Coaching rumors: Texas A&M has interest in hiring FSU's Jimbo Fisher
All signs are pointing toward the end of the Kevin Sumlin era in College Station after six years in charge of the Texas A&M football program.
The big question is who will the Aggies go after to help turn them into SEC contenders. According to one writer, A&M might be going after a coach with a national championship under his belt.
Speaking on The Paul Finebaum Show, Houston Chronicle staff writer Brent Zwerneman said the people in charge at Texas A&M are interested in bringing in Florida State’s Jimbo Fisher.
It would seemingly be a home-run hire for the Aggies despite the down season the Seminoles are having under Fisher. As coach at Florida State since 2010, Fisher has run up a record of 81-22, three ACC titles, and the 2013 BCS National Championship.
Fisher has experience coaching in the SEC. From 1993-98, he served as quarterbacks coach at Auburn. He worked as offensive coordinator at LSU from 2000-06.
