TL;DR Summary
Texas A&M fired head coach Jimbo Fisher despite a hefty $76 million contract buyout, and potential replacements are being considered.

Kalen DeBoer, Dan Lanning, and Eli Drinkwitz are also in the mix. However, high buyout costs and program commitments may limit the school's options. Other names mentioned include Lane Kiffin, Mike Norvell, James Franklin, Urban Meyer, and Deion Sanders, although some are unlikely to leave their current positions.
