Jimbo Fisher reiterated that he plans to stay at Florida State for a “long time.”

The head coach’s name has been brought up by national pundits as a good fit for LSU, which fired Les Miles this past weekend. LSU reportedly had strong interest in Fisher last year, but opted to not make a coaching move.

Now that Miles is gone, Fisher -- a former offensive coordinator at LSU from 2000-06 -- will likely be mentioned regularly until the position is filled. Fisher was asked about rumors and his status with FSU during the ACC coaches teleconference on Wednesday.

“I love this university, I plan on being here a long time,” Fisher said. “I love Florida State and that’s all I’m saying. I’ll talk about myself and Florida State. Anything else is clutter and doesn’t concern me, it doesn’t involve me.”

Fisher was also asked about the LSU opening earlier in the week and responded with “I’m not talking about LSU”, prompting some columnists to be suspicious of the short response.

FSU’s coach has been tied to other job opening in recent seasons, and his stance has typically been that he will not comment on the position. However, he has often been cautious to not rule out any possibility upon seeing the flack his former protege Nick Saban received after he denied interest in the Alabama opening while still being the coach of the Miami Dolphins.

This isn't the first time Fisher has stated his intention is to stay at FSU for the foreseeable future. However, Wednesday’s comments, while more forceful, are unlikely to stop media members from asking Fisher questions about his interest in LSU or other positions that open.
