Jimbo Fisher to LSU rumors growing

The TAF is reportedly eyeing elite coaches such as Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney, TCU head coach Gary Patterson, Florida State head coach Jimbo Fisher and current ESPN Monday Night Football analyst and former Super Bowl winning head coach Jon Gruden. LSU hadn't lost three games in succession since 1999. "I think you've gotten spoiled down there in Cajun country", Fox Sports' Colin Cowherd said. If LSU does enter the reality of pursuing a new coach, then Fisher does make some sense for the program if they can lure him away from Florida State.

Poor showings in recent games appear to be the main factor for LSU athletic director Joe Alleva and his athletic board. "I have a policy: I don't speak about jobs, that's unfair to the players that are there, the players that are here and the coaches here and there". Miles addressed players about his job in their weekly team meeting in the LSU football operations building.

Multiple national reports surfaced Monday confirming what The Advocate reported last week: that Miles' job is in jeopardy and that his $15 million buyout isn't an issue.

One thing LSU officials need to keep in mind: It's far more hard to lure a high-end head coach like Fisher than it was 10 years ago.

LSU hosts Texas A&M; on Friday in the final game of the 2015 regular season. "That's the only way I know how to do it". The Tigers won the BCS title in 2007 over Ohio State.

It sounds insane, but the Mad Matter, Les Miles, may really be on the hot seat at LSU. Miles has said he never wanted Chavis to leave but has not talked to him this season. Rumors like these surrounding losing streaks in major college football programs are common, but the idea of LSU dropping Les is completely insane. He didn't offer an update on junior receiver Travin Dural; CBS reported he suffered a hamstring injury in the first quarter of Saturday's 38-17 loss to Ole Miss. Both of his children were born in Baton Rouge.

Denham Springs, La., three-star defensive end Caleb Roddy said he plans to stick with LSU regardless of the coaching situation.

It wasn't until the postgame press conference that Alabama's Nick Saban could explain why he was roaming the sidelines with a prominent cut and bruise on his left cheek.

Ultimately, Fisher convinced the right people to see his vision, more boosters started opening their checkbooks, and Florida State no longer was a program getting by on the cheap. Two are now in college with one in high school and one in grade school. "We know that Coach Miles is the man", Clapp said.
