Texas A&M University has dismissed its head football coach, Jimbo Fisher, with a record buyout of $76 million.

Texas A&M University has dismissed its head football coach, Jimbo Fisher, in a move that is expected to cost the school more than $76 million to buy out Fisher's deal. This is nearly triple the highest known coaching contract buyouts at a public school. The decision to fire Fisher was made following the team's recent 51-10 win over Mississippi State, despite the team's 6-4 record. Fisher was 45-25 in six seasons at Texas A&M, and he signed a new 10-year contract with $95 million guaranteed in 2021.

Potential replacements for Fisher include Lane Kiffin, currently coaching the Ole Miss Rebels, Urban Meyer, previously fired by the Jacksonville Jaguars, and Mike Elko, currently coaching the Duke Blue Devils and former defensive coordinator for Texas A&M. Associate head coach Elijah Robinson will serve as the Aggies' interim coach. The university's willingness to invest in their program is demonstrated by the record buyout, the largest for any college athletic coach in history.

In related news, Iowa's offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz will not be retained after this season, marking the end of one of the most unique contracts in college sports.
