Report: Texas A&M, Jimbo Fisher to part ways

A win over Mississippi State and the possibility of an eight-win season by winning out doesn’t appear enough to save Jimbo Fisher’s job, according to multiple reports. The Aggies improved to 6-4 with a blowout win over the Bulldogs on Saturday night, but a decision to part ways from Fisher might’ve been made earlier in the week at Thursday’s Board of Regents meeting. 

Fisher has eight years on a contract with a buyout close to $75 million dollars. He became head coach at Texas A&M on Dec. 1, 2017 with a 10-year, $75 million dollar contract, which was extended prior to the 2021 season. Fisher is 45-25 10 games into his sixth season in charge. The Aggies experienced a 9-1 record in 2020 but are 19-15 since with a losing record against SEC teams over the last three seasons.
