So what if Texas A&M football coach Jimbo Fisher's buyout is a whopper? Aggies have spent recklessly from the start. Why would they change now?, writes btoppmeyer
Texas A&M fired Sumlin after six consecutive winning seasons, and impatience in college football has grown since then. Fisher’s unranked Aggies are a disappointing 3-2 in his fifth season.
The Aggies made history with their 10-year, $75 million deal to pluck Fisher from Florida State in 2017 after firing Sumlin, who went 7-5 in his final season. Fisher’s contract also included no duty to mitigate the buyout with future employment – many schools include mitigation clauses to defray financial damages – meaning he’ll pocket the full buyout he’s owed, if he’s fired.
Then, wooed by Fisher’s 9-1 record in the 2020 pandemic season, enticed by recruiting momentum and perhaps worried other suitors may come calling, A&M did what many universities do when super agent Jimmy Sexton extends his hand. Thirteen months after A&M announced that extension, the shine is off Fisher. He peacocked throughout the offseason and, Alabama’s Nick Saban, but his team has been unmasked as a fraud.
