Texas A&M fired head coach Jimbo Fisher Sunday morning, according to multiple reports.
The move ends his tenure with the Aggies after five-plus seasons and a 45-25 record, with the program never quite reaching the heights they were hoping for after inking the former Florida State national title-winning coach to a huge contract.

Because of that contract, it’s going to cost Texas A&M a pretty penny to get out of it. To be exact, Fisher’s buyout is for a record $76 million. $76 Ms! To go away!
College football fans couldn’t get over how much Fisher is about to be paid to not coach.
