re: people who have played for or coached under mike leach

No dipshit petrino hires his fricking mistress which you can’t do. Everything about leach was a made up bullshite lie because the brass at t tech wanted him out and nothing else. They used the snake Craig games as an excuse but you probably know what and are just distorting things intentionally

I know who should be hired - actually, he never should've been fired, & perhaps Arky wouldn't be up shite creek without a paddle right now. Until U of A football hires people with a competitive, win-no-matter-what mentality, & who actually know how to do it, the football program will remain afloat on shite creek until it sinks altogether.

“I’ve always felt like football was a way of life for me, not a job, so I do miss it,” he said. “I miss being around the players. I miss the trying to help players excel and become the best they can possibly be on the field and off the field. … You know, I love sitting around with the coaches and game planning and working with them on preparing the guys. And then Saturdays are a little boring right now.

The 2 aren't even comparable. Broyles was obviously in it for his own overly inflated ego, power, & control. Petrino simply loves the game, relishes winning at football, & knows how to do it. An inherently competitive nature & love for/knowledge of the game & winning are requirements for a football HC, and have been lacking for a very long time at U of A.

he won 11 games last year and won pac 12 coach of the year. Now what else is the issue?

The fact that the PAC-12 is about 1 step above CUSA, and nowhere in the vicinity of the SEC?

Did you know Chad Morris and Bobby Petrino have something in common?

Both were fired during their last season as a college HC with a 2-8 record.

He made a very selfish move that got him fired.

Hahah, what? Screwing a younger, pretty woman? Pretty positive that 'selfish' move puts him in the majority of coaches, not the minority. Coaches have been screwing young pretty females, or their secretaries, office assistants, what have you, since they've been in existence - ask a previous UCA coach. Arky attempting to take some sort of bogus moral high ground regarding this longstanding practice was & continues to be ludicrous, not to mention beyond hypocritical. The fact remains that Petrino took the Hogs from the shitter to 11 wins & a BCS bowl in 4 seasons - presumably while screwing his girlfriend, so evidently, that wasn't a detriment. Perhaps if Arky had given him a new bike & a new girl instead of firing him, the Hogs might've had a shot at an sec championship or even a natty. Point being, Petrino most certainly isn't the only coach to have a girlfriend, even one who works for him, and it certainly doesn't take away from the fact that he cared/cares about winning & actually knows how to do it. ... Until Arkansas hires a coach/coaches with the competitive nature required to be successful at football, desire to win, & knowledge to accomplish it, who doesn't have other self-involved motives, nothing will change.

This just kind of shows the problem right away. Do you think people had an issue with him having an affair with a younger woman and that was it? That wasn't the university or the fans issue with it.

There you go but you can't just write that off as something small. Most coaches are smart enough to not get involved with a coworker. It is shitty to cheat on your wife but it is none of my business. When you start promoting people you are sleeping with over others, you put your selfishness above what is best for the team and university.

Having said all that, I wouldn't have an issue with him coming back to the football program but not as a head coach and that doesn't have much to do with his previous issues at the school. If his 2nd tenure at Louisville doesn't worry you in any way, I'm not sure you are paying attention.

quote:

I do admire how the petrinotards focus primarily on his affair as being the reason why he's currently unemployed ...

---

Lulz, it is absolutely the reason he became 'unemployed' at Arkansas, which is the locale & team I'm interested in, not Louisville. And if by 'petrinotards' you mean those who actually gave/give a shite about winning & hiring people who actually do it, instead of hiring lazy assholes who use Arky for a quick buck while sitting on his fatass shoveling in & guzzling every morsel/drop of food & booze on Dickson while collecting a small fortune, or some a-hole barely high school caliber pathetic excuse for a 'coach' who uses Arky & the team by dividing it & running it in the ground for his own personal agenda in re QB personnel, then yeah, sure.

He's had two jobs since then.

I guess we should bring Hatfield back he won consistently at Arkansas the rest of the time doesn't matter.
