Florida State Seminoles coach Jimbo Fisher has resigned and will be named the new coach at Texas A&M Aggies, sources told ESPN's Mark Schlabach.

He won't coach in tomorrow's game against Louisiana-Monroe, sources told ESPN.

The 52-year-old Fisher had hoped to wait to announce his decision until after Saturday's regular-season finale against Louisiana Monroe in Tallahassee, Florida, which the Seminoles (5-6, 3-5 ACC) need to win to extend their streak of 35 consecutive bowl games. That game was postponed from Sept. 9 and rescheduled to this coming weekend because of Hurricane Irma.

ESPN reported last week that several Florida State officials expected Fisher to leave and have been preparing to target his replacement.
