Texas A&M is expected to fire football coach Jimbo Fisher on Sunday morning, sources confirmed to ESPN.
The steps toward removing Fisher began in a Texas A&M Board of Regents meeting on Thursday, according to sources. A four-hour discussion of Fisher’s future led to the imminent decision.
Fisher will be owed $76 million upon his firing, according to sources, which is a record amount of a buyout paid to a head coach. That number is more than double the known buyout paid to a fired college head coach.
