As to where Texas A&M will turn,
USA Today reported earlier this month that the Aggies are prepared to pursue
Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher to replace Sumlin, despite Fisher's rather lackluster 4-6 record this season aftter entering ranked No. 3 in the initial AP Top 25.
Whether Fisher is actually interested in moving on from Tallahassee, Florida, remains to be seen. But he does have a relationship with Woodward dating back to Fisher's days as LSU's offensive coordinator, where the two worked together from 2000-04. Fisher was rumored to be interested in the LSU job this time two years ago, when reports surfaced that then-coach Les Miles tenure was scheduled to end shortly after the Texas A&M game. Miles won that game and was retained during the offseason only to be fired one month into the 2016 season. All the while, Fisher remained in Tallahassee.
