The Jimbo Fisher era in College Station will be a costly mistake for Texas A&M.

TAMU is has officially fired its head football coach; TexAgs.com’s Billy Liucci was the first to report on Fisher’s departure.

Texas A&M’s Board of Regents reportedly decided to part ways with Fisher during a meeting on Thursday but is only taking action on it Sunday.

The buyout on Fisher’s contract is worth at least $75 million and could be as much as $76.8 million — more than 15 programs paid in buyouts combined last year — but the transaction will likely be even more expensive for the university.
