Jimbo Fisher's record at Texas A&M
Jimbo Fisher will end his six seasons as the head coach of the Aggies with a 45-25 overall record and 27-21 in conference play. His impressive 83-23 record over eight years at Florida State deemed him fit for the job. However, he hasn't lived up to the expectations.
His first season at Texas A&M saw him finish with a 9-4 record and a victory in the Gator Bowl. The Aggies finished the season at No. 16 on the AP Poll. The Aggies couldn't do better in Fisher's second season as they finished 8-5, securing a victory in the Texas Bowl as an unranked team.
The most impressive season of Fisher was when Texas A&M ended the season with a 9-1 record in 2020. The Aggies won the Orange Bowl and finished the season at No. 4 on the AP Poll. The 2021 season ended with an 8-4 record, but Texas A&M pulled out of the Gator Bowl.
Fisher recorded his first losing season at Texas A&M in 2022 when the Aggies ended with a 5-7 record. Despite the impressive start, the team holds a 6-4 record in the 2023 college football season with a 4-3 record in the SEC. The Aggies have notably secured bowl eligibility.
Jimbo Fisher's championships at Texas A&M
While Jimbo Fisher won the national title and three conference championships at Florida State, he couldn't win any championship at Texas A&M. He also won no divisional title, and the Aggies struggled to compete against Alabama and LSU in the SEC West.
Fisher, however, won all three bowl games he played at Texas A&M. He notably secured eligibility in four seasons, but the Aggies pulled out of the Gator Bowl in 2021. He was brought in to make Texas A&M a top-notch contender in college football, but that didn't happen.
