Report: Texas A&M to hire Bobby Petrino as offensive coordinator

Jimbo Fisher is close to signing a new play caller for his Texas A&M Aggies, at least according to reports from ESPN. Bobby Petrino, who took the offensive coordinator job at UNLV earlier this offseason, is close to signing a deal to the Aggies’ newest play caller. Fisher, who has called plays for decades, fired offensive coordinator and quarterback coach Darrell Dicky after the completion of a 5-7 2023. 

The Aggies were atrocious on offense in 2023. They averaged 22 points per game, which was good for 97th in the nation. They ranked 96th nationally in yards per game and 103rd in third down conversion percentage. The 6.3 yards per passing attempt was 110th in the entire FBS. Something needed to change, but not everyone was convinced that Fisher would relinquish play calling duties.
