BATON ROUGE, La. – Baton Rouge might not be one of the first places reporters run to for reaction to the news of Texas A&M hiring Jimbo Fisher. They should, though, because the meltdown will be epic.
College football fans know the story. LSU flirted with Fisher – a former LSU offensive coordinator under Nick Saban – in each of the past two seasons. After Joe Alleva failed to get a deal done with Fisher at the end of the 2015 season, he retained Les Miles, only to fire him four games into the 2016 season.
