Any idea if this caught the staff by surprise, or if this was one of those "agree now, but if T A&M offers, I'll have to jump" sort of things? Either way, any insight into a timeframe when we'll get an OC on board? We need to be hitting the portal, so missing a big piece like OC may affect us.
I think it will move quick. Portal window for visits opened today so this wasn’t timely.
My problem isnt the money. Dude came in and got locker room buy in from players, had recruits and portal guys lined up and poof, gone. And then you leave Odom sitting there having to now go find another coach and figure out who hes still got in the locker room... Its a really F'd up thing to do to a coaching buddy.
Is this accurate regarding locker room buy in, as well as having portal guys lined up? Or just speculation?
Speculation mostly, but considering we just had signing day and that Broda kid sign, and itd be coaching mismanagement if they werent trying to attract for players in the portal, and as for locker room, well QB1 sure was excited by the new hires... We also had that Arkansas QB in his top 3, assume hes out...lots of moving parts that you hoped you had settled and now you will have to reidentify targets or offers based on new OC system
Probably caught everyone by surprise. No way any program hires him if he wants "but I'm waiting for this job" clause
Yeah, I hear you. Based on @AA Insider comments, he's saying Petrino isn't much of a recruiter though, so maybe that wasn't his area of focus, but more on the player development and running the offense. Seems like you'd want to be in on both, and I'm just going off of his comments (AA). I guess we'll find out soon, but hopefully Coach Odom has some other OC's in mind and will be able to get them in soon.
I don't know. Maybe neither of them actually thought that TA&M would pull the trigger on Petrino, so they went ahead anyways.
In hindsight, he got closer than anyone other than Robinson in turning this thing around. Went 5-7 in back to back seasons.
You don’t have to worry about Scherer lol
Annnnd he's gone.UNLV: Miles Fishback, who spent last season as the special teams coordinator / running backs coach at Morehead State, has accepted the lead offensive analyst position and will work with the receivers, per source.

Had to look it up since you guys didn't share what happened. Apparently Miles Fishback followed Petrino to Texas A&M.
You can do that with a new T.V. contract with ESPN and an attendance of 97,000 per game. Haven't done the math but I'd be surprised if they don't make more from football in one year than we do in 15 years.
Last year A&M had a 69 million dollar profit in football...I don't want to do any more math than that.
