Everyone else knows what he did was fricked up. You're just trying to back BP up cause he's your coach. And so are the other Arky fans.
Check this out, what Tubby did to Ole Piss was wrong. See, it's not hard to admit.

Don't let the facts get in the way of your uninformed opinion.

Myth #4: Bobby Petrino is a lying backstabber - The evidence for this is the now infamous incident in which Petrino spoke with Auburn officials regarding their head coaching job. At the time Tommy Tuberville was still under contract, Petrino was in his first season as Louisville's HC, and Petrino had just been Auburn's OC the year prior.

This has been the prime evidence for the numerous media catcalls about Petrino's history of screwing over "friends" like Tommy Tuberville. TF wants to bring a little reality to this. I hate to break it to you folks in the national media, but many of these coaches are not "friends".

Tommy Tuberville just fired his OC Al Borges who was the toast of the Plains a few years back when he had Jason Campbell, Cadillac Williams, and Ronnie Brown. Houston Nutt hired Gus Malzahn because he was pressured to do so due to Malzahn's success at the high school level, and Malzahn brought some of his top players with him. Nutt won a power struggle with Malzahn, which ended up sealing both of their fates at Arkansas. The list goes on and on.

People may not want to hear it, but coaches have to strike while the iron's hot. Petrino was a successful OC at Auburn. He left to become a successful head coach at Louisville. A big booster thought Petrino was the brains behind Tuberville's success and wanted him back. Auburn (or any SEC head job) is a better job than Louisville.

Additionally, many of the coaches in the SEC got their job under scrutiny. Quite a few people thought Phil Fuler stabbed his former boss (Johnny Majors) in the back when he initially got the Tennessee job. Nick Saban will never get Christmas cards from his former SEC school LSU or Don Shula after quitting Shula's beloved Dolphins to replace his son Mike at Alabama. Ole Miss hated it when Tuberville left their school to go to Auburn. Gator fans howled when Steve Spurrier showed up in Columbia. The list goes on and on.

More and more, it seems like getting an SEC head coaching job is like a game of "king of the hill". You have to claw and scratch to get there, and then you claw and scratch to stay there.

Yep, this isn't country club tennis were playing here folks. There are millions of dollars at stake for the head coaches and the universities that hire them.
