It’s been three years since Jimbo Fisher was fired as the head coach at Texas A&M, but he is reportedly ready to hop back into the game.
According to John Brice of USA Today Sports, multiple coaches have said that Fisher is ready to return to college football.
“Jimbo Fisher, after working to be in the mix this past coaching cycle at Auburn specifically, is ready for a return to the sideline. Multiple coaches and agents informed USA TODAY Sports of Fisher’s desire to return to the game, noting money (coaching salary) would not be a prohibitive factor for a coach looking to again prove himself,” Brice wrote.
Texas A&M moved on from Fisher after the 2023 season despite a hefty buyout. In August 2024, he landed a job with SiriusXM, although he repeatedly said he would want to return to coaching if the situation was right.
In November, Fisher was named an “intriguing option” for the Auburn Tigers job, although they ended up hiring Alex Golesh, who was recently at Central Florida.
Currently, Jimbo Fisher is a studio analyst for the ACC Network on the show ACC Huddle. In his career as a head coach, he has a 128-48 record in 14 seasons between Florida State and Texas A&M, including an 8-2 record in bowl games.
So, Fisher’s name could be one to watch in the next coaching cycle.
