Petrino formerly coached at Arkansas and Louisville, and most recently was hired by UNLV on Dec. 15 to run offense. The Aggies’ new offensive coordinator is no stranger to controversies and messy departures.
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Texas A&M is bringing in Bobby Petrino as its next offensive coordinator, according to
Petrino twice won at least 10 games with the Razorbacks, including two New Year’s Six bowl appearances, but he was fired in 2012. He lied about a motorcycle accident involving a female staffer and failed to disclose when she was hired that the two were in an extramarital relationship. A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher, who just finished his fifth season with the Aggies, is used to calling his own plays on offense. According to ESPN, after a disappointing season marred by injuries and off-field issues, Fisher is taking a step back to let an offensive coordinator make the calls.
