There are few current coaches that are more polarizing than Jimbo Fisher of the Texas A&M Aggies. 

From his offseason feud last year with Alabama's Nick Saban to the end of his tenure with Florida State, Fisher has become a hot topic in college football. So much so that in Mike Farrell's list of the top five most-hated college football coaches of the past 30 years, he slots in at No. 4.

Perpetually on the hot seat in the eyes of some fans, Fisher is entering his sixth season as the Aggies' coach looking to bounce back from a disappointing 5-7. For some Aggies it is now or never, especially considering the last two recruiting cycles.

Despite drawing the ire of those Aggies who believe he's underachieved so far during his time in College Station, they are far from the only ones with a bone to pick with Fisher.

While Fisher led the Seminoles to a national championship during his time leading the team, there were fans who weren't all too fond of the state in which he left the program upon his departure for College Station. 

Fisher is ahead of USC's Lincoln Riley at No. 5 and behind Urban Meyer, Joe Paterno and Saban himself, who make up spots No. 3-1 on the list. 

There is no way to truly quantify such a subjective list, but it is likely hard to argue that there are as many coaches that draw such a strong disdain from a wide group of fans as Fisher.
