king about LSU. No I havent [had contact] and Im

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher said he has not had contact with LSU?and his focus is on upcoming opponent North Carolina.LSU fired Les Miles on Sunday, and Fisher is expected to be one of LSUs targets. He was rumored to be a priority target for LSU last season when Miles status was in limbo late in the year.Im not talking about LSU. No I havent [had contact] and Im not talking about it, Fisher said, Were talking about North Carolina.An LSU assistant beginning in 2000 with Nick Saban, Fisher won a national championship as the Tigers offensive coordinator in 2003. When Miles followed Saban in 2005, Fisher remained on staff before leaving to become the offensive coordinator and head-coach-in-waiting at Florida State in 2007.Fisher won a national championship at Florida State in 2013 and has 71-15 career record with three ACC titles. The No. 12 Seminoles are 3-1 this season.As an assistant and head coach, he has tutored four first-round quarterbacks, a position the Tigers struggled to develop under Miles once Fisher left.Fisher, in his seventh season at Florida State, said his focus is on coaching, and he isnt interested in listening to overtures from other schools.Im coaching football, said Fisher, who added he doesnt tell his representation how to handle interest from other schools but not to accept anything, dont talk anything, dont do anything.Houston?coach Tom Herman, also considered an early LSU target, told the Houston Chronicle nobody has contacted me.In addition, when asked about the LSU job by reporters, Louisville?coach Bobby Petrino said he isnt interested going anywhere.Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said on Tuesday that he had not been contacted by LSU. Im going to be the coach at Ohio State, he said.Les is a legend, Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said Tuesday at his news conference. He has helped make the SEC what it is currently. Hes one of those guys.?Hes a great coach. Hes a great person. Hes a guy coming into the SEC that I looked up to. He always treated me great.After several high-profile programs dismissed head and assistant coaches Sunday, Fisher said its a shame college football is getting to that now.I think its the first sign of the [College Football] Playoff, he said. Theyre trying to turn it into pro football. If you start turning it into pro football, you better be careful what you ask for. Are you saying the season is over if a team doesnt go to the playoff? If I cant get in the playoff, a team tanks? You guys write the season is over if a team doesnt go to the playoffs.... Im talking about the big picture of this game. Theres a lot of things we all want, but at the end were not looking at the big picture and how it affects the game itself and the integrity of the game besides winning a championship, which we all want and Im as competitive as any human being out there. But think about the big picture of what you want to do -- not next year but five, 10, 15, 20 years down the road.Alabama coach Nick Saban agreed with Fisher.This is very similar to Georgia firing Mark Richt when he averages 10 wins a season, Saban said. I guess this is the time that we live in. Everybody needs to know that. But it doesnt minimize to any degree the amount of respect that we have for the job that Les Miles did at LSU and the great competitive teams that hes had there for a long, long time and the amount of success that hes had.You look at our league, and weve lost some legends in the last year with Mark Richt, Steve Spurrier, now Les Miles, Malzahn said Tuesday. Its unfortunate. Hes one of the best in the business.ESPNs Andrea Adelson and Greg Ostendorf contributed to this report. Cheap Yeezy Shoes Wholesale . Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006.
