Texas A&M Football: 5 reasons Jimbo Fisher isn’t coming to College Station

3. He’s already turned down other, more lucrative, offers

This isn’t the first time Jimbo Fisher has been involved with coaching rumors. He is usually a hot target for top programs looking for a head coach, and the most recent example is with LSU.

Last year, the Tigers were looking to replace Les Miles and interim head coach Ed Orgeron, reportedly offering Fisher a $1.5 million annual raise from what Florida State’s deal is worth. If Fisher turned down an offer to coach a program in the SEC that didn’t require as much of a revamping as Texas A&M, there’s likely no way he’d truly consider the Aggies.

That would make for an interesting storyline in the SEC and likely make Texas A&M and LSU bigger rivals, but it just doesn’t seem that likely. LSU is a top-notch job with a solid recruiting pipeline while Texas A&M is able to recruit, too, but doesn’t have the success in recent years to back it up.

Fisher turned that offer down just a year ago, is there truly any way he was “waiting” for the Texas A&M job to open up? Probably not.
