Texas A&M Fires Head Coach Jimbo Fisher Amid Declining Performance
Fisher's Outdated Coaching Style and Recruitment Failures Cited as Key Factors in His Downfall
- Texas A&M fired head coach Jimbo Fisher on November 12, six years into a 10-year contract, due to the program being 'stuck in neutral.'
- Fisher's coaching style, including a stubborn dedication to an outdated offense, was a key factor in his downfall.
- Fisher's handling of quarterbacks and his recruitment strategy were also criticized.
- Despite high expectations and a contract extension in 2021, Fisher's tenure saw the team's performance decline, with the Aggies failing to claim the SEC West or appear in the College Football Playoff.
- Texas A&M is currently 7-4 overall and 4-3 in SEC play, and will play its final game of the year under interim coach Elijah Robinson.
