I'm not turning off an ad blocker, can I get a tldr? Because this is also something I'm watching closely before our matchup.

Petrino: “ I’ve read or heard, or I’ve had people send me things about, ‘Are you and Coach Fisher getting along?’ That’s not really how it works. (Jimbo) is the boss, alright,” Petrino said. “My job is to keep him happy and make sure everything works the way he wants it to work.”

Fisher, specifically about who will call plays: “I’m not going to get into that. Bobby was hired for a reason. Tremendous guy. Tremendous football mind. Hopefully, he’ll call the game & have suggestions,” Fisher said. “When you get to [play] calling, and you get on a roll, you need a guy that can do it, and I think Bobby can definitely do that better than anybody in college football. And I have great respect for him. We’ve had great admiration for each other for a long time.”

This could either take Aggie to the next level, or completely, finally derail the whole Jimbo Fisher regime, guaranteed contract be damned. I don’t see a whole lot of in between.
