PFT reports, "The story of Dolphins TE coach Dooley interviewing for Louisiana Tech is just a cover. Our sources say Nick Saban cherishes this position and will sign with them by tomorrow."
LSU offensive coordinator Jimbo Fisher is also being mentioned for the position at La. Tech. Fisher would be a much bigger and more expensive name that La. Tech president Dan Reneau has been looking for, but more is pointing to Dooley now.
According to the News Star in Monroe, Louisiana, "during Fisher's meeting Thursday night in Baton Rouge with a Tech representative, it became obvious Fisher is also eyeing other jobs (FSU's OC position). The vibe was a bit unsettling."
Apparently Dooley's presentation was very impressive with "one person with knowledge of the meeting describing his presentation as stunning.''
Saban may want Dooley to stay, but money talks. Louisiana Tech paid their former coach, Jack Bicknell only in the $200,000 range, "but the school and its fund-raising arms are ready to put together a salary package in the neighborhood of $600,000, according to Wiley Hilburn, who is the head of Tech's journalism department and a member of its athletic council."
$600,000 > More than Fins give Dooley
