Texas A&M Moves On From Jimbo Fisher

Published|Updated

Jimbo Fisher is at the end of his run at Texas A&M.

The Aggies have dismissed the program's embattled head football coach.

Fisher's dismall was reportedly decided upon following a Thursday Board of Regents meeting. The Aggies are 6-4 and coming off a 51-10 blowout of Mississippi State. However, it wasn't enough to save Jimbo's job. He'll finish his career at Texas A&M 45-25.

Jimbo Fisher is owed a huge buyout.

The good news for Jimbo is that he won't be broke at any point in the near future. Texas A&M owes Fisher a staggering $76 million left on his contract, and every penny is guaranteed.

That's a hell of a lot of money to not do any work. There's nothing better than massive buyouts in college football, and Jimbo has a HUGE one.

Ultimately, Texas A&M's decision to hire Jimbo Fisher will go down as one of the worst hires in recent memory. He came to College Station with a ton of hype after winning a national title at Florida State. However, other than the 2020 season where the Aggies went 9-1 during the COVID year, Texas A&M has been a consistent disappointment. Since the start of the 2022 season, Jimbo and the Aggies are 11-11. That's simply not going to fly when the head coach is earning north of $9 million annually.
