The House of Blue

For that odd little subset of fans who obsess over Petrino, wherever he lands will be the most interesting program.

Longer term, the ceiling is pretty low in the Sun Belt. Maybe he behaves and does well enough to get back to the major leagues or maybe he doesn't. An article yesterday, I think in SI, compared him to a couple of similar guys--Mike Price and George O'Leary. After they squandered their shot at the big time, they did ok (or are still doing ok) in the non-BCS leagues, probably drawing a decent enough paycheck, but nobody with serious programs ever decided to give them another shot. This seems a much more likely scenario for Petrino than his ever getting back to the SEC.

Hey acc, did you finally get that trailer door unstuck? Now people won't have to throw you food through the broken window no more. Remember stupidity=ul fans.

Say what you want but the facts show that he wasn't going to be hired by a major D-1 school. WKY has nothing to lose, they lost the guy that they hoped would take them to the next level, and Petrino was there hanging in the balance. Even if he is screws up again who is going to care out in the public's eye.
