I wouldn't mind seeing Auburn try to make a run at Kevin Sumlin if we didn't get Petrino. The Wiki says he is from Brewton, Alabama. Maybe he'd like to be back home? Far as I know aTm only pays him around 2 mill a year. Auburn could easily top that.

And so could aTm. They got loads of money and are crazy enough to spend it that way.

Strong would still be my number 1.

I would add that while a rumor I don't believe, Jimbo Fisher would also be a splash hire and one that I would be on board with as well.

I can't get on board with the Jimbo rumor.....to me he has underachieved in a weak conference, with according to all services with superior talent.  Seems like he loses some games he is not supposed to.  Personally I wouldn't like the hire.

Petrino, Strong, Patterson or Rhodes is my short list.  Give me any one of those four and I would be a happy man.

So, you want to bring the Air Raid offense to Auburn?

I thought the same thing. For years, Houston could run up the score but could not stop anyone. We all wondered if that would work in the SEC. If KS can get a defense, his offense looks pretty good.

But I still say it would not work at AU with the current QB (not named Wallace) and the current defense.

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

I can argue the same things about Petrino.

Fisher is 27–9 in year 3 which believe it or not was a rebuilding project after Bowden.

Not as high on Petrino either.  Loses some games he shouldn't.  Remember a couple of years ago after beating Auburn and losing by 3 to #1UF he gets his ass kicked by Ole Miss?  Was ranked #9 at Louisville, lost to South Florida by 30+?

Of course, Chiz loses every game, so it will still be an improvement.

Plus, I'm not going to beat anybody over the head and tell them to read the creed or anything, but the man is slimy.  Do you really think if he turns Auburn around in two seasons he wouldn't jump ship in two seconds if Texas or Oklahoma or the right NFL team (though I think that ship has sailed) came calling with hand fulls of cash?  He just strikes me as a disloyal, out for number 1 asshole.  If we hired him I would cheer for him, and I would defend the hire to Bammer's and their ilk, but I still think Patterson or Strong would be the better choice, both on the field and off it.

But Petrino would still win a whole lotta games.

I certainly wouldn't be against it. However, anything would top the abortion we've seen the last couple of years on offense, so its not something I'm dead set on. I also wonder how much of that Aggie O is Sumlin and how much of it is Kingsberry. If we hired a defensive minded HC again, I wouldn't mind seeing him get some strong consideration for OC.

Idealy though, I'd obviously like to see BMFP calling the plays. I think Auburn's personnel would fit his offense to a tee.

Count me in the camp of an offensive-minded HC. Those are much less likely to meddle with the defensive side of the ball. It seems defensive-minded HCs always want to get their pud skinners in the offense and that often leads to FAIL.

What is petrinos record the last three years? How many teams did he lose to where the other team had inferior talent?

Fsu > arky.

Petrino got more out of his players. The acc is a joke.
