Texas A&M Terminates Contract of Head Football Coach Jimbo Fisher

College Station, Texas United States of America
Associate head coach Elijah Robinson is expected to serve as the interim coach.
Fisher's contract was extended in 2021, promising him 10 years and $95 million through the 2031 season.
Texas A&M University has reportedly decided to terminate the contract of head football coach Jimbo Fisher.
The buyout figure to fire Fisher is believed to be the largest single buyout paid to a football coach, with estimates ranging between $70-80 million.
The termination of Fisher's contract is expected to be immediate, and he will not coach the remainder of the season.

Texas A&M University has reportedly decided to terminate the contract of head football coach Jimbo Fisher, despite the team's recent 51-10 victory over Mississippi State. The decision was made in light of the Aggies' performance not meeting preseason expectations, with a current season record of 6-4 and two regular season games remaining.

Fisher, who ranks as the eighth-highest-paid coach in college football, was hired by Texas A&M in December 2017 as part of a 10-year, $75 million deal. His contract was extended in 2021, promising him 10 years and $95 million through the 2031 season. However, the team's performance has been disappointing, with 10 losses in the last 15 games against Power 5 opponents.

The termination of Fisher's contract is expected to be immediate, and he will not coach the remainder of the season. The school was paying Fisher roughly $9 million a year in salary. The buyout figure to fire Fisher is believed to be the largest single buyout paid to a football coach, with estimates ranging between $70-80 million.

Associate head coach Elijah Robinson is expected to serve as the interim coach. Since winning the Orange Bowl and finishing No. 4 in The Associated Press poll in 2020, Texas A&M has gone 19-15.
