Offense is going to blow it up next year. Petrino will excel with this group.

Obviously waiting until the bowl games are over.

Well we've always been stupid but had the moral high ground. Now we've got nothing.

How embarrassing!!

Looks like Jimbo beat Saban to the punch!… and now Bama is stuck with O'Brien.

These are the offensive rankings of Petrino's FBS teams:

Arkansas (FBS Ranks SP+ Offense)
2008 - 32nd
2009 - 8th
2010 - 2nd
2011 - 11th

Louisville
2014 - 36th
2015 - 42nd (Lamar Jackson)
2016 - 8th (Lamar Jackson)
2017 - 2nd (Lamar Jackson)
2018 - 102nd

Was LJ to BP as JF to KS?

This is a trash hire by a desperate program that no real coordinator wants to work for. After last year Jimbo has lost any benefit of a doubt on his hires.

It just keeps getting better.

Best Oc this school has ever had!

So let me get this straight he just accepted a job with UNLV a month ago and now he cuts bait and runs to us? Maybe I am old school but that's a crap move on his part and shows he has no ethics not that we really think he did. The last shred of respect I had for Jimbo is gone.

Exactly the type of move expected from a dirtbag like Petrino

---

As a former college athlete and coach I just don't understand this "holier than thou" mindset that you think is still supposed to exist in college sports.

Are you telling me if you took a job tomorrow and then someone offered you twice as much money at a better company you'd turn it down due to your principles?

Get serious dude, too many stone throwers and anti Ags trying to make this look like a bad deal. This was a smart move by both parties that needed to be made.

---

A lot of Ags live in a lala land and like to virtue signal by talking about the Aggie Honor Code. Pretty sure in their personal lives, they are as corrupt and neck-deep in debauchery as they can be.

You can take your "moral ground" to the bank and see what it gets you.

If Garrett Riley [or insert any OC that Aggie fans wanted] got the same character flaws as Petrino, they would be quick to dismiss or minimize those flaws and say that everyone deserves a second chance.

Why would we wait

You mean we waited until all the actual good choices told Jimbo no and got raises.

"I am very happy to add Bobby as our offensive coordinator," Fisher said. "I always had tremendous respect for him as a head coach, offensive coordinator and play caller. He is one of the best minds in college football. Bobby has a reputation for developing players and we are extremely excited to have him on our staff."

Petrino Scoring Offense:

Year- National Rank/Conference Rank-PPG

Louisville:
2018-No. 122/14-19.8;
2017 -No. 11/1-38.1
2016-No. 6/1-42.5
2015-No. 65/8-28.7
2014-No. 53/6-31.2

Arkansas State:
2013-No. 66/5-29.2

Fact is in the last decade his FBS record includes 2 great offenses, 1 terrible offense, 3 mediocre offenses.

That is not the mark of some great offensive mastermind who is a top notch coach at developing players & out scheming his opponents.

This is a mediocre offensive coach who got luck with a great talent in a mediocre conference. Lamar Jackson would not have taken his offense from mediocre to elite in the SEC. There is too much talent on both sides. He would have a giant impact, but not mid tier to top tier impact.

The game changes & what he did ten plus years ago is not a useful metric compared to what he has accomplished recently. If Fisher's offenses still worked as well as they did in '13 we would not be in this situation.

Username needs to change to Rattle Your Saber

Weigman's going to destroy in Petrino's offense.
