Texas A&M is expected to fire football coach Jimbo Fisher on Sunday morning, sources confirmed to ESPN.

The steps toward removing Fisher began in a Texas A&M board of regents meeting Thursday, according to sources. A four-hour discussion about Fisher's future led to the imminent decision.

Fisher will be owed $76 million upon his firing, according to sources, which is a record amount for a buyout paid to a head coach.
