Texas A&M fans are begging their boosters to steal away an SEC rival’s head coach following the biggest shakeup of the college football season so far. Texas A&M bit the bullet and fired Jimbo Fisher in the middle of his sixth season with the program while taking on a buyout upwards of $75 million.
Fisher, who won a national championship as head coach of Florida State before gutting that program, was 45-25 at Texas A&M. The early November firing will give the school an early advantage in looking for replacements to come and coach at a lucrative job in the college world.
Texas A&M has had plenty of success recruiting and sending players to the NFL. One SEC coach who has recently commented about the talented roster, Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin, is drawing a large portion of the Aggie fanbase’s interest Sunday morning.
College football: Texas A&M fans want Lane Kiffin
Kiffin could be an excellent hire for Texas A&M. He’s 92-47 all-time as a head coach and 31-15 at Ole Miss. Ole Miss was ranked in the Top Ten heading into their matchup against Georgia this weekend, which they ultimately lost. But pairing Kiffin with a roster like Texas A&M could make the Aggies playoff contenders.
Or so fans think.
Many Texas A&M fans are begging the school to steal away Kiffin from Ole Miss. That might be an expensive buyout for a program paying $75 million to send Fisher away. Here are the best takes on Aggies fans asking for Kiffin.
