TL;DR Summary

Texas A&M athletic director Ross Bjork fired football coach Jimbo Fisher, stating that the program was "stuck in neutral" and not reaching its full potential. Despite early success, Fisher's tenure saw a decline in performance, with a 19-15 record over the past three seasons and no appearances in the SEC championship game. The decision to fire Fisher was made after a board of regents meeting, and defensive line coach Elijah Robinson will serve as the interim coach. The buyout of Fisher's contract is expected to cost the school over $76 million, which will be covered by the athletic department and the 12th Man Foundation. Bjork is now focused on finding a new coach who can lead the Aggies to championship contention.
