Texas A&M is so bad ....

... How bad is it?

Bobby Petrino won't even go there. Instead, he's going to UNLV, where you can't spell irrelevant without Rebels. 

Losing players to the portal is one thing. Losing coaches to UN feaking LV is a whole new level of bad. 

Per Chris Low ESPN

Bobby Petrino is returning to the FBS ranks as the offensive coordinator at UNLV under new coach Barry Odom, sources tell ESPN. Petrino was head coach at Missouri State the last three seasons. He’s widely regarded as one of the top offensive minds/play-callers in the game.

It's so bad that over 20 players are portalling out to take less NIL$.

To be honest, there is value to not having to live in c/s

Posted in another thread, but I wonder if Petrino was their guy and it got scrapped once they saw how bad the reactions were.

I believe the HC’s giant ego is determined to keep running the offense. 
He’s not about to hire a capable OC and anyone decent won’t work for him.

I suspect at this point he may be willing to hire a top-notch OC, but I'm not sure a top-notch OC would see that job as a good career move.

1. Any new OC candidates out there for Jimbo?

2. I didn't want to see this thread die. lol

Perhaps Manny Diaz would give OC a try?

Washington OC Ryan Grubbs just saw his pay bumped up to 2 million a year, his second raise in the last several months due to A&Ms pursuit of him. 

I was surprised that went through NSD1 without an OC and now I wonder if they will have one hired by NSD2?

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Why not just hire Jr. to be his OC? Make him earn some money to pay for the bling

Oh my goodness. He isn’t big enough to carry all of that.

Sometimes aggy jokes write themselves.

Lots of aggy underwhelmed with the hire

At least the yell leaders might be safe ... hell, who am I kidding.
