Report: Bobby Petrino Nearing Texas A&M Contract to Join Jimbo Fisher's Staff as OC

Texas A&M football head coach Jimbo Fisher is hiring UNLV offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino as the Aggies' offensive coordinator and play-caller, per ESPN's Chris Low.

Petrino spent the past three seasons as the head coach of Missouri State, a Division I-FCS program. The Bears went 18-15 under Petrino and made the NCAA tournament in 2020 and 2021.

After the 2022 season, Petrino reached an agreement to become UNLV's offensive coordinator, per Low and ESPN's Adam Rittenberg on Dec. 15.

However, those plans have reportedly changed. Petrino now looks to be headed back to the SEC, where he served as Arkansas' head coach from 2008-2011.
