Full Story on Fisher Being Fired as Texas A&M Aggies Head Coach

With Jimbo Fisher gone, now is the time for the Aggies to interview top candidates. In fact, the recognizable applicants could be qualified to become the team’s new head coach for the 2024 Season. Texas A&M decided to cut ties with Fisher after six seasons under the helm. At the time of the firing, the football program was 6-4 to start the season (4-3 in SEC conference play).

However, Texas A&M’s play declined with a 7-6 showing in 2022 and is en route to its first losing season since 2009 (4-8). 

Before coming to College Station, he held a similar position with Florida State from 2010 until 2017. With the Seminoles, he led them to three ACC conference championships and a 2013 national title.
