ESPN reported that Petrino will take the play-calling duties from Fisher in College Station in an attempt to revive a stagnant Aggies offense that averaged only 22.8 points per game this season.Fisher has always called his own plays on offense and is one of the diminishing number of head coaches to do so, and although he will still be heavily involved in the Aggies' offense, sources told ESPN that Petrino will take over primary play-calling duties.
Fisher, who has a guaranteed 10-year, $95 million contract, is 39-21 overall and 23-18 in SEC play in five seasons at Texas A&M. That includes a combined 13-11 record over the past two seasons.
