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.

CINCINNATI -- Asked how surprising it was to see his team get run over so completely, Bengals coach Marvin Lewis answered with a question.You want the press conference answer or the honest answer? Lewis said. Told that honesty was preferred, Lewis responded, Cant give that one.His hesitance said it all. A 28-14 loss in Dallas that was essentially over early in the third quarter left the Bengals (2-3) in a very uncomfortable spot. They played their worst game in years, and now are off to their worst start since 2010, when they won four games.Up next is a trip to New England (4-1) for Tom Bradys home opener. The Bengals havent won in New England since 1986, losing six straight there, so it seems foreboding.If I watched the way we played yesterday, Id say the same thing, defensive end Carlos Dunlap said.The Bengals spent Monday re-watching the game at Dallas, with no more insight as to why so much went so wrong. The Cowboys (4-1) scored touchdowns on their first three possessions and led 28-0 early in the third quarter before easing up.There was not a lot to be happy about, Lewis said.The biggest issues were on defense. The Bengals knew that Dallas would run right at them, trying to keep rookie quarterback Dak Prescott out of stressful situations. The Cowboys did whatever they wanted to do, with Ezekiel Elliott running for 134 yards on only 15 carries -- his 60-yard touchdown run put the game away early in the third quarter.Prescott threw for a touchdown and ran for another. The Cowboys piled up 180 yards on the ground, the most allowed by a Bengals defense since Seattle ran for 200 in the fifth game last seasoon.ddddddddddddast season, the Bengals allowed only seven opponents to rush for 100 yards in 17 games; theyve already done it three times in five games.Cincinnati figured the defense would be back in form with linebacker Vontaze Burfict back from his three-game NFL suspension, but everything was out of sorts in Dallas.You cant have games like that, defensive coordinator Paul Guenther said, taking a break from watching video of the Patriots 33-13 win in Cleveland on Sunday.Its just uncharacteristic, and quite honestly I was surprised how the game came out. I give Dallas credit. They beat us up front.The Bengals are at a crossroads. The defending AFC North champions already trail Pittsburgh (4-1) by two games and Baltimore (3-2) by one. The previous time they started 2-4, the Bengals ended up at 4-12.Im motivated from yesterday, Dunlap said. We have a challenge now to get back to playing our way.Game notes Running back Jeremy Hill aggravated a sore left shoulder on Sunday and was limited to four carries for 12 yards. Hill said on Monday that the injury isnt serious and he expects to be available to play in New England. ... Burfict was on the field for 44 of the defenses 57 plays. Guenther said its part of the progression of getting the linebacker back to full form after missing the first three games. In his first game back against the Dolphins, Burfict was on the field for 34 of the 45 plays.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
