Jimbo Fisher is the new head coach at Texas A&M.
The Aggies are going to pay Fisher $75 million over the next 10 years.
Here are details from ESPN:
Sources told ESPN that Texas A&M officials have approved a 10-year, $75 million fully guaranteed contract for Fisher, which is the richest deal in college football history in terms of total value. He’ll be the second highest-paid coach in the FBS with an average salary of $7.5 million, which ranks behind only Alabama’s Nick Saban.
Fisher had signed an extension through 2024 with Florida State in December 2016 that gave him a base salary of $5.5 million. Fisher’s buyout from Florida State is the sum remaining on the contracts of his assistants who are not retained, which would be in the range of $5 million to $7 million.
The Aggies will pay Fisher more than double what they paid former coach Kevin Sumlin, who made $35.5 million over six years, including his buyout.
