The House of Blue

If anyone needs to chill it's you partner. Don't come on here attacking me when I just asked a question and stated that in my post. So get your undies out of a wod and chill. Can we not have a decent exchange of informations, facts and opinions on here? I have learned a few things from some of the post and that is why I asked the question. People like you who want to attack need to have your keyboard taken away. How old are you is a better question? You are acting like a toddler! Drink a cold beer and relax...that's if you are old enough.

Did some really post in this thread that we'd have Arkansas to contend with for Bobby P? Now thats hilarious!! I assume the guy meant Auburn but still.

Forgive me for being human. I did mean Auburn. I'll work on being perfect.

Yet? LMAO.

I think this is true. I have mixed feelings about Petrino. He is obviously an excellent coach and obviously a first-class jerk. I do not think UT or Auburn are going to hire him, for the reasons you state. Obviously, he is not a candidate at Arkansas. So UK, if they are interested, can afford to take their time and do their due dilligence. I also suspect (I have no inside info) that there are probably as many insiders who would oppose his hire as would support it. On the other hand, he is probably the best coach that we could get. Tough call.

Don't want to argue but it was the other way around...OSU had Ark down 28 and let them back into it. Took an int on the last drive to seal it for the Buckeyes.
Doesn't take away from some of your other points though.

I have two issues with Petrino. First the good though.

A. He's a hell of a coach. No arguing that.

Now the bad.

A. I have no problem with his affair. He isn't the first coach or person to have an affair won't be the last. It's the fact that he was dumb enough to hire the girl, lie about it, lie about it some more and then get fired. he put the university in a massive liability situation. Most people go back to bussing tables when you do something that stupid for good reason. Because when you do something that stupid something is off within your mind. Something is off so bad that it usually can't be fixed.

B. When he leaves a program/ team they are TERRIBLE and have massive issues after he leaves. This speaks to two things. A. He obviously holds things together pretty good, but as we all remember, he hides discipline issues. Remember at UofL how so many guys got kicked off the team the year after he left? I don't want that at my school.

C. You never hear of his former players going to bat for him and talking about how great he was or how much he does for his players. Hell, you even hear most of Knight's players go to bat for him.

In the end, as I've said all along, if Mitch thinks he's the right guy, I trust Mitch. But from the outside, it looks to me like the bad FAR outweighs the good.
