Jimbo Fisher and the Texas A&M program are mourning the loss of a beloved figure on Friday with the team confirming defensive ends coach Terry Price has passed away.

Price — a former player for the Aggies during the 1980s — returned to Texas A&M under Kevin Sumlin in 2012. Fisher kept Price on staff after taking over for the Aggies in 2018.

“Terry was not only a great Aggie, football coach and recruiter, he was an even better husband, father and man,” said Fisher via the team’s press release. “The impact he had on this program and his players is immeasurable. Our football family has suffered an incredible loss. We will continue to hold Kenya and the boys in our thoughts and prayers.”

According to the Aggies, Price was known as “TP” around the program and was born in Atlanta, Georgia on April 5, 1968. He was a 4-year letterman from 1986-89.

After a brief NFL career, Price returned to Texas A&M as an assistant from 1992-93. Price went on to coach at Western Kentucky before time on SEC coaching staffs at Ole Miss (twice) and Auburn before eventually returning to Texas A&M.

Price has been praised as a “developer of young men” and helped coach Myles Garrett, Justin Madubuike and DeMarvin Leal with the Aggies. He was also known as a cook with “legendary” barbecuing skills.
