College football fans sound off on Jimbo Fisher after Aggies loss to Bulldogs

Jimbo Fisher continues to be in the crosshairs of college football fans across the country.
Just before the 2021 season began, the Texas A&M board of regents voted to give Fisher a 4-year contract extension, keeping him locked up in College Station through 2031 and providing him with a healthy raise. That was after the original 10-year contract he signed when he was hired after leaving Florida State following the 2017 season.
However, the No. 15 Aggies have suffered their 2nd straight loss as they fell to Mississippi State 26-22 at Kyle Field on Saturday. For a program that expects to challenge for national championships, this is yet another disappointing setback for Fisher and his team. A key moment came late in the 4th quarter, as the Bulldogs’ defense got to Zach Calzada for a safety to set the game’s final margin.
The Aggies look to get back on track on Oct. 9 but have a tall task, to say the least, as No. 1 Alabama pays a visit.
Here’s what fans on social media were saying after Texas A&M’s latest defeat:
There’s Jimbo Fisher with Jameis Winston. There’s Jimbo Fisher without Jameis Winston. @UnnecRoughness

Texas A&M should have spent the nearly 100 million dollars they will spend on Jimbo Fisher's contract on ice cream.
At least they could eat the ice cream while looking at their 1939 national championship trophy.

The real winner here is Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher.
He signed an extension for 20-years, 875-million dollars without even winning a game.

I can't wait until USC signs Jimbo Fisher to a contract worth $100 million over the next decade.

Jimbo Fisher – biggest fraud in college football. Would love to be this bad at my job generally speaking for my career and continue to sign deals to make even more money.

Jimbo Fisher is to @AggieFootball as Dan Mullen is to @GatorsFB Overrated and overpaid. Sign him to a lifetime contract Ross!
