The House of Blue

I doubt he'll get an opportunity at any of those places mentioned. And what makes you think Auburn will be looking for a coach. They don't look good this year but firing a coach two years after winning a national championship is tough to fathom. Barnhart won't hire him. Might end up at Da Ville if Strong leaves to take the UF or Arky job. UT might not be looking for a coach. They sure looked good in their first game of the season.

Agreed, I think Dooley gets to stick around, they have been young and inexp the past few years and now they are looking like a top SEC school yet again, anyone that saw last weeks game vs NC ST should agree.

It'll be interesting to see how hiring Petrino will work out. He is obviously a very good coach and great offensive mind. But, there is a TON of baggage that accompanies the hire. Has he finally been humbled? Has he learned from his bevy of mistakes?

Don't care as long as it isn't UK.

I have to say I agree but when Auburn is involved I don't think they really care about etiquitte (sp). They tried to steal the guy from UL, lost him, got in a bidding war for Cam Newton, and then hired Chizik who had less than a stellar resume (I would call him a puppet). They're 0-2 and will get rolled by 'bama this year, guaranteed.

If the powers to be at Auburn (the boosters) decide they want a new coach then they would do it by the end of the weekend. Trust me, AU fans have a very short memory and could care less about the "let's at least give a coach three years mentality". It's not exactly like you're rebuilding when you when the NC.

These guys won't deal with a subpar record two years removed from the NC. They have the money, the boosters, the facilities, and the fanbase that just won't put up with it. And they will still fill the stands either way.

Crazy bunch.

Yup, Texas Tech rolled the dice on BCG.

Petrino will neaver coach in the SEC again people. He has made every boss that hired him look bad.

He is a head case for sure.

Glad we are not in this discussion. With his history with Auburn and thier desperation to get back to competing with Bama, they would probably take him.

Auburn is going to have some issues with Chiz's gaudy buyout. Tennessee is looking pretty good right now and should they beat Florida next week I'd say Dooley is likely off the hot seat. I don't see Florida hiring Petrino but instead someone like Strong instead.

Auburn is most likely if they can dig real deep to do it. Otherwise I don't see it if it isn't us. Too much baggage for a bigger program that could easily go elsewhere.

Think Strong is all Arkansas' after this season. Born there, played at Central Arkansas in college. Just all seems to be lining up imo.

Ummm....yes....it actually IS on him that Arkansas replaced him with a sub-par coach. His stupidity forced Arkansas to try and make a coaching hire at a time when no one is ever available. At UaVel, he ran a renegade program that was full of thugs. By the time Kragthorpe took out the trash, he wasn't left with much. It's indisputable that Bobby Petrino has royally **BLEEPED** over EVERYONE who has employed him as a head coach.

Definitely possible. I think at the very least he ends up somewhere in the SEC. He's smart enough to know that Louisville, even if they achieve some success this season or the next, is on the road to losing that AQ status and likely on the outside looking in when a playoff comes as long as they're in the Big East.
