Former LSU QB Matt Flynn knows about the trickery of Nick Saban and Jimbo Fisher: report

Former LSU quarterback Matt Flynn has a unique vantage point of the budding coaching rivalry between Alabama's Nick Saban and Texas A&M hire Jimbo Fisher.

Flynn knows both coaches will do anything it takes to win, such as the art of deception.

When Fisher was Saban's offense coordinator at LSU from 2000-05 (Saban left at the end of '05 to coach the Miami Dolphins, Fisher stayed for Les Miles' first season in 2006), he had Flynn as redshirt freshman in 2003 wear a fake headset.

The Tigers won the BCS national championship that season, their first national title since 1958.
