re: Program with the better 5 year outlook....

BCSHog are you asking who a person would buy stock in between Southern Cal and Notre Dame for who's gonna be better 5 years from now? Since USC is about to receive recruiting sanctions, UCLA has a newly hired recruiting shark in Nuehisal, Carrol possibly looking to retire and since Notre Dame will probably hire a proven coach after this season, I would predict the power to start swinging back toward Notre Dame. But you are comparing a program who has their own TV contract. A program that was the first ever broadcast on TV. A program that has always been the nations premier Catholic school. Insert Tommy Tuberville up there and levy USC their rightful sanctions and I think ND will be able to play with Southern Cal in 5 years. Variables always come in to play where powerhouses eventually go back down to mediocre for a while and mediocre programs that have been powerhouses in the past eventually come back up. BCS you don't sound real intelligent in your argument. Arkansas does not have the potential to win that Auburn does. It's like saying Kentucky has as much potential as Georgia. It's not just logical.

Question:

Do you actually enjoy the taste of Houston's cock?

I say Arkansas. Petrino is going to do really good there.

You're new around these parts...but you're learning fast.

Let's call it a tie.

Auburn and Arkansas can lose to each other, just DO NOT drop any OOC games. You make the rest of us look bad...and that's what really counts.

That article should shed some light on what a "job hopper" is all about.

The comparison you make to Petrino's job hoping and Nutt's is sort of laughable. Nutt was in the same place for 10 years and would have most likely finished his career b/c he loved Arkansas b/c he was an Arkansan. It was his dream to coach the hogs. I know LSU and Nebraska may have courted him in consecutive years and I think his agent might have used that to leverage a raise and an illustration that 2 prominient programs wanted him. Let that be a lesson to you that 8-4 is perceived good enough at Arkansas that a bigger program would interview that coach for their job.

Petrino was not at his Atlanta job for 1 year he quit with 3 games left in the season. Nutt was at Boise state 1 full year. The point is not necessarily that I'm critical of Petrino for advancing his career it's that if you read the above article there's just no evidence to suggest that the first year he does decent, then follows that up with 9 wins or something, he's not going to be on the phone trying to get to the next job. Arkansas is a place where you hardly ever put together 3 real good recruiting classes in a row. He'll have an idea after a good year that he's losing alot of talent and he'll know he'll be back in a rebuilding mode the next couple years and instead of doing that and taking a chance on getting fired like fans wanted Nutt after 05, I see no reason why he wouldn't jump. He's a business man like Saban. He's not loyal to anyone. Guys like that will always strike while the irons hot.

Do you ever get tired of your job? would you like to do the same thing for more money in a cooler town particularly if you knew fanfare (or managment) was about to grow wary on you? Do you know people or do you stay in one job a few years and feel a desire to move on just for change of scenary when there is incentive involved? it's the same principle. We've got 3 to 5 more years with him. The year he reaches a cotton bowl, he's gone. and he probabaly won't stick around to coach the cotton. Just keep that in mind.

I would hope Ark would get better and I hope Petrino sticks around long enough to get the credit.

kinda pointless since I doubt either program will be very relevant in the next 5 years

Job hopping is an overused term.

The reality of working in America is that a person has to job hop in order to advance or move into better positions.

It is not just coaching but everyone.

In addition, why would any person give loyalty to a company/organization that does not reciprocate?

If you want to look at Petrino, at least be fair and account for the way Arthur Blank treated Reaves previously. Then tell me that Blank or the Falcons deserve anyone to be loyal to that organization.

In today's world, if a person does not look out for himself or his family nobody else will. Does that mean that Petrino did everything right? Certainly not. But at least have the maturity to understand that he was under strong pressure from an organization that has a history of cutting a head coach before a season is over. Petrino was also under strong pressure from Long to get his arse on the plane and come to Fayetteville or lose that opportunity.

It is easy for each of us to say what we would do without being in the line of fire. I doubt most would have handled it better.

It is a contract, contracts are made to be entered and then broken. That is why remedies are spelled out in contracts, that is why both sides hire expensive lawyers to negotiate and draft those things.

By leaving when he did Petrino opened himself up to alot of criticsm and the ability for alot of coaches to apply negative recruiting against him. Now, most coaches can say "he's a good coach, but he probabaly won't be your coach your entire career". That's a big reason I think it will prove to be a flop of a coaching hire. That Forde article along with every thing else will be pointed to for recruits by opposing coaches. You've also got Pitino saying "he always had a wandering eye".

I think there is evidence that suggests that he will leave though. Look at what coaches have historically done who had no ties to a particular school, who won after a few years and were offered by a bigger school particularly Petrino himself (nfl in that case). do they not take the better job 5 or 6 years later, about 80% of the time? The redshirting he's doing now with players already in the program have no bearing on his longterm outlook. He has recruited with short term outlook in my opinion b/c he has brought in so many unnecessary Juco players. Zamal Thomas for instance started at Lsu and was kicked off the team for breaking into a house. He's got 2 years left. You have to figure it will take him at minimum half a season to learn Petrino's offense. so basically at best you get a quality year 2 out of him, if he doesn't break into any more houses. After 2010, he'll be gone and you start all over again at that posisition with that scholly when you could of had a guy that had been in your program 2 years already if you would have recruited a little harder. So you do you want at that time? the linemen 3 years in the program with a junior and senior year remaining who knows the offense and has been in the weightroom? or taking a risk on a felon who'll give you 1.5 good year at best, then you start all over with a new player in 2011? It's pretty easy. He's done that with secondary and punter when that much Juco was not necessary. He did the same thing at Louisville and when he left, the bulk of the team was gone and they were young again. He's in the process of destroying the program, just like he did Louisville.
