It was reported on Thursday that Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher turned down LSU’s offer to become the Tigers’ next head coach.
On Friday, details emerged on exactly how much money LSU offered to the title-winning Seminoles coach.
NOLA.com reported that the Tigers offered Fisher an annual salary of $6.8 million to come to Baton Rouge.
Fisher’s 2016 salary with Florida State is $5.2 million. Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh is college football’s highest-paid coach, with an annual salary of $7 million. Alabama’s Nick Saban is a close second at $6.9 million a year.
By showing his loyalty to the Seminoles, though, it’s likely Fisher will get a bit of a pay raise before next season.
