Texas A&M has hired Holmon Wiggins as its new offensive coordinator, replacing Collin Klein. Wiggins, who has been with the Aggies since 2024 as co-offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach, is taking over play-calling duties for the first time in his 21-year coaching career. Despite his lack of experience as a play-caller, Wiggins is highly regarded by head coach Mike Elko, who praised his coaching abilities and track record of developing elite talent, including several first-round NFL draft picks during his time at Alabama.
Why it matters
The Aggies are looking to build on a successful 2025 season and take the next step in the highly competitive SEC. Wiggins' ability to develop talent and his experience working under Nick Saban at Alabama make him an intriguing hire, though his lack of play-calling experience raises some questions about how the Aggies' offense will look under his leadership.
The details
Wiggins, 45, has been with the Aggies since 2024, serving as co-offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach. Prior to joining Texas A&M, he spent five seasons at Alabama under Nick Saban, where he coached several first-round NFL draft picks, including Heisman Trophy and Biletnikoff Award winner DeVonta Smith. During his time in College Station, Wiggins has helped the Aggies land top receiving talent and has played a key role in the offense's improvement, including a jump from 47th to 17th nationally in red-zone efficiency last season.
- Wiggins joined the Aggies' coaching staff in 2024.
- Wiggins served as co-offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach for the past two seasons.
- Wiggins is taking over as the sole offensive coordinator for the 2026 season.
