Apologies if it took a few days to digest, but that’s the reality when dealing with a Texas A&M football “crisis” beginning to unfold. If Jimbo Fisher’s recent comments are to be taken verbatim, are we in the midst of tension brewing over in College Station?
Let’s quickly unpack the situation.
The Aggies’ head coach sent some shockwaves through the Twittersphere after speaking to the media about who would call plays for the 2023 season. Naturally, after hiring Bobby Petrino as offensive coordinator, it would make sense for him to be the one calling plays, right?
Well, it resulted in another classic Jimbo press conference answer, as he took a relatively straightforward question and handed back an equally ambiguous answer to the media:
“We’ll go through that as we go. I plan on him making calls. I plan on him calling plays. I don’t have a problem with that at all.”
Aggies players probably know what to make of Jimbo’s words, and A&M fans are likely equipped to comprehend what he means. But when it comes to the Twitter landscape? It’s safe to say they had a field day.
Take a look a some of the social media reactions to Jimbo’s comments on who will call plays for Texas A&M this season:
