LSU focuses in on Tom Herman, leaving Jimbo Fisher at FSU

in Sports/Top Headlines by

FSU fans, evidently, have something to give thanks over.

It appears that Jimbo Fisher isn’t going anywhere.

If you believe internet reports, LSU seems to have turned its attention to Houston Coach Tom Herman. ESPN reported that the school could sign Herman to a new contract by Saturday.

Fisher had been reported in several locations, especially those out of New Orleans, in saying that he was the No. 1 target of LSU. Reports said Fisher was seeking a $7 million a year contract.

Over the last few days, however, the school’s focus seemed to shift to Herman, who met with school administrators on Thursday afternoon. Herman had also been connected by online reports to the Texas job.

Herman is 20-3 over the last two seasons.
