Jimbo Fisher Monday Press Conference

‘We have to correct and move on’ Jimbo Fisher looks ahead toward Mississippi State matchup

Hear what Aggies head coach Jimbo Fisher had to say after Texas A&M’s disappointing 38-35 road loss to Ole Miss on Saturday.

After a brutal loss to Ole Miss on Saturday, Jimbo Fisher is looking to turn the page and focus on Mississippi State coming to town for a night game. Texas A&M (5-4, 3-3 SEC) will have an opportunity to wrap up bowl eligibility again this weekend putting them back in a postseason game since the Orange Bowl victory in 2020.

As bad as the loss was to Ole Miss, there were a few positives to take away from the game on Saturday. First, this team has no quit in them and will battle to the very last whistle. Second, the offense as a whole put up a strong second half, which has been a major issue when playing teams with winning records. Last the running game showed a little bit of life (36 carries, 152 yards, 3 TDs) allowing the Aggies to have a more balanced approach throughout the game.

Before practice, Jimbo Fisher sat down to discuss the loss to Ole Miss and what to expect against Mississippi State on Nov.11.

‘We can keep growing in what we do and how we execute.’ Jimbo Fisher previews Texas A&M’s Week 2 road test vs. Miami

Here is everything Texas A&M Head Coach Jimbo Fisher had to say ahead of the Aggie’s week two road test vs. Miami

Texas A&M kicked off their 2023 college football season in exhilarating fashion against New Mexico on Saturday night, downing the visiting Lobo’s 52-10 behind starting quarterback Conner Weigman’s incredibly efficient performance, throwing for 236 yards for 18/23 (78% completion). Five touchdowns without an interception, becoming the first player in Aggie history with five touchdowns in a season opener.

Standing out more than any player on the field, sophomore wide receiver Noah Thomas is on his way to a breakout season, finishing the night with six receptions for 74 yards and three touchdowns. In comparison, star receiver Evan Stewart led the offense with eight receptions for 115 yards and two touchdowns on the night, as new OC Bobby Petrino’s play-calling has been welcomed with open arms as the Aggie’s up-tempo offense with multiple formation looks was truly a sight for sore eyes. On Saturday night, the studs were indeed fed.

Defensively, the Aggies limited the Lobos to 91 yards on the ground and 222 total yards. At the same time, Boston College transfer cornerback Josh DeBerry led the team with ten tackles, seven solo tackles, one sack, and an interception on the night.

On Monday, Head coach Jimbo Fisher spoke to the media to reflect on the Aggies’ 52-10 win over New Mexico while shifting focus to their crucial week two road test vs. Miami on Saturday afternoon.

Here is everything all five players had to say before taking on the Hurricanes on Saturday, Sept. 9, at 2:30 p.m. on ABC.

Initial injury report ahead of Week 8 matchup vs. South Carolina

Who made the early injury report ahead of Texas A&M’s week 8 tilt vs. South Carolina?

Texas A&M’s bye week has officially come to a close, as Aggies head coach Jimbo Fisher opened his annual Monday press conference reflecting on the week off from competition, and the importance of rejuvenation heading into 6 straight weeks of tough SEC opponents and looking to improve on their 3-3 record greatly.

During the presser, Fisher gave a couple of critical updates regarding the team’s early injury report heading into their Saturday night road matchup against South Carolina, as every Texas A&M media member was left without many answers after the team’s Week 6 loss to Alabama due to the bye week.

First off, Fisher declined to comment on any potential season-ending injuries, specifically offensive lineman Jordan Spasojevic-Moko who was seriously injured in Texas A&M’s Week 5 loss to Mississippi State, as he is presumed to be finished for the year after posting on social media that he in fact had surgery.

Next, Fisher was asked about quarterback Haynes King’s health after numerous rumors regarding an injury after the Alabama games began to surface last week, including a notable limp toward the end of the game. In his steadfast cryptic fashion, Fisher stated that King will be “available” for the South Carolina game, meaning that a potential quarterback battle between Haynes King and Freshman Conner Weigman may still be in the works.

Lastly, there was no mention of defensive end Tunmise Adeleye, defensive tackle Shemar Turner, left tackle Trey Zuhn, or any of the other 9 total starters who missed the Alabama game (obviously not counting Ainias Smith’s season-ending injury), yet some great news from freshman cornerback Bobby Taylor surfaced as the talented youngster looks to be fully healed from his ACL tear last spring!

mane, i’m back. God thank you for now and what’s about to happen 🙏🏾.

Monday Press Conference: Jimbo Fisher speaks after Week 1 victory

Texas A&M opened their 2022 season against Sam Houston State at Kyle Field, defeating the Bearkats 31-0 in a game that lasted almost 6 hours due to an extensive weather delay during halftime. On Monday, head coach Jimbo Fisher and a select group of players reflected on the win and answered questions regarding their upcoming Week 2 matchup against the Appalachian State Mountaineers.

The Aggies were one of several SEC teams who pitched a shutout to open their season, showing that even with the departure of former defensive coordinator Mike Elko (now the head coach at Duke University), current defensive coordinator D.J Durkin has seemed to make a smooth transition so far in the role while taking clear advantage of the wide array of talent and experience in the defensive line and defensive back rooms.

On offense, led by starting quarterback Haynes King, the outside calls for more explosive chunk plays in the passing game were answered, as King proceeded to throw 3 touchdowns for 66, 63, and 43 yards, with senior wide receiver Ainias Smith on the receiving end of two of them.

Now, here are some of Jimbo Fisher’s most notable quotes from the day

Monday Press Conference: Everything Jimbo Fisher said ahead of Sam Houston State matchup

It was quite the offseason for Texas A&M, and let me tell ya, it’s going to be a beautiful sight once head coach Jimbo Fisher and his 2022 squad burst onto Kyle Field this Saturday as they take on the Sam Houston State Bearkats to kick off their 2022 season.

As we will see at the start of every week this season, Fisher and a select group of players sat down with the local media to answer questions regarding their upcoming matchup with Sam Houston State, taking on one of the better FCS programs that are only a small step below the likes of North Dakota State, and James Madison University.

Jimbo began the presser noting how excited he is for the players to finally get on the field and show everyone just how much work they’ve put in during the off-season and fall camp, and the importance of having a solid week of practice this week in preparation for Saturday.

Before the questions began, Fisher praised the Bearkat’s sustained success in recent years, noting that they’ve only lost two games in two seasons, while winning the FCS Title in 2020, adding that the team shouldn’t overlook the men from Huntsville, Texas by any means.

Now, here is the rest of what Jimbo Fisher had to say during Monday’s press conference.
