Lou Holtz Says Ex-Texas A&M Coach Jimbo Fisher Is His 'Hero'

The Texas A&M Aggies made the decision to fire head coach Jimbo Fisher despite being on the hook for nearly $80 million. And by doing that, they made him a hero to legendary coach Lou Holtz...

"But the $77 million, that’s an awful lot of money. I’ve got Jimbo Fisher’s picture above my bed," he said with a chuckle. "He’s my hero. He loses and gets $77 million to walk away. I never got a cent from any of the six schools where I coached when I left there. So, he is my hero. That’s great work."

"There is nothing at A&M that keeps them from competing for the national championship. They have a beautiful stadium, a great facility and an awful lot of money. They also have a tremendous student body," Holtz said.
