Vol fans, if we do hire Gruden and you guys fire Dooley...I would march at the AD's house until he hired Petrino. He would have you guys winning the east immediately.
I would hate to see him back in the SEC b/c I'll always miss the guy, even if he had his issues. You would have a new fan if he was your coach.

I find that very unlikely that Tennessee would go in that direction. He can coach, but I can't see Petrino coaching at a major school any time soon.

He would be a hard sell to your administration and boosters for sure but, I don't doubt that when BP does get his next gig, he'll be a very changed man. I think you guys will need a coach who is a great rebuilder (Petrino just got ranked #2 in the nation in this category). You guys needing to rebuild may be why Gruden didn't bite? If, and I'll believe it when I see it, he comes to AR, he steps right into an amazing situation. A situation that will allow him to have great success from the start. Then he may leave us for Tenner later.

I just know this, if I had my choice between Petrino and Gruden, I would take Petrino b/c I know for a fact he is a great college coach in the SEC.
