The Aggies definitely need some help on the offensive side of the ball. Through 8 weeks, Texas A&M is 104th in scoring, 72nd in passing yards per game, 87th in first downs per game, and 101st in rushing yards per game.
Pretty much everything about the offense for the Aggies has been outright bad in 2022, the play design, the play calling, the blocking, the quarterback play, the receivers, etc., with the lone exception being Devon Achane who accounts for more than twice as many scrimmage yards 960, as the next highest players Evan Stewart who has 477 yards.
The offensive performance is seemingly starting to effect recruiting as well, as the Aggies have struck out on every offensive skill player and quarterback they’ve pursued in the 2023 cycle, with their only offensive commits thus far being linemen Chase Bisontis, TJ Shanahan, Colton Thomasson and Naquil Bertrand.
The offense took a major step forward in Week 8 when Conner Weigman got his first start, but if Jimbo Fisher wants to turn around the narrative surrounding the Aggies offense, he has one decision left to make.
Hire an offensive coordinator, and surrender the duties as the primary game-planner and play caller to that offensive coordinator.
If Jimbo can nail an offensive coordinator hire in late November, maybe it will give him an opportunity to flip some high quality offensive recruits in December.
