Coaching Carousel Keeps Spinning as Jimbo Fisher, Zach Arnett Fired

Impact of firings on Alabama-Texas A&M rivalry

Texas A&M has emerged as a recruiting rival to Alabama over the last five years. The Aggies' recent success has been largely due to the efforts of head coach Jimbo Fisher. However, Fisher was fired on Sunday after a disappointing 5-7 season.

Mississippi State also fires head coach

In a related move, Mississippi State fired head coach Zach Arnett on Monday. Arnett was in his first season as head coach of the Bulldogs. Mississippi State finished the season with a 5-7 record.

The firings of Fisher and Arnett are sure to have a significant impact on the SEC West division. Alabama is now the clear favorite to win the division, while Texas A&M and Mississippi State will need to find new coaches to lead their programs.
