So you are saying wins > what is right and integrity of the university?


I don't think Chesire's saying that at all. I think he's just saying that if the same thing happened at Bama, you'd see the same battle going on in that fan base as in ours.

I've said it before, Jeff Long is in a terrible situation. One look at Hogville is all you need to know to understand that. If you even say that there's the possibility Petrino COULD be fired, you're either a Nutt Hugger, a Bible thumping Puritan, or a Troll.

Yes, that is exactly what I was saying.

I agree with this. I'm certain our fanbase would be divided just as Arky's is IF it was Saban. If it was a coach who had never won the division and the embarrassment to the university outweighed the positives he'd done for the university (which is the case with Petrino & likely wouldn't be with Saban) then we'd want that coach gone too.

Most Bama fans would probably want to keep Saban but would want to fire a coach with Petrino's resume (i.e. Mike Price).

This except 10x worse. Ark. is in the little leagues with coach worship compared to the Gumps!
