Florida State's Jimbo Fisher Bolts For Texas A&M At $7.5 Million

COLLEGE STATION, TX — Texas A&M has reportedly agreed to a 10-year contract with Jimbo Fisher to become the next football coach in Aggieland. Fisher, who was an accomplished SEC offensive coordinator at LSU before moving to the same same position at Florida State and becoming the heir apparent to the legendary Bobby Bowden, has agreed to a multi-year contract that'll pay him handsomely.

According to Bryan's KBTX, Fisher will arrive in College Station's Easterwood Airport on Sunday, with acknowledgment going to the TV station's unspecified sources.

The deal will be worth a reported $7.5 million per year. Reports have also indicated Fisher will not coach in Florida State's Saturday game against Louisiana-Monroe, which was originally scheduled for Sept. 9 but postponed because of Hurricane Irma.

Fisher was making $5.7 million on an extension he signed in December 2016. Only the last two national championship coaches — Alabama's Nick Saban and Clemson's Dabo Swinney — make more than what Fisher would make in College Station.

Fisher has posted a record of 83 wins and 23 losses at Florida State after taking over for the Bowden in 2010. He won the 2013 national championship with a 34-31 win over Auburn in the 2014 Rose Bowl. Florida State won three ACC titles under Fisher, is 5-2 in bowl games and the Seminoles have gone to a record 35-straight bowl games, but that record is in jeopardy as FSU is 5-6 this season and needs a win over Louisiana-Monroe on Saturday to keep the streak alive. His teams have been ranked in the AP polls every year until this year's early-season collapse.
