I wouldn’t call it significant offseason drama just yet, but ever since Head coach Jimbo Fisher spoke on Monday during the first official day of spring football for Texas A&M, Fisher has now claimed the role of tyrannical puppet master by a majority of sports media heads after his brief answer regarding if new offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino will be calling plays for the 2023 season:
“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.”
“How much will Jimbo Fisher meddle in what Bobby Petrino wants to do offensively,” McElroy said. “I don’t think he’s going to meddle that much to be honest with you. I think you go out, you hire a guy like Bobby Petrino, you’re not going to tell him what he can and cannot do. You might give some advice. I see this, I see that. I want to try this, sure, you might make some suggestions. But are you ultimately going to call a guy in that has that many skins on the wall to call plays and then not let him dohis job? I have a hard time envisioning that.”
