplectic.

Here is your answer fro the Advocate:

"This is how we believe the Fisher situation went down with LSU: Alleva wanted to hire him in 2015 but was blocked by Alexander, who didn’t want to beg the state legislature for funding while LSU paid Miles millions not to coach. In 2016, LSU made Tom Herman its top choice, but his top choice was Texas. LSU would likely have had to offer Fisher what he’s going to get at Texas A&M — $75 million for 10 years — but was unwilling to do it.

You can say LSU should have fired Miles in 2015, but it’s still no guarantee Fisher would have come. The situation there hadn’t soured for Jimbo to the point that it has now. And frankly, I don’t blame LSU for not wanting to cave to Jimmy Sexton’s (Fisher’s agent) ransom note. Texas A&M is desperate. LSU is not. Woodward took the risk LSU wasn’t willing to take, for better or worse."

Wait so where was I wrong? Besides the 22 NFL players. I read 10 years/ 80 mil. So that isn't all salary? Do coaches get like a signing bonus too that is included in the 80 mil?

I just want to understand and googling gives me conflicting info.

So, it’s Kings fault then?? So, how do we not know that Alleva was handcuffed to pick Orgeron? They knew that LSU could get him cheap.
