Bobby Petrino<\/b> will be Jimbo Fisher’s new offensive coordinator at Texas A&M football after all. ESPN reported Wednesday that Petrino, who had past head coaching stops with Missouri State, Louisville, Arkansas and the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons, will join Fisher’s staff in College Station after perviously accepting the offensive coordinator position at UNLV just weeks ago.<\/p>\n

To nobody’s surprise, national reaction was strong and widespread once the report on Petrino hit the internet. Petrino is a veteran in the coaching industry and owns an overall 137\u201371 college head coaching record between stints at Missouri State, Louisville and Arkansas. But his head coach <\/span>past isn’t without some baggage, notably a motorcycle accident during his time at Arkansas that ultimately preceded his dismissal as Razorbacks head coach in Spring 2012 due to unethical behavior.<\/p>\n

As for Texas A&M, Fisher faced pressure all season to bring in a new mind this offseason to call the offense in 2023 after the unit cratered in 2022. Texas A&M finished the year 5-7 after entering the season ranked in the AP Top 10. Fisher has now indeed handed play-calling duties off, but Petrino isn’t exactly the solution everyone was vouching for.<\/p>\n
