Analyzing the 2023 Schedule: Texas A&M Aggies

Texas A&M captured an unenviable crown posting the most disappointing season in college football in 2022, free falling from the preseason No.6 ranking to a six-game losing streak and 5–7 record. The losses didn’t end on the field, however, as over 30 players transferred from the program, including a handful from the Aggies’ coveted 2022 recruiting class.

The numbers reveal Jimbo Fisher hasn’t brought Texas A&M more success than Kevin Sumlin, his predecessor, through their respective first five years. Fisher has a worse record, 39–21 compared to 44–21, and missed a bowl game last season, which Sumlin never did. Sumlin was fired at the conclusion of his sixth year, but if Fisher can’t right the ship it’ll cost A&M far more to terminate him at year’s end ($76.8 million, that is). For comparison, Ed Orgeron was owed $16.9 million when he was fired two years after leading a perfect season at LSU.
