LSU Football: Who would replace Ed Orgeron if a change was made in Baton Rouge?
By Zach Ragan
Jimbo Fisher — Texas A&M head coach
Look, you can’t have a list of potential replacements at LSU without including Jimbo Fisher. It would make the list void if Fisher wasn’t on it.
Anytime something happens at LSU, Fisher is going to be mentioned.
That’s because Fisher spent seven years as the offensive coordinator at LSU before leaving for the same job at Florida State in 2007.
Fisher worked for Nick Saban and Les Miles in Baton Rouge. I’d say he knows how things go at LSU as well as anyone.
And he’s a good coach. Fisher has a national championship to his name at Florida State. And he’s done well at Texas A&M. With all the talent that’s in Louisiana, I think Fisher would have the Tigers in the top five on an annual basis.
But would he leave the Aggies for the Tigers?
Probably not. Fisher has turned down LSU before. And he’s getting paid extremely well at Texas A&M.
Though it’s worth noting that Fisher doesn’t owe the Aggies any cash if he leaves the program on his own.
