Big, big fan of the site. Read it multiple times a day. I feel like I’m missing something with Petrino. Off the field issues aside, I think Kentucky should go after him full press. However, Auburn...

You are absolutely right in saying that we are all imperfect. It is true, also, that everyone’s sins are equal. Not everyone, however, consistently stabs everyone in his way in the back the way...

Just too dangerous of a hire. He wins, I get it, but he has made a loser out of every program that has dealt with him. And for ADs its not about winning, its about keeping their position, much like in...

How much do you anti petrino people get paid to go around the internet and spew bs ?

I have to disagree with the idea Petrino is worth the risk. He is a good coach but he leaves nothing but lies and deceit in his wake. There are other good coaches that can be had. Petrino does not...

I think you make a good point in that there are ways to mitigate the risk but I also think that when you bring someone into your program with a well known history of deceit and corruption like Petrino,...

@jMals I disagree. I’m from Kentucky, my wife is from Knoxville. I think he is a much better fit at UT than UK. They are so desperate for wins and excitement at this point, I’m really surprised...

@KY_Daktari I agree that if I were a Kentucky fan, I wouldn’t want him either. I just meant his style would be a better fit at Kentucky. UK has more obstacles to overcome I think than UT to get back to...

The last time anyone tried to go with Arkansas’ Sloppy Seconds, Ole Miss ended up with Nutt. Anyone else wanna go for it?

@jMals @KY_Daktari Mitch needs to grow a pair and get this done. He’ll be the one without a job in another 3 years.

Like I said to another post, Mitch needs to grow a pair and hire Petrino. It’s a win win situation.

@KY_Daktari @jMals Venom? Cynicism and sarcasm were the goals. I think Petrino is a jerk, too, and up until a month ago I wouldn’t have hired him for any job, either. But with teams jumping...

@I4Bama And if that’s why ADs are steering clear of him, that’s perfectly legit. But I bet some of these guys are more worried about the bad press than they are his trustworthiness. Thanks for...

@John at MrSEC @jMals Hi John, Fair enough. Long day, getting sick and a bit crabby colored my reading more than it should. Going back, I see your point. My apologies. I would go more for the,...

An AD would have to be more desperate than a sailor on a 4-hour pass to cozy up to Petrino!

I don’t advocate stoning him, but I would have to be very desperate to hire him.

@John at MrSEC @KY_Daktari @jMals The fact that John could not call the actress by name (nor can I for that matter – Kristen Stewart?) mitigates in his favor.

I don’t think Hart would be desperate enough to go and hire Petrino. Remember Hart is dealing with a lot of issues merging the woman’s and men’s athletic departments, including a couple of lawsuits are...

I don’t think that Petrino would be or should be the top choice of any AD, there is just too much to lose if the hire doesen’t work out. However, if I couldn’t land one of the coaches on my short list,...

Like many others, Dave Hart has yet to give me a warm, fuzzy feeling. But I will say this for the man, he does not seem afraid to make a decision.

@John at MrSEC @KY_Daktari @jMals John, any thoughts on if Petrino can really break the ceiling and get, say, Tennessee not only to winning but consistently competing for titles without a defense...

John, has your attitude toward Petrino changed since he’s no longer Arkansas’ coach? Sure seems that way. I couldn’t read your entire piece, but I agreed with most of it. The one thing I’d disagree...

@JarrenBlake Art Briles is probably a name that deserves a lot more attention. The job he’s done at Baylor is admirable and I would imagine a promotion is coming sooner or later. He also did a pretty...

@rogun First, I didn’t get involved in the stone-throwing when he was at Arkansas. I said there was no way he could be retained by a boss that he’s lied to and a school that he’d embarrassed....
