The House of Blue

The fact that so much money is going to be lost, I still believe bringing in a replacement coach, if we are lucky enough to land Petrino since he is unemployed is still a possibility.

Hiring Petrino and announcing him as HC, UK would sell out the remainder of their games.

Now maybe Petrino doesn't want to come to UK, but I don't really see any jobs he will be offered, maybe Auburn, but I still have a hard time believing the Barners will fire Chizik 2 years removed from a National Championship
If Tennessee fires Dooley, Kirby Smart will be their top choice.

Still think Arkansas and Kentucky will be the only 2 SEC teams looking for a coach at the end of the season.

Petrino is arguably a top 5 coach. At least top 7 or 8 in the nation.

You have Saban, Meyer, Fischer, Peterson, and Stoops as my top 5. After that I would put Petrino, some may argue Kelley, Holgerson, Miles, Spurrier.

Kentucky is not the type of program that can pass up the opportunity to hire a coach of that magnitude. Who cares about baggage. Bottom line, he has never been accused of NCAA violations as far as I know. Just some very poor personal decisions.

You have to think if a guy is trying to reconcile his personal life and build back up his reputation, Lexington, KY sounds like a solid fit. That is why everyone around the country (Analysts, Fans, Talking heads) think it is a perfect fit. Of course the administration has to also give him the tools to succeed.

Landing Petrino would also give us a one up in Louisville recruiting, we would likely land Quick, and maybe some of the others from Trinity.

I would love to see an offense in a couple of years with Smith or Towles, throwing to Sweat, Robinson, Collins, and Quick. All guided by Bobby Petrino.

Josh it worked out good for Curry...Team and fans rallied around him when idiot newton said Curry was done...It was like a burden lifted off everyone...Who knows how this will work out..

Newton waited until Curry fell to 1-6, making a bowl game mathematically impossible (they played 11 back then). UK then won its last three home game, as a sizeable underdog vs. Ga., a decent sized underdog against Miss. St., and against a typically bad Vandy team. Then, they got crushed in Knoxville in Curry's last game.

I think I would apply the same standard. Once Joker has lost seven games, I don't see any harm in saying that he won't be back. I mean, I know it's not going to happen, but how stupid would you feel if they announced Joker wouldn't return and UK went 5-3 in the SEC? I would be beyond amazed for this season to be turned around, but the head coach deserves that chance until he passes the point of no return, IMHO.

So does that mean the year we beat eventual NC LSU, that they sucked worse than us? If not please explain how you came to this conclusion.

We lost a nail biter to WKU and now we suck worse than the sunbelt...get real.

I am befuddled that so many are clamoring for Petrino. Has it really come to this?

I play the part of laughing stock...as do every UK fan who pays money to watch, buy gear, have to listen UofL linebeard douchebags AND watch horrible football .

BTW: what's your friggin problem?
