Texas A&M Fires Head Coach Jimbo Fisher, Triggers Record $77M Buyout

Potential Replacements Include Duke's Mike Elko, Oregon's Dan Lanning; Boise State, Penn State Also Make Coaching Changes

Texas A&M fired head coach Jimbo Fisher, triggering a $77 million buyout, the largest in college football history. Fisher had a 45-25 record in his six seasons with the Aggies.
Texas A&M's Athletic Director, Ross Bjork, stated that the program was 'stuck in neutral' and not reaching its full potential, leading to the decision to fire Fisher.
Potential candidates to replace Fisher include Duke's Mike Elko, Oregon's Dan Lanning, UTSA's Jeff Traylor, and Ole Miss's Lane Kiffin.
Boise State also fired its head coach, Andy Avalos, after nearly three full seasons. Avalos' firing breaks a streak where the previous five Boise State coaches left for Power 5 jobs.
Penn State fired offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich after another disappointing offensive performance in a 24-15 loss to Michigan.
