Good news... also further validates that Smart has NOT been hired.

Sorry to poop on your party but PM actually said BP already spoke to search committee on Monday with a 35 minute cordial phone convo but he is not thought to be in the mix for the job.

Probably just satisfying the BP supporters...

They posted over on the bunker that he had a "35 minute phone conversation and is not thought to be a realistic candidate". I haven't seen the original post though.

You forgot to add this...

Knowledgeable sources say the interview was cordial, but Petrino is not thought to be in the mix to replace Gene Chizik, who was fired on Nov. 25 after a 3-9 season.

They talked to him just to say they talked to him.
They know many fans are going to be pissed when he isn't hired, so they are acting like they considered him.

They are speaking to him just to humor the masses.

This is what he said:

quote:

The committee searching for Auburn's next head football coach had a 35-minute telephone interview Monday with former Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino. Knowledgeable sources say the interview was cordial, but Petrino is not thought to be in the mix to replace Gene Chizik, who was fired on Nov. 25 after a 3-9 season.




Yay

Just so you know how delusional some Auburn fans are, a rumor going around the booster circle that Kirby Smart has been offered the job, accepted, and will hire Petrino as his OC with the condition Petrino stays for 3 years.

Jay Tate:

Petrino did speak to the committee later in the day Monday by conference call.
He thought it was going to lead to a face-to-face interview.
It didn't and, we're believe, it won't.
The call lasted more like 15 minutes with no serious, relevant questions asked.
Petrino was told to keep his mouth shut and not discuss the interview with anyone else.
He didn't discuss it with anyone else, which is leading to serious questions about how this information got out.
Petrino's supporters are disgusted. The fervor is unlike anything I've seen in 15 years at Auburn.
