    I think Jimbo will have several opportunities this year. He's been approached and has hired an agent to deal with it.

    But, State knows its coach is gone and will likely be the first offer he hears. I think they can offer a package that would tempt Jimbo.

    Morris Watts has experience, LSU connections, and keeps up with the modern game. He might work out very well with Nick again.

    Who's to say Jimbo wouldn't keep Watts if he went there as HC?

    First sentence is an excellent point. He hired the agent 6 months ago.

    No.

    Fisher shouldn't be the highest paid assistant at LSU, why in the hell would we make him the highest paid assistant in the country? Fisher is expendable, if he is lucky enough to get an offer from any BCS school, he'd be crazy not to take it. Dooley and Muschamp are the stars of this staff.

    Re: No.

    You are joking, right? Fisher is widely acknowledged as the top Tiger assistant and the only HC candidate on the staff.

    Widely acknowledged by who?

    Dooley and Muschamp are the future head coaches on this staff. Someone may take Fisher, but if its Miss. State, then good for LSU because it ensures there current trend of being at the bottom of the SEC West.
    Fisher isn't a bad coach, but he's expendable. No big loss if he leaves, but I doubt he'll get an offer.

    If the stars of the staff are Dooley and Muschamp why are they not coordinators? We must be underutilizing their talents.

    LSU does have the highest paid assistants in the SEC.

    Will Muschamp is the defensive coordinator.

    Mr. Wonderful...have you not watched our offense take off in the last years? I think Fisher is one of three guys on our staff that will be future head coaches...Fisher might be brightest young assistant coaching talent we have
