Wouldn't Petrino be going against Auburn's values of small town family that they love to sell.


AU needs to quit selling bible thumping morality IMO. And I think we will now. We didn't sell it under Tubs or Tator Tot and certainly not under Dye.

Petrino is not an attractive name IMO

It would look terrible/slightly funny to see AU hire a coach with his recent background amidst the investigation going on right now.

Ruthless though, I like it

For pretty much nothing that may get us a slap on the wrist at worse.

Unlike bama who is guilty every time the NCAA bothers to take a look.

He will have a much better chance at beating his nemesis, Les Miles, while coaching AU as opposed to Arkansas.

Assuming he gets a decent DC.

Hard to argue with what he did a UL and UPig. Doubt he gets the nod at AU but based on his on field track record he would be competitive. The NCAA sanctions are coming to AU and the sales job is not so easy as it once was. UT and AU are both looking at a couple of years more before you can be relevant. A couple years of isolation may give Petrino a chance to rebuild his rep.

This is really what it comes down to. Most believe Petrino is the best coach available. Not all, but I believe it is safe to say it is a consensus opinion.

So what matters to AU?

What rival fans say on message boards and in the media?

Or winning football games?

It really is that simple to me.

If you don't care about defense, beating Bama, or winning championships, he is the right guy for you.

^This coming from an Arkansas fan sums up Petrino but Auburn fans think an old dog will suddenly learn some new tricks

The thing is the Volleyballer was the last in a long line of Petrino going back to his time at Louisville when he was continually interviewing for other jobs, including Auburn, while he was the HC. I have no doubt that Peteino would find a new and embarrassing way to screw Auburn before it was all said and done

He was .500 against Les while at Arkansas.

He was .00000000000000000000000000 against Saban

.025 in moral victories.

Petrino is a piece of garbage, but he runs a pretty clean program.

The vollyeballer was just the one he was caught with up here, by no means was it the only one, but he did not hire the rest to be on his staff and give large out of pocket cash bonuses up front...

Yeah, just the normal secondary violations and the occasional B&E, DWI, or Possession by one of his players.

Screams Class, with a sparkle of by the book.

I'm fricking with you, but seriously I'm not hating on you & wanting Petrino by all means I hope you pick him up. I heard he likes long rides on his Bikes and a nice sunset
