The House of Blue

just curious, but what happened to the "money won't be an issue" train of thought? I assume we probably couldn't guarantee future investments?

That sounds like Fulmer. He's the only one that I can think of off the top of my head that people have mentioned that actually fits the description.

The only other one is Petrino, but I would classify him as having "major SEC ties."

The demand for money doesn't sound like Fulmer--not that I know anything about him personally but he was apparently pretty hot after the Louisville job and they weren't going to pay anything like that.

The only football coaches in Cal's stratosphere are Saban, Brown, Stoops, and Meyer. Whether it's Petrino or Dan Mullen or really anybody, it's incredibly difficult to come up with somebody who would deserve that kind of money. We're not going to get that good of a coach or one with that kind of track record and therefore shouldn't expect to pay at that level.

As for paying a football coach more than Cal--that's not any weird logic. Cal has demonstrably proved himself to be at the very top of college coaches and should be paid at that level. Our football coach will not be in that category because coaches at that level don't just follow the money, they find the job and those jobs are at Alabama and Oklahoma, not Kentucky.

It's Bobby.

Johnson?
Bowden?
Cremins?
Stoops?
Neyland?
Barker?
Hope?
Valentine?
Knight?

Thanks for the info minter

In a word, Yes.

In a few more words I was hoping we could get him at a lot lower price coming in and bump it up quite a bit in a couple years.

I doubt anything people hear at this point especially from minter considering his constant negative agenda.

This is likely just piling on Barnhart.

Ps: a. Barnhart will never hire Petrino. B. if its uk vs auburn money doesn't matter. People in auburn have always wanted Petrino. People in Lexington have always hated him.

This story isn't true.
