Jimbo Fisher is well-off following his firing at Texas A&M.
College Station, TX – The Jimbo Fisher era at Texas A&M has officially been put out of its misery. After compiling a 45-25 record in just under six seasons, the university cut ties with the West Virginia native on Sunday afternoon.
The talk of College Football has been Fisher’s inflated buyout as a result of a contract extension received in 2021. However, many have not taken the time to examine the layout of just how his buyout will be paid in the coming years.
According to Front Office Sports, Fisher will be paid an initial $19.4 million in the first 90 days, and then $7.27 million in the coming 120 days.
From them on, Fisher will receive $7.27 million for the next 7 years, all the way up until 2031.

For any Mountaineer fans that have been clamoring for Fisher to find his way to Morgantown, it is hard to fathom that money will be at the forefront of his mind. If he wants to come home, he can come home without making WVU break the bank.
However, there are many dominoes that would have to fall for that to happen.
