Bobby Petrino erases eight months of unnecessary drama with one press conference

COLLEGE STATION – In under 25 minutes at the microphone for Texas A&M’s media day, new offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino put to bed the biggest question mark for the Aggies heading into 2023 – he’ll call the plays and oversee the offense. It only took eight months and an unneeded amount of drama. 

Petrino was hired in January, but he made his media debut in maroon on Sunday afternoon in College Station. Head coach Jimbo Fisher was noncommittal and, at times, annoyed with media questions throughout the spring and through the summer about the direction of the Aggie offense – one he engineered since becoming head coach.
