Bobby Petrino is finalizing a deal with Texas A&M to become its offensive coordinator under head coach Jimbo Fisher. He noted that Petrino will take over play-calling duties.
Petrino was announced as UNLV’s offensive coordinator on Dec. 15. A day after, Missouri State promoted Ryan Beard, Petrino’s son-in-law, to head coach. Petrino’s son, Nick Petrino, and another son-in-law in L.D. Scott remains on Missouri State’s staff.
Petrino was initially tied to the Texas A&M offensive coordinator position in the weeks before he was initially hired at UNLV as its offensive coordinator. The Aggies fired Darrell Dickey as the team’s OC late in the 2022 season. Texas A&M was 5-7 the past season and had the 94th-ranked offense in the country at the end of the regular season.
