Former Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher, who, after six seasons, was dismissed before the end of the 2023 campaign, just hours after the Aggies' blowout win over Mississippi State at home. While many, including myself, were shocked by the timing of his firing, the fan base had grown tired of average results, including just two nine-win finishes, which had not been accomplished since the 2020 campaign.
However, nothing compares to the massive $77.5 million buyout that Texas A&M's Athletic Program will be tied to for the next six years, already paying out a large portion since he departed College Station. Fisher has, for the most part, stayed out of the media limelight, but for those who only think of him as the former Aggie head coach, Fisher's eight years leading Florida State included one of the greatest college football seasons after the Seminoles finished 14-0 with a 34-31 National Championship win over Auburn.
Fisher's ACC background and ability to discuss the game on camera led to the news that the West Virginia native has been hired as an analyst with the ACC Network and will join the ACC Huddle program throughout the 2025 college football season. In a statement provided by On3, Fisher is "excited" to be close to the game again after his two-year absence.
'I'm looking forward to joining ACC Network and the Huddle team this season,' Fisher stated. 'I've always had tremendous respect for this conference, and I'm looking forward to breaking down the action each week with such a talented group.'
Fisher will join an ACC Huddle cast made up of Eddie Royal and Eric Mac Lain, along with the show's host, Taylor Tannenbaum. The show will travel to cover LSU vs. Clemson on Saturday, August 30.
