Fun Bobby was not on the list of prospective coaches.

See my other post... the SEC clearly doesn't want BP back in the league.

And literally none of this would be an issue if we didn't have to be damn near flawless and score 40 points every single week to even have a shot at winning the game.
Yet it keeps on happening. It happens in games where we are in the lead. It happens in games where we are driving down the field with ease. Not to mention in multiple 4th quarters our offense just disappears for all intents and purposes.
His offense puts up a lot of yards and a lot of points. Who cares? I don't care if you put up 40 points a game, I care if you put up 3 points when you absolutely have to have those 3 points. His offense has consistently not done that in the two years he's been here. If anything they are getting worse at it.
Yes, his offense would be much better and dependable with a game manager QB who can control the game and not make stupid mistakes. Petrino isn't going to hunt one of those down. Green is the style of QB he wants and if he gets the chance he'll plug another guy like Green in there.
Petrino isn't going to field a decent defense unless he is forced too and he's not going to allow anyone to force him to do that. He's in his mid 60s. Petrino is who he is going to be. What we have seen in these last 4 games is what we are going to get going forward.

And clearly there are a few that are just fine with that.
Chad took us to the depths of hell and Bobby is on track to do the very same thing, ofer in the SEC
Yippee

and you know all of this, from BP taking over mid season? From BP not having his own players in stead having to listen to Sam, HY, and corrupt NIL program that took half the money, a GM who is for basketball? Dude, anything he has done this season, is with both hand tied behind his back. Some blame, absolutely.... But when Sam told him several times to slow it down because of the Defense being too damned tired.. Yeah/NO!
I am not some BP apologist alone, but this is just bad form imho.
Next, Who? We will NOT outbid Auburn, Florida, LSU, so remove the top 3 from our lists... then hire a Chad/Bert/Pittboss 2.0?

Sam hasn't been there to tie his hands behind his back for sometime now. Bobby, by all accounts picked the offense according to what he wanted. This is the offense he built over two seasons. This is Petrino's offense. He owns this one.
As to NIL money, Bobby gave the NFL and free agency a try... and was a flaming pile of dog mess. He isn't going to become a moneyball guy all of a sudden.
We are starting to get into the "What if Captain America could shoot lazer beams from his eyeballs" territory. What if he gets a great DC (which he's never done unless he inherited the guy), we hire a fantastic GM (who Bobby will somehow bow down to), and one of the Walton's decides to dump several hundred million dollars into the program (which they show zero desire to do)?
You can play that game with Pittman too. What if had a great DC? What if his OC wasn't actively scheming for his job? What if they didn't tie his hands on NIL? What if he had wings so he could hover over the field and pee on refs?
If Bobby proves me wrong I'll happily eat crow. But he has shown absolutely no signs of turning things around. Petrino has 3 games left, all against teams with real issues, so how about he beats one of those teams instead of having a hissy fit on the sideline again? Then lets talk about giving him the keys to the family car.

I would trust BP with the keys to the family car prior to giving them to a Goelsh ?sp, Rhett, Gus, Silverfield, etal my man.
We about to frick it up again....

BP ain't touching any of my vehicles. I've already seen how he drives.

This is Petrino's offense. He owns this one.
Jesus Christ.
You know what wins the MSU game? Not letting them convert a 4th and 8 down 4 with only a couple of minutes left in the game. Instead of winning the game they whiffed two tackles and allowed a touchdown. But yeah, it's the offense's fault. Silly Bobby should have prepared for one of the worst teams in the league to score 38 points.

That is an... interesting... take on things.
Hmm... how about this? "Arkansas (2-7, 0-5 SEC), which entered with the seventh-ranked offense in FBS, lost a total of 15 yards on its final three drives."
Damn our defense! How dare they kidnap our offense, dress up as them, and shite the bed like that!
Bad defense! No supper for you.
Or when they did this against Auburn! "Rayshawn Pleasant’s 49-yard interception return for a touchdown with 9:15 left proved to be the game-winning score." Or "Razorbacks committed turnovers on three straight possessions following Pleasant’s touchdown."
How dare our defense force our offense to commit 4 straight turnovers and lose the game? Bobby is an offensive genius playing his hand picked QB. It couldn't be his fault!
You guys are emotionally invested in this, you've staked out your positions, and you don't want to lose face by being proven mistaken. But Bobby P is not getting the job done. I've said if he actually manages to turn things around I'll reconsider but you are fawning over an 0-4 coach whose offense has played a big role in 6 of our 7 losses with crunch time collapses.
Okay. I will take that back. Crunch time collapses in 5 of our 7 losses because there is pretty good evidence Petrino tanked everything after the first quarter against Notre Dame to get Pittman fired.
If Petrino wants to prove me wrong winning one of his last three, all against teams with some issues, will at least give me, and others, reason to take a second look. We just lost to two teams that were battling for the worst team in the SEC spot. Which we own because Kentucky beat one of them.

You're excusing a defense that gave up 31 points in the 2nd half alone. Exactly how many points ahead in the 4th quarter would you like the offense to be before you actually hold the defense accountable? Do they have to blow a 3 score lead before it becomes the issue? Two wasn't enough?
You can't be helped. We have literally the worst defense in the conference and you're blowing a gasket over a handful of offensive possessions. Nevermind the defense that constantly puts them in positions to where they literally cannot have a drive that doesn't result in points at any point in the 2nd half or we are just doomed to lose.
Again, anyone that watches this team play and comes to the conclusion that they need to point fingers at the offense first cannot be taken seriously. Auburn put 33 points on us. That's more points than they scored against fricking South Alabama. The same Auburn that just played Kentucky and couldn't even get in the endzone a single time. Auburn hasn't even scored 20 points against a single SEC opponent and they scored 33 on us. The 24 points we scored against them is the most they've given up all year.
But yeah, the #2 offense in the conference is just as big of an issue as the #16 defense. Shame on them for not being able to score on command any time they have the ball. That's a perfectly realistic expectation. Averaging 5 touchdowns a game just isn't gonna cut it.

Yes you can identify stretches where we've struggled offensively, but this offense is more than good enough to win with. The defense is not

I said from the beginning that Petrino probably couldn't make a big difference mid-season. The things that made him successful always centered around the off-season.

If by evidence you mean baseless internet accusations, sure

Is the Blueprint stuff really true? How are we just moving past that and that’s not grounds for immediate termination for Yuracheck?
Posted on 11/4/25 at 8:57 am to STLhog
Yes it true, this came out at Oregon State.
The rest have kept the exact details under wraps with Arkansas being the only who has terminated their agreement with blueprint.
Remember the big push to raise funds last year? Seems this was actually an effort to pay blueprint and not the players looking at he escalatory structure of payment blueprint set up.
A competent media should be able to FOIA the terms and report, but these guys don't want to risk losing access in the program.
