Texas A&M has officially approved Jimbo Fisher’s new deal.
News broke earlier in the week that the Aggies were expected to give their head football coach a gigantic new contract, and it’s now a done deal. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

According to TexAgs.com, the A&M’s Board of Regents and university President Kathy Banks officially signed off on a new deal Wednesday for Fisher.
The new deal is worth $90 million over the next decade. That makes Fisher the second highest paid coach in America.
The only man making more is Nick Saban.

4) Dabo Swinney $8.3M
5) Dan Mullen $7.6M
6) Kirby Smart $6.9M— Stewart Mandel (@slmandel) September 1, 2021
When news broke about Fisher’s new deal being worked out, I don’t think anyone expected it to fall through, and it’s now a done deal.
He’s the second highest paid coach in all of college football, despite the fact he hasn’t even won a title yet with the Aggies.
The fact they’re making this kind of financial commitment is a sign they’re not playing games. The program is all in on Fisher and where he’s taking them.

If he goes out and actually brings a national title to College Station, then I’m sure there’s a hell of a lot more money than $9 million a year waiting for him!
