BATON ROUGE — LSU offensive coordinator Jimbo Fisher has withdrawn his name from consideration for the head coaching position at Mississippi State, he announced on Thursday.
Fisher informed Mississippi State athletic director Larry Templeton of his decision on Thursday morning. Fisher was scheduled to interview for the Mississippi State head coaching position on Saturday, Nov. 29.
“It’s obviously very flattering to have your name mentioned for a head coaching position in the Southeastern Conference,” Fisher said. “On the other hand, I’m very happy here at LSU and as a result I have decided to pull my name from consideration for the head coaching position at Mississippi State.
“Coach Saban is building something very special here at LSU and I want to continue to be a part of this program.”
