Texas A&M set to fire Jimbo Fisher? Sixth-year coach would be owed more than $75 million in buyout (www.cbssports.com)

EDIT: Baffling journalism professors everywhere, the headline asked a question that could be answered "Yes." Aggies pulled the trigger.

Just happy that at least one fanbase believes they have it worse than mine. I do have to wonder if the 51 points yesterday changes anything, or if that was an undercover "interim bump".

Oh snap, this moved fast. Clicked on the article and the headline has been updated to:

Texas A&M fires Jimbo Fisher: Sixth-year coach owed more than $75 million in record college football buyout

From the article:

"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," said athletic director Ross Bjork in a statement. "We appreciate Coach Fisher's time here at Texas A&M and we wish him the best in his future endeavors."

Aggies associate head coach Elijah Robinson will serve as the team's interim coach for the remainder of the season.

Something tells me they don't really "appreciate Coach Fisher's time here at Texas A&M"

Don’t worry Aggie bros, you will always have the 20-- National Championship. No one can take that away from you.

I wish they had left the head football coach's name blank, that way they could just keep giving it to each new hire and the joke could continue.

Bold of you to assume Texas A&M will win a natty in the next 76 years.
