Eight Coaching Candidates Poised to Be Texas A&M's Next Head Coach | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats

One of the most expensive firings in the history of sports has been made official. Texas A&M officially parted ways with Jimbo Fisher on Saturday, ending a relationship that became increasingly volatile (and unsuccessful) in recent years.

In doing so, the Aggies will pay Fisher a reported $76.8 million in the years to come. With ample resources available, the school—along with the boosters influencing behind the scenes—felt the financial hit was worth it.

Now, a fascinating job has opened up. With a roster full of former blue-chip prospects, the interest in the vacancy could be significant. And despite the mighty sum A&M will pay its former coach, there will still be plenty of money to go around.
