We effectively locked down Aranda and put a guy in charge who brings the personality and experience that Aranda doesn't have at this time. The more I think about it, the more I like it.
Not what I heard... They had serious wood for Jimbo and courted him for months. Herman was an afterthought they could have locked down before the Strong exodus given Jimbo was fkn unobtanium.
Us Cajuns normally have the kind of sense sorely lacking in society these days and a lot of times on this site, COMMON SENSE.
Ross Dellenger article - - "LSU decision-makers used Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher’s talked-about candidacy as a ruse to quietly negotiate with Herman and stay ahead of the University of Texas in the chase for the 41-year-old hotshot, but the potential deal fizzled after reports on Thursday night exposed a plan the Tigers had kept shrouded for days." Seems to me if they were concerned about a bidding war with Texas over Herman they sure would gag on the price for Fisher including the buyout.
