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.

The thing with Petrino's personality issues is that there is absolutely no guarantee that with success, he will remain a changed man. People are always contrite with humility, but success to that type of personality is like crack. His issues are characterological, and he'll need more than a couple of years of good PR for people to trust him.
