We need to identify those in favor, and those unhappy Ags now before the 2023 season gets rollin'

Reasonable hire Things should be better next year
There was lots of problems with Jimbo calling plays:
Delay of game penalties, outdated playbook, clock mgmt etc

Definitely better than no hire or internal candidate
we weren't getting a rising star OC

Personally really don't like that he took the UNLV gig then 3 weeks later is taking the A&M job. Shows the search and hiring process was a Charlie-Foxtrot

i will be serving it because ags offense next year will be much better. what is short sighted by those that don't like the hire is that assuming health we would be light years better next season even if we had done nothing.

Personally good with the hire. Big improvement over his predecessor. 2023 will be exciting season.

I love the hire. I'm tired of facing to the moral police and losing. He'll I was on the Briles train. Just win baby. We shouldn't consider ourselves morally superior nor strive to do so when sports are in play. No one cares how clean you are. You are judged by wins and losses. Period.

Bad hire, unless we have lots of success, in which case it's a great hire.

I have NO problem with the hire and I fully expect us to be much better on offense IF our O line is decent.

I'm in favor of the hire and think it will be very good for the Aggies.
However, I base this view assuming coach Fisher and coach Petrino have a clear understanding as to Game Day play calling.

It can be both a bad (embarrassing) hire and the offense can still improve next season. They aren't mutually exclusive.
A lot remains to be seen but mark me down as considering BP's placement on the staff as the dying whimper of a lame duck coach.

Thoughts from the VatoLocoAggie:

Petrino has far exceeded expectations at every place he has coached. He is proven and has turned around underperforming teams quickly. He has luggage but it's already been inspected and cleared.

Petrino is the Homerun hire this team needs however no matter how brilliant minded he is, he will not be successful if Jimbo and/or BMAs micromanage him, puts him on a leash, limits his discretionary coaching decision abilities, or undermines his decisions.

We need to allow Petrino to have a canvas with enough paints and brushes to create a beautiful championship quality work.

Great hire!!! Let his past go for ****s sake! He made a mistake. We all are not saints. The old saying, Aggies don't lie, cheat, or steal is absolutely bull ***** As far as experience......nice resume just to be an OC! Nice resume to be a power 5 head coach somewhere. We got lucky in hiring Petrino!!! How could there be any potbangers around the subject? Just a couple months ago, our play caller stomped up and down the sidelines holding a Denny's menu with about 700 plays on it continuously yelling at his players......AND AVERGING 23 POINTS A GAME ALL YEAR. be grateful for who we hired.

Put me down for a good-not-great hire, which is ultimately a disappointment for where we want this program to be.

I would happily eat boudin stuffed bourbon lacquered roasted crow on a bed of blue cheese grits with a side of satsuma mirliton slaw.

But what's the definition of success that would prove me wrong and over what time frame?

Not in favor. Don't care if we win or not I don't think he is a good person and I think we could have done better.

In favor, he may be a bad person but he is not a criminal and this is major college football and he is working with grown adults not nursery schoolers.

From a football perspective I think Petrino will improve the offense and probably by a lot. From an integrity of Texas A & M standpoint it's a negative imo.

Meh, we kicked integrity to the curb a while ago. Our DC killed a guy.

He'll improve our offense. He'll lower our driving test score. Put me down for both of those lists.

Starting a "I told you so" thread anticipating Bobby Petrino to be the next coming of Garrett Riley next year for Texas A&M…..hmmm, what could go wrong?
