Bobby Petrino is on the move again.
Only weeks after the former Missouri State coach accepted a job as the new UNLV offensive coordinator under Barry Odom, Petrino is headed back to the SEC, according to ESPN. Jimbo Fisher is finalizing a deal to hire Petrino as his OC at Texas A&M and Petrino will take over play-calling duties, Chris Low of ESPN reported. Petrino is considered one of the top offensive minds in football and was briefly OC at UNLV after he spent the last 3 seasons at Missouri State.
Petrino has a colorful and well-known career history.
In 2007, he had a stint as the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons in the NFL ranks before he returned to the college game as Arkansas’s head coach from 2008 to 2011. He was Western Kentucky’s coach in 2013 and then was back at Louisville from 2014 to 2018.
Petrino’s overall record as a college head coach is 137-71.
