Aggies Jimbo Fisher Lands in Top 20 of PFF's Best College Football Coaches

Even with the disappointing 5-7 2022 season, Jimbo Fisher is still considered one of the top coaches in college football.

Whether you love him or you hate him, it is hard to deny the success that Jimbo Fisher has seen as a coach. 

Even though he hasn't led the Texas A&M Aggies to a conference or national championship yet, they've produced eight-win seasons in four of his five years in College Station.

While the one season without eight wins came in 2022, which saw the Aggies finish a disappointing 5-7, Pro Football Focus still listed Fisher in the top 20 of their top 25 college football coaches rankings.

17. Jimbo Fisher - Texas A&M Aggies

"After a successful tenure at Florida State that included a national championship in 2013, Fisher left to become Texas A&M’s head coach in 2017.

His first four years in College Station were mostly successful, finishing fourth in the AP poll in 2020. The Aggies also brought in arguably the greatest recruiting class ever in 2022 with eight five-star recruits. Expectations were high for the Aggies heading into 2022, as they were ranked sixth in the preseason poll. However, Texas A&M was a massive disappointment, as it missed a bowl game this past season.

This season will be a major prove-it year for Fisher, but he has the track record and a talented roster to be optimistic about a bounceback." 

Yes, the 2022 season was one the Aggies want to forget ever happened and bounce back from this season. Working in their favor towards that goal is how consistent of a winner Fisher has been both at Florida State and now at Texas A&M. 

In his 13 years as a head coach between the two programs he has recorded less than eight wins in a season just twice - last season when the Aggies went 5-7 and 2017 when Florida State went 5-6 in his final 11 games with the program.

Fisher's track record of consistently putting together winning teams, as well as a national championship with Florida State, show he has the capability of being a winning coach. 

Now, all he has to do is get back on track and show that 5-7 was a one-off and not the new norm.
