Schlabach has his 2023 college football predictions up and one in particular, if it comes to fruition, is gonna make me fwow up.
Texas A&M’s Bobby Petrino wins the Broyles Award: Jimbo Fisher’s decision to turn his offense over to Petrino, a former Arkansas and Louisville coach, reeked of desperation after last season’s 5-7 debacle. What if it actually works? The Aggies ranked 13th in the SEC in scoring (22.8), 11th in rushing (141.8 yards) and 10th in passing (219.4 yards) last season. Not good. With quarterback Conner Weigman taking the next step with one of the league’s better receiver corps, the Aggies should be much better on offense.
Petrino winning the award that Todd Monken should have one last season would be something of a cosmic joke. On us. And probably on the next athletic director dumb enough to give him another head coaching job based on that.

Scroll on to the bottom of that section, you’ll see that Carson Beck “has the unenviable task of replacing Stetson Bennett.” Man, imagine hearing that a couple years ago.

Stet went from “scrub fill in” to “ok, but he cant win a shootout or an NC” to “ok, he won an NC but he wont ever be able to do it again, go start working at an insurance agency, dont ruin your legacy” to “HOW WILL UGA REPLACE STETSON BENNETT????”
FTMF. Beck will be fine. And if he isnt, anyone know who the scout team QB was last year? THAT guy will be fine.

Oh, if Petrino’s successful in College Station, he’s absolutely getting another HC job. Maybe at Auburn, after Hugh Freeze gets busted for, I don’t know, running a human trafficking operation. Or maybe even at A&M if he manages to convince the administration he’s the real brains of the outfit. A&M eats the rest of Jimbo’s contract and then signs Petrino to a 10-year, $150 million deal. Tell me you don’t think it could happen.

If Petrino wins the award. The coup is the logical next step. If the Aggies lose a high scoring shoot out next year to Texas Jimbo is another highly paid former coach.
Are these people also Joe Moore award voters?

Yup. Bobby Petrino is many things, but one of them is “better head coach than Hugh Freeze.”

I can envision all manner of nefarious plotting by the A&M cult to screw Jimbo out of his contract $$$ and hire Petrino as HC, Doug. Tying Fisher to Freeze’s human trafficking ring (which the A&M boosters orchestrated and thank you for the idea, by the way) would be viable. Freeze would keep his job as there is no moral turpitude clause in Auburn’s program.
Petrino could take the Ole Miss job next year when Saban retires to Jupiter Island after getting his ass handed to him by the Dawgs for the second and third time this season and Junior takes the Bama HC position.
All the vile and odious shenanigans from A&M are still unequal to their original hire of Petrino.

I agree. No way Fisher just turns over the reigns and removes himself from the offense completely. What would he do with that Outback menu he calls a playbook that he walks around with on the sidelines?

I could see him improving Texas AM to say 10-2 or so and getting hired by Mizzou or Mississippi State. Can you imagine having Freeze and Petrino playing in the “Shitbird Bowl” every year?

I see 10-2….or better.
I don’t think anyone other than Jimbo is on the hot seat in the SEC so Petrino would sit tight or take a lesser opportunity at seasons end.

You may be right. But I could see them firing Jimbo and making some kind of outrageous offer to Urban or even Saban, something like $20 million a year- because they are stupid.

On the contrarian side, Petrino winning it would be absolutely hilarious. Matter of fact, I’m rooting for it. Why? Because if it indeed happened, it would put all sorts of pressure on someone equally as unlikeable (Jimbo), in which Petrino would get most of the glory while Jimbo would be seen as a failure who held the program back all these years.

This could make the inevitable dysfunction even hotter. I’m imagining Jimbo, Bobby, TX A&M boosters reading Schlabach and their very different thoughts to the possibility of Bobby’s genius being the agent of positive change there. Even when good things happen on offense the egos gonna ego.
