Texas A&M fired head coach Jimbo Fisher Sunday morning, according to multiple reports.
The move ends his tenure with the Aggies after five-plus seasons and a 45-25 record, with the program never quite reaching the heights they were hoping for after inking the former Florida State national title-winning coach to a huge contract.
Jimbo Fisher has been informed that he’s been fired as @AggieFootball head coach, sources tell ESPN. He’s out immediately.

Because of that contract, it’s going to cost Texas A&M a pretty penny to get out of it. To be exact, Fisher’s buyout is for a record $76 million. $76 Ms! To go away!
College football fans couldn’t get over how much Fisher is about to be paid to not coach.
Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher is reportedly out as head coach.
He’s reportedly set to be paid in full $76,000,000.00.
For reference, that’s over $208,000.00….per day.
For doing nothing.

Jimbo Fisher was so bad at his job that he now suffers the indignity of getting $75 million to do nothing.
Fired college football coach is the best job in America.
