The Texas A&M Aggies and coach Jimbo Fisher fired Darrell Dickey after five seasons this past offseason. They did so after having the worst offense in Fisher’s tenure. Dickey served as an analyst since Fisher has called plays for the offense since being hired at Florida State in 2010.
Texas A&M’s offense was horrid mainly due to injuries and incosistenent quarterback play. A&M ranked 82nd in passing offense (219.4 yards per game), 83rd in rushing offense (141.8 yards per game), 95th in total offense (361.2 yards per game), and 101st in scoring offense (22.6 points per game).
It was their fist season below .500 since 2008. Fisher and the Aggies will be on the hottest seat in the nation entering next season.
As they try to find their new way forward, they are looking for a new OC. Could Luke Huard of the USC Trojans be next in line?
Huard, 43, was an offensive analyst under Fisher at A&M from 2019-21 before joining USC. Prior to his three seasons in College Station, Huard was Sacramento State’s co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach from 2017-2018.
He was also offensive coordinator at Georgia State and Illinois State. Huard is a former North Carolina quarterback and the younger brother of former University of Washington and NFL quarterbacks Damon Huard and Brock Huard.
TCU offensive coordinator Garrett Riley, younger brother of USC coach Lincoln Riley, has already turned down Fisher’s offer of $6 million over three years to become the Aggies’ new offensive coordinator, according to Football Scoop.
