re: Why do the arky faithful think that Bret is better than Petrino?

2 Bowl wins came over 6-7 Texas and 6-7 Kansas State

To take over when he did and consistently improve each season is phenomenal. The SEC west has never been better in its history than it has been over the last 5 years. Not even close. Not to mention he has embarrassed LSU and Ole Miss the last 2 seasons. He could do better against Bama but it's not like any other team could say they've done much better aside from Ole Miss in that department. If he losses to teams like Florida next season, then I'll be worried.

As I noted in another thread, when you start 0-13 the only way you can trend is LINK

He took over a team that still had a bunch of talent and went 3-9 in his first year. And yes, he has beaten Ole Miss in the past two seasons (Last year because of the luckiest play in the history of Arkansas football) as well as LSU, but wins like that are almost invalidated by losses to Toledo and Texas Tech.

You say that you'll be worried if he loses to teams like Florida next season. Just keep in mind that he has already lost to teams that are worse than Florida (not a knock on Florida, y'all whipped our a$$ last season lol)

Is that play really even legal under the 4th down fumble rule? If that had been ruled illegal, Ole Miss would have gone to the CCG instead of the Tide due to the head to head win and Alabama probably would have gotten shut out of the CFB playoff. Ole Miss still couldn't have gotten to the playoff themselves due to the Memphis loss. Yup if that absurdly lucky play doesn't happen then the SEC would probably have been shut out of the playoffs. That would have made this whole website go nuts with rage. Although most non SEC fans would be overjoyed.

Yeah the play was legal. Since he passed the ball backwards, and did not actually fumble the football, other players were able to advance the football.

I can tell you are an Ole Miss alter as they are the only people dumb enough to ever believe that was an illegal play.

Hard to do that when you lose 52-0 to Bama.

Bobby petrino took over at Arkansas when the following players were all seniors in the state of Arkansas


Greg child's
Chris's gragg
Joe Adams
Marius wright
Dennis johnson
Tyler wilson

It's revolutionist history but none of those players were considered the best in sta

Deanthony Curtis was the best player in state, a running back. Jim young blood his QB was also committed

Every last one of those players had already committed exept wilson, who Houston nutt simply refused to offer and was a Tulsa commit, and Joe Adams who was a USC commit and all we had to do is tell him he could play WR.

Throw in Loyd Carr getting canned for the one coach in the county that refused to run a traditional offense for Ryan mallett and you have Bobby petrino.

Pros
- there is not a better offensive mind in football
- he can spot talent. Travis Swanson, Alvin Bailey and Jericho Nelson were not highly recruited plsyers.
- despite what everyone will say, he u derstood offense to the point that he was a better d cord than anyone he could hire. If we were within 14 points at half against anyone not LSU or florfia we were going to win because Bobby was gonna do his x and o shite and scheme a way to stop te other offense. He made Sherman look like a fool his last year when we got the fat but can waving his shirt but lol


Cons
- despite being a brilliant offensive mind, he's extremely predictable. Had LSU done 5 fricking mins of film study they would have seen that 4th and 3 to Joe Adams coming a mile away at the very least, known a play action pass for the juggular was coming. I've literally never seen him run te ball on forth and short! PA bootleg running back in the flat te the middle WR deep.
- has an obsession with fat slow running backs
-Runs a blocking scheme that makes dun game blocking much more complex than it should be
-a prick of the highest order which effects recruiting
- turnover rate. 7 players graduated from the 2010 class.
- teams are generally soft
- can't get good assistants, besides Herrick to work with him


Bert is the type of guy that was born go be a leader. Is he the best defensive mind, no. Is he the best offensive mind, no. But he knows who made and they want to work with him. He has an elite ability to spot and recruit coaching talent.


Only 3 players from the 2013 class has left by not going to nfl

Under Petrino when we played bama and LSU half the time we lost the first time e first time we got really hit. We lost the 2010 game the second Dre layer out Marius on that crossing pattern on the first possession.

We might not win every game but it won't be be wise were scared or not physical enough. 2014 bama game was old man fricking football

He's puts a fricking vice grip on recruiting in state. He got saban sending out "conditional offers" hoping to get him wasting time recruiting marginal prospect hrs lost 1 player in 3 years he's offered in state

Neither are bad really. Petrino is like Larry brown and Bert is like doc rivers without his shitty son on the team.

Nutt left petrino DJ Williams (RS freshman), Jerry Franklin (RS freshman), ray Dominguez (RS freshman), demarcus love (sophomore) Jonathan lugis(senior) ,Malcolm Shepard. (Junior)


All played in the NFL , actually played lol. Jerry still does.


Petrino left Bert with Trey flowers (Jr) Darius philon ,(RS freshman) and Jonathan Williams (sophomore)

you want to know how I know your a flaming fool

He's a better man than Petrino. I don't know if he's a better coach but I think he'll turn out to leave a fuller cupboard for the next coach when he eventually leaves (even tho he is fat). Petrino recruited for Petrino style football which is fine until it comes out he's banging an employee and gets fired, then it's not so nice for the follow up act especially when you toss in the JLS season in between.

That said, at this point in time, I wouldn't trade him now for any of the other sec coaches unless you took off 15 or so years of Saban.
