LSU may have made a splash by luring Brian Kelly away from Notre Dame, but it turns out that Kelly wasn't the only candidate for whom the Tigers were willing to offer big money.
Last week, Sports Illustrated reported that LSU athletic director Scott Woodward had called Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher to gauge his interest in coming to Baton Rouge before entering into serious discussions Kelly's agent.
But on Wednesday, Action Network's Brett McMurphy added new information to the saga, reporting that LSU "was prepared to offer" Fisher an eight-year, $125 million deal worth $13 million per year to join the Tigers.
