Aggies coach says Bobby Petrino will call plays but is more considered with fixing the...
Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher, looking at his play sheet last season, is focused on fundamentals for his team in spring ball.COLLEGE STATION — Ten years ago this coming season Jimbo Fisher won a national title at Florida State while calling plays on offense. Ten years later he’s having to answer questions about bringing onboard Bobby Petrino to call plays on offense at Texas A&M.
“Here’s what we’re doing — we’re running our thing and we’re going to be base fundamentals, we ain’t getting into scheme, we ain’t getting into anything,” Fisher said of his plan for spring drills, which started Monday. “That’s what we’re going to do. That’s what we’re going to practice and what we’re going to do on a daily basis.”
Fisher has served as primary play-caller for more than two decades, whether he was offensive coordinator at LSU or FSU or head coach at FSU or A&M, so a transition to a more hands-off role with the offense does not seem easy for him — and on him. The most peculiar moment in roughly 17 minutes of general discomfort with a defensive Fisher on Monday occurred when he was asked whether he or Petrino would call plays this season.
His only other losing season as a head coach occurred in 2017 when he was exiting FSU for A&M — and had planned to for much of that distracted fall. Fisher, in no mood this week to discuss offensive intricacies with Petrino onboard, said it’s time to get back to fundamentals in spring practice, which culminate with the spring game on April 15.
