The Texas A&M Aggies had defeated the Mississippi State Bulldogs 51-10 in their week 11 clash on Saturday. But on the same day, the Alabama Crimson Tide won the SEC West title to officially close the door for both the teams as far as a place in the conference title game is concerned. So both the teams decided to clean the slate even before the season is over.
Jimbo Fisher and Zach Arnett coaching records
Jimbo Fisher joined the Aggies in 2018, years after leading Florida State to a national championship title. He had a good record with the Aggies but couldn't replicate his success he had with FSU. Fisher won 45 games during his stint from 2018 to 2023 and lost 25 games. Out of the 25 losses, 21 came against conference rivals.
Zach Arnett on the other hand was in his first full year as a head coach of any team. He had spent three seasons as the defensive coordinator of the Bulldogs but being an HC is totally different. And he helmed just 11 games in total, winning five of them.
