On Sunday, Nov. 12, Texas A&M fired head coach Jimbo Fisher after six seasons in College Station, finishing with a 45-25 record, including a notably underwhelming 27-21 SEC record. Breaking the news before anyone else, TexAgs’ Billy Liucci announced the decision on Sunday morning, just three days after the Board of Regents met last Thursday.
Taking on the interim role for the remainder of the 2023 season, associate head coach/defensive line coach Elijah Robinson, who has more than earned a shot at the position, should be considered during Texas A&M Athletic Director Ross Bjork’s search as the decision could be made in just over two weeks time.
So far this week, nearly every coach I recently listed as a potential candidate has responded to various members of the press regarding the job, including Oregon head coach Dan Lanning, Washington’s Kalen DeBoer, and Duke head coach Mike Elko, who are all likely near, or at the top of Bjork’s list.
Here is what some of those coaches had to say about the Texas A&M head coaching postion.
