Last week, Sports Illustrated announced that LSU athletic chief Scott Woodward had called Texas A&M mentor Jimbo Fisher to measure his advantage in coming to Baton Rouge prior to going into genuine conversations with Kelly's representative.
In any case, on Wednesday, Action Network's Brett McMurphy added new data to the adventure, detailing that LSU "was ready to offer" Fisher an eight-year, $125 million arrangement worth $13 million every year to join the Tigers.
While athletic chief at Texas A&M, Woodward marked Fisher to a surefire 10-year, $75 million agreement prior to turning into LSU's AD in 2019.
SI as of late detailed that Woodward's objective toward the beginning of the inquiry was to get a "major, demonstrated fish." The school at first set up a rundown of competitors that included Fisher, Kelly, Penn State mentor James Franklin, Michigan State's Mel Tucker, Lincoln Riley and Carolina Panthers mentor Matt Rhule.
LSU wound up marking Kelly to a 10-year, $95 million agreement, making him the country's most generously compensated mentor at a state funded college. The arrangement midpoints between $10 million to $10.5 million per year and incorporates a yearly "life span reward" of $500,000 and another $500,000 for making a bowl game.
