If that first 11m didn’t make you excited of what can happen if boosters just bought an excellent DC for Bobby, then I don’t know what you want.

What feelings will manifest in the second half when we are down by 20+

We won’t be. We will lose by one score like always.

The same as all year. We don’t have a SEC caliber defense and they were made even softer by T-Will and company. They still aren’t SEC-caliber but, at least now, Bobby has them playing hard and they look ‘less’ lost most of the time.

If only the game were only 11 minutes.

After the first 11 our offense has been completely inept.

I said it in the first half of the first quarter of the game thread.

Harold Perkins will have a highlight game against us. He is only worth a shite against us,

Bobby doesn’t need an elite DC. He will hire a yes-man because he plays a hand in everything that goes on with the team.

What he needs and doesn’t have right now is a competent QB

We basically have moved the ball at will except for when Taylen decides to give them the ball

That’s on him. Quit trying to make a super star, and make us a Tyler Wilson or Brandon Allen.

4 drives deep into opponent territory in the first half.

On the drives we didn’t, we had a an early down interception, and a 15 yard penalty

I don’t understand how anyone believes that BMFP has earned the permanent

I never thought he should be expected to earn it by taking over a Shittman team midseason

Turns out not choking is part of it. Maybe don't turn the ball over on the first possession at the 24 and we could've kicked the FG and ended up winning this thing.

I'm noticing that the Petrino haters are going to be against him no matter what happens aside from an undefeated season from the point of him taking over, and the Petrino lovers are going to excuse any and every shortcoming.

What exactly IS this guy's fault? We scored 15 offensive points at home. Every game he's lost since taking over has been a one-score loss outside of Auburn, which was one of the top two complaints we had against Pittman. The defense - under Petrino's hand, to his earned credit - had their best game of the year against P4 competition.

Since taking over, BP's vaunted offense lost the turnover battle to Tennessee, Auburn, and LSU by three turnovers in each game. Three of the five games.That isn't normal and if he isn't going to fix it or make an appropriate change, he should at least face some consensus backlash. The defense's performance matters and it does exonerate him of a few things, but offense is supposed to be his bread-and-butter and we keep turning the ball over more often than our opponent - sometimes significantly more often. Does the defense get all the blame when our drive somehow gets flipped to the opponent's drive?

On the plus side, since the season has looked virtually identical to when Pittman was in charge, I think the conspiracy theorists can lay to rest the hypothesis that Petrino was somehow sabotaging him to wrest control. Turns out we just suck that much and BP was never not trying his hardest.

I love Bobby Petrino and appreciate what he did 15 years ago.




....But this offensive roster is his. He recruited and coached ALL of them. The turnovers are on him and him alone. Not Sam Pittman.

If you mean this season? Then yes. These games mean next to nothing to me regarding supporting him as the next coach.

It would be different if I could see any evidence that his scheme doesn’t work anymore. I don’t. I see a QB missing wide open guys, throwing INTs when we are moving the ball and have other guys open on the same play. And until today I’ve seen a defense that rarely shows up.

2 things made Petrino great:

his offensive scheme, which still checks all the boxes for me.

And his OCD running every aspect of the program, which I would not expect to see results from during a midseason takeover

That’s goofy. Pittman (and you could throw in HY) created the NIL situation that all these players were recruited within.

Petrino banked his tenure as OC on Taylen Green by getting him paid $800 thousand.


Bobby recruited Mike Washington and Cam Shanks.


Bobby owns all these fumbles and interceptions. They're his players and he coaches them in practice every day. That's how this shite works.




I hope Bobby wins the last two games. Unfortunately, if the defense ever forces a punt, Taylen will throw a pick six (and that's if the RBs don't fumble it first).

That’s probably a budget QB price. Bobby chose Taylen, but what were his other options? It’s not like he built a roster preparing for Taylen to takeover. He came onboard and had to get a QB immediately

Time to bench most starters and see what we have on the bench if there is anyone worth keeping for next season

You were paid to do a job, you failed. You're fired, on to the next kid. Pack your shite and head to App State or UCA
