Texas A&M head football coach Jimbo Fisher met with the Brazos County A&M club on Thursday night, and in his time with the group he addressed a wide variety of topics, from recruiting to NIL, and a few of the players on the roster, and his feelings about A&M as a University and the 12th man as a fan base.
“Texas A&M is the best kept secret in the world,” Fisher said, “and it has been, it was for me… When people get here from out of state they’re like ‘I’ve never heard of this.'”
He added “There is no group of people that deserve a (national) championship and an SEC championship than y’all do. Y’all are the most loyal group of people in the world, and y’all deserve that.”
Fisher has been consistent in his praise of A&M as an institution and the 12th man as a fanbase since his arrival in College Station, calling a decision to attend A&M a “forty year decision”.
On some other topics:
Jimbo Fisher on NIL: "It's here to stay, and there is nothing that is going to be done about it for a couple of years."
Fisher calls upon Congress to do something about it: "Player should get something, no doubt, but there should be some kind of regulation."

Jimbo Fisher: "I think D.J. Durkin is a great young coach who you're going to love."
"Steve Addazio is a great offensive line coach… He has done a really good job (at Boston College), and you're going to love what he does."

Jimbo Fisher on Conner Weigman: "People don't realize how good of a baseball player he is."
"If he went in the (MLB) Draft this year, he'd probably go in the second or first round this year. He's going to play both (baseball and football) here."

Jimbo Fisher on Devon Achane: "People think he's too small. Go watch that film. He runs between the tackles now."
Fisher says Achane can play wide receiver.
"I think he has a chance to be a really special player."
