Texas A&M is reportedly taking steps to make sure head football coach Jimbo Fisher stays put for the foreseeable future.
According to Brent Zwerneman of the Houston Chronicle, the SEC school will add three years to his contract and pay him approximately $9 million annually. He had seven years remaining and was set to make $7.5 million annually prior to this three-year extension.
Zwerneman noted Texas A&M's regents are expected to approve the new contract "easily," which will put Fisher behind only Alabama's Nick Saban ($10.6 million annually through the 2028 campaign) in yearly pay among college football coaches.
