Fisher is expected to receive a $76 million buyout. This is a record amount for a college head coach.
Texas A&M is planning to honor all of Fisher’s contract, sources told ESPN. The university beat Mississippi State 51-10 on Saturday.
Fisher is 45-25 after spending six seasons with Texas A&M. He signed a 10-year contract in 2021 that guaranteed him $95 million, ESPN wrote. This deal was agreed on two years ago partially because there was the possibility Fisher could leave for Louisiana State University.
Texas A&M has not won the SEC West or played in the College Football Playoff with Fisher as head coach.
