Fans holding out hope Bobby P will save us as HC in waiting, live in fantasy land and probably vote Democrat.

Yearning for a return to an idealized version of the past that is long gone seems more like a trait of the other side of the spectrum, BUT I completely agree with the sentiment. Even if Petrino did become head coach, he just wouldn't do well in today's environment. He seemed to dislike recruiting back in the day, so I can't even image how much he would struggle with it in today's NIL world where you have to pamper most players 365 days out of the year unless you want them to spontaneously up and leave. We saw how well Saban acclimated to being a head coach in today's world. You gotta be as much of a high-energy salesman as a great football coach.

If we're looking for a savior for the future, it ain't gonna be him.
