Hell, most Ole Miss fans don't even believe this.



I can think of about 0 Ole Miss fans who would trade, FWIW.

What has Petrino done to make you love him so much? If basically anyone is better than Hootie, what makes BP so special?

An Orange bowl victory over WF who Nutt lost too last season.....

NFL experience which was not all his fault that it went bad.. see Michael Vick

One of the best coaches in the nation as far as winning percentage....

Gets offered and will continue to be offered lots of major college jobs each and every season based on his reputation alone.

Ask UT or AUB if they would rather have Petrino then the clowns they have?

Considered a top offensive mind in all of football by...well....everyone.

Kicked arse at Louisville.

Extremely professional.

Has brought our football program into the 21st century.

Recruited better in his first 2 years than Nutt ever did in 10.

He'll never climb a latter or sob like he just lost his first born after a big win.

He doesn't constantly talk about how "precious wins are in this conference."

He doesn't blame players for losses.

He doesn't blame other coaches for losses.

In the same vein, he takes blame, something Nutt could never do.

He doesn't ask players to move their relative's funerals, on the contrary, he gives them all the time they need.

He doesn't take snaps from recruits in his office.

He's developed more QB talent in two years than Nutt did in ten.

He hired a BCS coach to coach nothing but special teams....Nutt has his special ed buddy Shibest running them.

Petrino doesn't scream at national TV analysts on national TV begging for Heisman votes.

Petrino doesn't antagonize fans he doesn't agree with.


I could keep going for hours, but you get the point.

Billy Mays:
That's easy. It's called a conditioned human response (on a massive scale) resulting from an operant called negative reinforcement, i.e., removal of an aversive stimuli (that's Hootie) in order to facilitate a desired response, i.e., renewed belief that we can be better than our previously confined and restrained, Hootie-defined potential. It puts us in a state of renewed spirit, hope, and joy...kind of like one would feel after getting out of prison and getting rid of the ball and chain one carried around the whole time they were there.
