Texas A&M is firing coach Jimbo Fisher.
School officials are expected to inform the coach Sunday morning of his dismissal, sources with knowledge of the decision tell Yahoo Sports, the groundwork of which was laid as early as Thursday.
High-level university officials met earlier this week and were expected to meet again Sunday as they consider a dismissal of Fisher. The set of meetings point toward the imminent decision on Fisher, who has eight years remaining on a contract with a buyout expected to be more than $75 million.
The Texas A&M University Board of Regents met in a more than four-hour executive session on Thursday, a large portion to discuss the future of the coach.
