Jimbo: No interest

When LSU Athletic Director Scott Woodward held the same job at Texas A&M, he lured Jimbo Fisher from Florida State after the 2016 season to be the Aggies’ coach.

Considering Fisher doesn’t have to pay a buyout if he leaves Texas A&M, it’s understandable to wonder if he’d be interested in a reunion at LSU with Woodard, who has fired Ed Orgeron as the Tigers’ coach effective the end of the season.

But Fisher stressed at his Monday news conference that he has no interest in the LSU job and wants to be at Texas A&M.

“I love being here,” Fisher said. “This is the job I want. I’ve got a great contract. I have an unbelievable chancellor. I have an unbelievable president. I have an unbelievable athletic director.

“We’re building something, we’re recruiting great players. I really believe we’re in the process of building something great. I plan on being here and fulfilling this contract and doing everything I can.

‘My family has roots here. I got ranches here, I hunt here. I love everything about the place.”

Fisher signed a 10-year, $75-million contract when he came to Texas A&M, but earlier this fall he received an extension through the 2031 season that will increase his pay to $9 million on Jan. 1 and $9.15 million on Jan. 1, 2023 with a $100,000 raise annually the next eight years.
