LSU provides one final measuring stick for Jimbo Fisher’s first year in Aggieland

The fate of Jimbo Fisher’s tenure at Texas A&M was never going to be decided based on what happened in year one. He faced a brutal schedule, with a roster that he did not recruit or develop, with players learning a new scheme under a coach they did not commit to. All the normal rationalizations apply. Not to mention that when you sign a 10-year, fully guaranteed $75 million contract, the massive buyout makes you basically fire-proof for at least four years, if not five or six (or seven or eight).
