You and me both

Petrino didn't win shite in the SEC. He won two conference titles at UofL, and if I remember correctly, theming in C-USA. That's not a stellar resume IMO.

Wanna give specific examples
Yes, he raped a hotel maid at the local Auburn Holiday Inn (I'm being sarcastic). I'm not going to get into another pissing match about this. You, and everyone else, can choose to believe whatever you want to believe. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and feelings about people. I think Troop and Loop are pieces of shite. I've heard from people that know first hand. If you don't think so, then that's OK with me.

Passing over Bobby Petrino for another Gene Chizik would be a huge mistake, though.

That being said, in order of how I'd like them hired, I'd take:

1) Gary Patterson
2) Paul Rhoads
3) Bobby Petrino
4) Charlie Strong

Aside from 2010, since 2008, we've gone 5-7, 8-5, 8-5, and are currently sitting at 1-4. That's just not up to Auburn's standards. I feel like this season has been going for 15 years already and it's just getting started.

I better still be on your waiting list to be your friend too, jackass. AND STOP MOVING ME BEHIND OTHER POSTERS!

The problem I have with Petrino is that his lust to feed his own ego is greater than his lust to simply win. There is no question that he is an outstanding offensive mind, and thats the problem: he loves the gratitude and "proving" himself...thats why he is a perennial job-jumper. He will not recruit well enough to compete with Alabama, and that also plays back to his ego: the need to show that he is so smart that he can win with less talent. He had more than enough success at Arkansas to expand their recruiting to the next level, and it never happened.

Petrino is not the solution. Period.

No, you know Saban gets away with saying and doing anything.

Cuts kids off the team, Pulls a scholly from injured kids,dishonest,chews out the media and they cower to him,tells the football world how the game should be played,etc,etc...

Anyway, Saban had Candy at LSU.

Trooper is NOT a scumbag...he's just not the straight-laced stiff that "_____ people" thinks he should be.

He's a hell of a recruiter and a pretty good WR coach judging by the way he developed DA, TZach, Kodi, and Blake. The guys that haven't developed, part of that is their fault. Your desire to get better on your own should be greater than desire than the person coaching you to get you better...

Luper's RB have done nothing but produce. Nothing else. So Trooper and Luper have done there jobs...

If you look at it, our BIGGEST problems are at DL, LB, QB, and OL

Tommy Thigpen cant coach, he can only recruit...
Mike Pelton cant do either...
Scot Loeffler cant call plays...
Jeff Grimes, left to right, has RS Fr, Sr, Soph, Soph, True Fr....And the backups are RS Fr, RS Fr, Soph, True Fr, True Fr...not his fault.

Great post. And for the record I have no problem with posters who see it differently. I'm just glad we have a place on here now where all viewpoints can be laid out and discussed without having to deal with the trolling.

To each their own!

Not "bitching" about Saban. Chill, just giving my opinion.

I was just having a good open convo with Rig about Petrino being a douche (which I didn't argue).Just Saying Saban is a prick, but it doesn't matter, because he wins.

Isnt winning the ultimate ego feeder for a coach?

And he's not a "perrenial job-jumper"...he took Louisville as far as he could, he was not gonna win a NC there...he took the Atlanta job because they had Mike Vick and other good parts. Vick gets time and they gut the team to rebuild, why stay? He'd have been fired by now anyway...so he took the Arky job, has gone 5-7, 8-5, 10-3, 11-2 and got fired. So where's the job-jumping exactly??

Hear me out: it just seems that every time I turn around, one of our fans is bitching/complaining about Saban. I don't get it.

Saban might be a prick, I have no idea. But being a prick doesn't equal the epic douchiness of BMFP.

I am getting tired of the bitching about Trooper.

And even more specifically and to the point, I am getting really tired of Aubies picking up the dumbshit gump (sorry nite) talking points about us.

Those ignorant asshats often talk shite about our guys because they are good at what they do and they don't like it. Trooper is a PERFECT example. Great recruiter that the kids love. Good speaker as well with great stories about his family, growing up, and life. You notice now the idiots have piped down however since some seem to think he is not doing a good job coaching our WRs. The gumps do not see him as such a threat so they are not running their mouths about him nonstop.

Then when Aubies start bashing our own for no reason and just mirroring the gump talking points it is really starting to get annoying.

Pat Dye is another example. I see Aubies spouting off the gump talking points and slamming the best coach we have ever had. Infuriates me.

Well, I don't anything about that. I was just making a comparison.

We just have different opinions and I really have no problem with that. This place is for good open discussion between AU fans and I know we will not all agree on everything.

Are you kidding me? He's been a coach since 1985, thats 27 years, and the longest he's ever stayed on a job has been 4 years. Look at his coaching resume and see how many 1-2 year jobs he's had, he's a guy thats made a career of looking for the "next job". He's seemingly coached at 1/3rd of the programs in the country. What makes him a job-jumper is the way in which he operates: he is a complete lying sleeze-bag. There is absolutely no other way to go about it. This guy would go behind his own mother's back if it meant landing himself the next big job. He was a key conspirator behind Jet-Gate; going behind his own AD's back before the season was even over. He then spent the next few seasons secretly chasing other bigger-name jobs behind Louisville's back all the while telling everyone that Louisville was where he wanted to be. Five days after signing a contract extension with Louisville he was interviewing for the LSU job. In 2006 he signed a 10-year deal with Louisville, made a huge deal about his commitment, and literally 6 months later he was announced as the HC of the Atlanta Falcons. What happened in Atlanta? The dude quit halfway through the season hours after a game without telling anyone...not his players, not his coaches, and not even the ownership. They lost and he was on his way signing a contract with Arkansas. The guy left a NOTE as he disappeared in the middle of the night. This came after he had met with Arthur Blank and confirmed his commitment to the team. We all know what happened with Arkansas...Petrino's initial reaction to the scandal? More lies. Thats what he does: he lies.
