Texas A&M University is going through a shift in its coaching roles. The team fired their HC Jimbo Fisher earlier last week. Since the sacking, the university has been on its toes to hunt a suitable candidate for the vacant position. After Deion Sanders expressed his loyalty to the CU Buffs, the team asked for another potential coach.

This comes in just a couple of days after Oregon’s HC Dan Lanning denied going forth with the coaching position. A&M University proceeded with roping in a former university alumnus and asked him for the services. Now as the alumnus declined the offer, troubles are plenty for the college team.

Lions Dan Campbell denies coaching A&M University HC role

There were strong speculations that NFL Detriot Lions HC Dan Campbell might go ahead with A&M University’s offer. After talks with the backchannel connections that the university was looking for Campbell, the NFL coach has shut down any reports. Campbell has a strong connection with the side as he represented the team for four years.

Ages ago, when Campbell was himself a college player he served his time for four years between 1995-1998. He played a double role of tight end and flanker during his 48-game tenure with the team. Crediting his loyalty, the Texas side reached out, hoping that the Lions HC would take the offer. But it was not meant to be, and the hunt for a head coach continues for the Texans. The now-sacked HC Jimbo Fisher was himself a pioneer when it came to coaching.

Understanding Jimbo Fisher’s legacy with the Texas A&M University

Jimbo Fisher, whose name now comes in the media following his sacking, served his time well. Fisher took the reigns of Texas A&M University for six seasons and has an overall record of 45-25. While there were no personal issues with his coaching style, he was sacked following a series of deliberations.

Fisher was involved in a four-hour-long meeting with the A&M board of regents last Thursday. Despite a thumping victory over Mississippi State, he was fired due to the standards set by the team. Fisher’s legacy can be mapped through the $76 million buyout. This is a huge number given that someone coached a college side.

The future of A&M Texas University lies suspended as they look for a replacement. While for the management, the headache seems to be growing as they’re limited to a few options now with Campbell being the most recent to deny the offer. In such a scenario, the management might be forced to make some tough choices that might hamper their team’s chances going forward.
