The House of Blue

I knew some of the assistant coaches at UofL during the Petrino years and some were miserable. Every one of them walked around on pins and needles fearful that they would do or say the wrong thing. They avoided him like the plague when possible.
That being said, maybe he has mellowed over the years but the Bobby Petrino world is not for everyone. Buyer beware!

I'll switch allegiance to UL football before I support a Petrino led UK team. I believe in 2nd/3rd chances, who am I to judge? However, our program needs a unifier, someone that the overwhelming majority supports and rallies behind. He's done enough winning that people will rationalize the baggage, but that baggage is significant and impossible for many dismiss. If this process is handled right, UK won't have to settle for Petrino, he's not the only coach with a track record of winning football games

The first time I heard someone mention Petrino as the HC @ UK I thought that wouldreally turn my stomach. Then after watching the performance on the field, I realized that being the laughingstock of the SEC is what REALLY turns my stomach.

I want to see football win. In order to get a coach in here that can take UK to a level beyond where CRB took us, we'll probably have to consider someone with some warts or get really lucky with someone unporven. I'm not talking aboutsomeone who is going to go outside the rules (and Petrino's never been said to cheat). If a contract can be reached that insures he's hear for 4 years and voids on a morals basis then, as much as I can't believe I'm saying this, I'd be willing to take the chance.

I despised him when he was at L'Ville - especially when he ran up the score, but watching him return the favor to the Ratbirds a couple of ties could earn him my forgiveness.
