2023 SEC media days are officially underway, and there was no shortage of Texas A&M representation on day one of the festivities.
Student-athletes Ainias Smith, McKinnley Jackson, and Fadil Diggs were among those in attendance at the Grand Hyatt in downtown Nashville, Tennessee. Of course, they were joined by Aggie football head coach Jimbo Fisher, and with the Maroon and White entering a pivotal 2023 season following their 5-7 (2-6 SEC) campaign a year ago, there was no shortage of questions heading Fisher’s way Monday afternoon.
From the team’s mindset heading into the fall season with a clean slate to the renewed rivalry with Texas once they join the SEC, there was plenty that Fisher had to say to both the media and on the main stage podium. Oh, and how could we forget the most predominant topic on everyone’s mind: whether it would be Fisher or newly anointed offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino calling the plays this season?
Spoiler alert: Fisher gave a classic answer when the question was thrown his way.
In addition to the aforementioned topics, Fisher was quick to pay tribute to the late great Aggie Terry Price, while also shedding light on the work the team has put in both on the gridiron, in the classroom, and within the team’s recent recruiting efforts.
