WarBlogle Continues His WarPath Against BP

[WiregrassTiger]

My only hope is that there actually IS a coaching search going on and BP or anyone else wasn't already the chosen one 6 weeks ago, as I suspect. If Pat, Bo and Mac give a guy the thumbs up, I'm prolly ok with him.

That's exactly it.  You can't say on one hand that Sullivan and Bo epitomize the "Auburn man" and then rip the choice if they do in fact, hire Petrino.  I think Pat Sullivan understands Auburn and he undersatnds coaching on this level.  He's only been in it for about 40+ years.

Pat Sullivan is the epitome of good character, imo. I used to see him in Auburn at girls basketball games, early on a Sat. morning and other sporting events--while he was a football coach. He is just a good and decent guy who will try to find good football candidates. And I trust his judgement. Dr. Flynt seems to think they won't consider BP, which I don't really think that he should have said in an interview. I like Dr. Flynt but lets let these guys do their job.

As a kid growing up in Opelika, one night I saw him out at the old mall off of Pepperrell Parkway outside the Bonanza. I of course was in awe of him and got him to sign an autograph and almost pooped in my jeans when he invited Terry over to meet me and sign the same thing. (blah-blah I am old-but I have seen all three Heisman winners play.

To this day I have never forgotten that.

Does any of the anti-Petrino group think he's more of an asshole, and morally inferior to Lord Saban? I'm genuinely curious. To me, having him across the state to be compared to makes Petrino Mr. Congeniality. We'd still have the "nice guy" on our side, relatively speaking.

Less of an asshole.  As far as I know Petrino just illegally hired and had affairs with his secretaries.  Supposedly Saban verbally abuses them in front of everyone.

So on both accounts they get fucked and get paid.

[GH2001]

I'm in the neutral category, maybe somewhat undecided. I don't like Petrino's personality. I think he's prob a jerk. I also think he's a great offensive coach and that he's never had a very good D as HC.

GH, curious to know if you think character should be considered when hiring the next HC? I'm not trying to be a smarty pants, just want to know how you feel about that.

In the context of this job, somewhat. But I also think you can contractually protect yourself from his flaws too. In this profession and the situation were in right now, I want the person most qualified for the job and that person would be the best coach with the best proven track record. As long as he does his job and well, I could careless how many times he watches porn and wacks off. I don't want to be best friends with him. I want him to build a good fb program. Last time I checked, not being an asshole and liking pussy wasn't part of the job description.

Hey he might like him some strange but at least he doesn't berate his secretaries.

Well my wife is out of town and Oh, yea Bobby will make a good coach.

I can drink to this.

One of the reasons that I'm not warm and fuzzy is based on one little incident that happened when he was at AU. I saw him get snippity with Tubbs on the sideline (actually saw it after it had happened, on TV replay). I don't remember the circumstances or anything else about it other than I thought he blew Tubbs off and they both were pissed.

That's crazy--I know. My point is that it's all about PERCEPTION. I perceive Bobby P to be an A-hole with a lot of baggage. His image is bad. Not just because of the affair but it's a conglomeration of stuff. But, if he's the dude and he wins games, helps our guys grow, keeps us outta trouble: I can learn to like the guy.

The one thing that I feel that we need to understand is that if he is the man, we better be ready to pay the price. I'm talking about the heat we will take for hiring him. I think it will be intense.

I would counter by pointing out that CTT likes to slap his assistants upside dey heads on the sideline during games. On teh worldwide HD TV's.

I seriously doubt it will be nowhere near as severe as many AU fans are making it out to be.

How the hell could it POSSIBLY be worse than All Cam All Cheatin 24/7?

How the hell could it POSSIBLY be worse than All Cam All Cheatin 24/7?

And at this point, seriously, who gives a fuck?

I look at it this way. Our rivals created this monster, with the never-ending barrage of completely unwarranted slander. Unwittingly, you numbed us to this shit. I'm all outta fucks to give. The image protection angle might have carried an ounce of weight before November 2010, but no longer. It's consistently proven to be bullshit. It's become obvious we're not just being paranoid, they really are out to get us. I've accepted it at this point. So fuck you, rest of the college football world. Time to embrace the image we've been assigned anyway.

That shit tops the cake. Anything else is plain childs play.

ANY great legal mind could surely see that this was simply a freaking headset adjustment that went afoul. That AND CTT was trying to catch the young assistant to stop him from falling. Those fields are crowned pretty steep now-a-days.
