Texas A&M informed Jimbo Fisher on Sunday morning that he has been fired as the Aggies’ coach, sources told ESPN.
Fisher will be paid the remaining $76 million on his deal, according to sources, a record amount for a buyout paid to a head coach. That number is more than double the known buyout paid to a fired college head coach.
The steps toward removing Fisher began in a Texas A&M board of regents meeting Thursday, according to sources. A four-hour discussion about Fisher’s future led to the imminent decision.
