Texas A&M Promotes Holmon Wiggins to Offensive Coordinator Before CFP Opener

Collin Klein will continue calling plays through the playoff.

Overview

  • Head coach Mike Elko said he interviewed five candidates and offered the job only to Wiggins.
  • Klein accepted the Kansas State head-coaching job but will stay through the College Football Playoff and handle play-calling against Miami.
  • The announcement arrives days before No. 7 Texas A&M hosts No. 10 Miami on Saturday in its playoff debut at Kyle Field.
  • Wiggins had been the Aggies’ co-offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach after five seasons at Alabama, where he also served as assistant head coach of offense.
  • Reports link Brad Cornelson to a potential role on Wiggins’ future staff, and the move follows Lyle Hemphill’s elevation to defensive coordinator after Jay Bateman left for Kentucky.
