Fisher will be owed the rest of his $76 million remaining on his contract. According to his contract, he will be owed over $19 million over the next 60 days and the remainder of his contract annually through 2031.
“After very careful analysis of all the components related to Texas A&M football, I recommended to President [Mark] Welsh and then Chancellor [John] Sharp that a change in the leadership of the program was necessary in order for Aggie football to reach our full potential and they accepted my decision,” Texas A&M athletic director Ross Bjork said in a statement. “We appreciate Coach Fisher’s time here at Texas A&M and we wish him the best in his future endeavors.”
The Aggies are coming off a 51-10 win over Mississippi State, but the program is currently 6-4 after high expectations entering 2023. Texas A&M has Abilene Christian on its schedule next week before closing the season on the road at LSU.
He signed his 10-year contract in 2021, but went 19-15 in the three seasons since. In six years, he finished 45-25 with three bowl appearances (they will also be bowl-eligible this year). Fisher is 128-48 all-time as a head coach, but has recently lost the “quarterback whisperer” label he had at Florida State.
This is a breaking news story. Stay tuned for updates.
