-The Times Picayune (the big New Orleans paper) reports that Jimbo Fisher is LSU's top choice and that Les Miles is absolutely done. For our take on this, listen to The Nolecast (below).
Jimbo Fisher checks all the boxes for the LSU job. He spent six years combined in Baton Rouge under Nick Saban and Les Miles. He's worked at a strong power conference school where there was pressure to win. He won a national championship and also made last year's playoff bracket. He's an offensive minded coach, who often clashed with Les Miles' offensive conservatism in their two years together.
