Bjork, the Texas A&M athletic director, reported that Jimbo Fisher would be fired in his fifth year with the Aggies, following the program's being "stuck in neutral." Fisher was fired less than 24 hours after a convincing 51-10 victory over Mississippi State less than 24 hours later. The victory lifted their record to 6-4, but according to Bjork, Fisher's firing started shortly after the Aggies lost to Ole Miss on November 4. After the game, Bjork demanded to speak with Texas A&M president Gen. Mark Welsh. We're not reaching our full potential,' Bjork said on Sunday.' We are not in the championship discussion, and something isn't quite right about our direction and the scheme.'
