Top 10 Jimbo Fisher memes as Texas A&M Aggies fire coach with $77M as contract buyout
It seems all but confirmed that coach Jimbo Fisher will be fired by the Texas A&M Aggies after five years with the school. The Aggies won their Saturday clash with the Mississippi State Bulldogs, 51-10, but the already wobbly season seems to have been enough for the program to pull the plug on the coach.
The Aggies started the season at No. 23 in the AP Poll, but an early season defeat to the Miami Hurricanes changed the course of the season for the Texas school. Currently, Texas A&M has a record of 6-4, which is not good enough for a team with the most talented roster.
The world of college football has been quick to react to the news that the school is set to fire the veteran coach, who joined the Aggies in 2018.

Jimbo Fisher's record with the Texas A&M Aggies
Over almost six seasons, Jimbo Fisher has managed to get a record of 45-25 and a 3-4 bowl record. His best season came in the shortened of 2020 when the Aggies managed to get a record of 9-1.
In his first three seasons, he managed three straight bowl victories: the 2018 Gator Bowl, 2019 Texas Bowl and 2020 Orange Bowl. In 2021, Texas A&M lost the Gator Bowl against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons.
Fisher had been on the hot seat since the 2022 season, which ended with a terrible 5-7 (2-6 Southeastern Conference) record. While the 2023 season has represented a return to the winning ways, it is not enough for a coach who was brought with the expectation that he would carry Texas A&M to a College Football Playoff spot.
