On Sunday, LSU fired head coach Brian Kelly. The school owes Kelly more than $53 million for his buyout, the second-largest in college football history behind former Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher.

While negotiations are still ongoing between both parties, Kelly's contractual buyout of more than $50 million would be the second largest ever paid to a college football coach -- behind only Jimbo Fisher, who received more than $76 million after being fired by Texas A&M in November 2023.

Jimbo Fisher was paid $77 million to leave Texas A&M in November 2023, setting the record for the largest buyout for a coach in college football history when he was fired during his sixth season with the Aggies. What has Fisher been doing since then? Mainly, getting ready for his coaching comeback.

Despite his windfall from Texas A&M, Jimbo Fisher is hungry for another head coach job. 'I never got into coaching for money. I'm not getting out of it because I've got money.'
