And they always praise Jackie Sherrill who left us on all kinds of probation due to his cheating. Again, "Everyone else was doing it!" But Bobby Petrino sleeping with an intern 10 years ago? Absolutely unforgiveable. Sleeping with the intern probably happens a lot. How he got caught is the part that people find unforgivable… Arkansas fans and players wanted to riot when they fired him. I think A&M is getting a good coach. No one really cares about character when you are winning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one really cares about character when you are winning While not the most tasteful act, I’ve never understood why Arkansas fired him. And I’ve definitely not understood why he never really got another chance in the SEC. I don’t think he’s the splash hire Aggies we’re hoping for, but I think he’s going to be better than I originally thought. My first reaction a month ago was to absolutely hate it. But now after thinking it over I do think he brings a good thing for the team. My only hesitation on him is his age and that makes me question his drive. But his Xs and Os IQ and ability to adapt to his personnel is as good as you’ll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney Posted January 6, 2023 Author Share Posted January 6, 2023 I was underwhelmed by the hire but you can see reasons why it could be a good hire. Ryan Mallett and Lamar Jackson both played QB and had productive seasons in it. Some scuttlebutt that at his age this could be a one year deal to get him to his final big head coaching job. We’ll see. There’s some issues with him that do give you concern to put it mildly. Then again it’s SEC football. Who doesn’t have issues? Joey Freshwater at Ole Miss? Hugh Freeze at Auburn?

While the records aren't impressive in a vacuum, he took them to the playoffs twice when they hadn't been to the playoffs in decades there, if ever.

If he could have been competent longer at Louisville he could probably have had the Auburn job by now lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely unforgiveable. First of all - screw the cheating Astros! It's not just because they cheated or the way they cheated, it has a lot to do with how cocky they were about it when they got caught. The reason I think this hire could be great or horrible is because we're dealing with two Alpha coaches. Petrino hasn't been the big name since he was let go years ago simply because he wasn't coaching on the big stage. Well he's back on the big stage, and I'm not sure them two boys are going to want to share the play calling. When I was a DC, I was fortunate to work for a head coach that would rarely make a statement like "they're getting us in the weakside B gap... what can we do to close that up?" He never told me to call this or that. I'm not sure Jimbo can hold himself to that after having the reins for so many years. I have no doubt that there will be cameras on Petrino and Fisher's faces during games a lot this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirtFalcon Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 (edited) I just don't see Jumbo turning over the offense to Patrino .... it's more of an appeasement hire .... Jumbo will still be calling the offensive shots even if he lets it appear to be his OC pulling the trigger ....

Though from everything I've heard, Jimbo doesn't really have a choice in the matter. If they work together, I think the offense will improve drastically. A&M lost several games this year by 7 or less points. Even a slight improvement wins a lot of those. And it's hard to get much worse than our offense this year lol!

There’s just no logical reason why someone like Petrino takes the job if that’s the case. Petrino will be given full control. If Jimbo wanted a yes man he could have hired a nobody for cheaper and easier to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumbo didn't hire him, A&M hired him .... has anyone heard Jumbo even agree publicly that he needs an OC? .... I haven't heard anything he has said or written that even acknowledges anything about even looking for or needing one .... maybe I have missed it ....
