Texas A&M gives Jimbo Fisher national championship plaque
Texas A&M has made it quite clear what the expectations are for Jimbo Fisher.
As if luring Fisher away from Florida State with a 10-year, $75 million contract didn’t already say enough about what the Aggies want from their new head coach, the school system’s chancellor made it clear with a recent gift.
John Sharp, the chancellor for the A&M school system, gave Fisher a plaque celebrating a national championship at a meeting two weeks ago, according to The Bryan-College Station Eagle.
A video shows Fisher receiving the plaque. Sharp gave one to Texas A&M Commerce coach Colby Carthel for winning the D-II national title. The one he gave to Fisher had a blank date for them to fill in.

“The only difference between your’s and Colby’s is you get to fill in the date,” Sharp said.
The $75 million contract is nice, but with that comes great expectations — and a king’s welcome.
