High School star to come through with a scholarship offer and it didn't take long to see why there has been quick buy-in around the 6'4" passer over the last year or so. "It's fun getting out here playing with different people from different parts of the country," Rashada said after his first game with the Miami Immortals squad. The impression was first tangible via his new teammates, particularly wide receivers and tight ends, visually excited after his first few tosses in warm ups.

The Tigers had only "big fish" in mind for the head-coaching position.View the original article to see embedded media.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 with 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. While athletic director at Texas A&M, Woodward signed Fisher to a guaranteed 10-year, $75 million contract before becoming LSU's AD in 2019. SI recently reported that Woodward’s goal at the start of the search was to get a “big, proven fish." The school initially put together a list of candidates that included Fisher, Kelly, Penn State coach James Franklin, Michigan State's Mel Tucker, Lincoln Riley and Carolina Panthers coach Matt Rhule. LSU ended up signing Kelly to a 10-year, $95 million contract, making him the country's highest-paid coach at a public university. The deal averages between $10 million to $10.5 million a year and includes an annual "longevity bonus" of $500,000 and another $500,000 for making a bowl game.
