Realistic Options

So, I'm perusing ITAT (the old site, not that abortion of a Fox production they're trying to push on us) and the Petrino debate has finally found its line of demarcation: the Creed.

The holier than thou crowd cites the Creed and says that Bobby is a morally bankrupt, suitcase packing, volleyball player schtupping, meanie.

The pro-BP crowd says, Fuck it. Let's win football games.

I have a couple of thoughts on this silly debate:

1) BP lives and breathes the part of the Creed calling for "work, hard work."
2) Tubs once said that he'd leave Oxford in a pine box, but is not castigated by the Creeders.

I am firmly in the camp of wanting BP to be our next HC. I do not think he is damaged beyond salvation and I think he would be much more circumspect in his actions now that he has lived through the consequences/humiliation.

I have been one not so high on Petrino for this very reason but the more I think about it, I can't say
I disagree with you. One, he is a helluva coach and two, I would have to think that his errors would
make him that much more aware and focused. If that is the case, watch out!

It's like you type it and then I say it...and then I try to type it myself but forget what we both said. So, I type something else.

AU1 sent me an article on BP. I deleted it and hell, it may have been posted here. Don't care, though. It made me take a second look at the guy with regard to discipline on and off the field. I read it wishing we had someone...anyone..like that. Obviously, his discipline off the field was lacking but hey, who's gonna' cast the first stone and all that? Someone is going to snap the guy up. And that someone is going to win, quickly.

A. Can we fire an AD and head coach at the same time?

Penn State did it. You bring in an interium - outside consultant maybe - to do the HC search. Then you look for an AD - prevents cronyism a la Jacobs - Chiz too.

Funny, Chip Kelly can't coach, but Petrino is our savior? And you base these opinions on what? Both are offensive minded coaches, and both pay little attention to defense. Kelly has at least won his own conference, Petrino has not sniffed an SEC title. He won Conf. USA and the Big East once each. Whoopty friggin' do. Every Petrino fan says "he'll recruit better at Auburn". Will he...based on what evidence? Or will he take the approach he took at Ark. and just recruit offense, and let the defense have the scraps?

I posted his records in another thread. There are as many holes in his resume as anybody out there, and that's not counting the "creed issues".

On the plus side for Petrino, for him to take our job, he'd have to be an arrogant fuck to weather the shit storm of media, and that's the kind of guy I'd like to have in place. If he's all you Petrino Pimps think he is, then we might actually be able to out asshole the midget asshole across the state.

I think we're getting Petrino. Don't know why, just "that feeling".

Maybe it's the misdirection tactic at play, but that's what I'm sensing.

I hope we can land some superstar out of the NFL, but that seems highly doubtful.

I was originally on board with an up-and-comer, but I think that's no longer an option considering just how low we've sunk.

I've always kind of thought of him as a dick, so it's going to be a tough pill to swallow. Maybe it won't be so bad if he's our dick. And at least we can find solace in the fact that he's not as much of a dick as king dick across the state.

I don't understand the big deal with Petrino.

He won 2-3 games that he shouldn't have over 4 years, and put some points on the board while doing it. He gives 0 fucks about defense. I'm not sure how well that philosophy would hold up in the same division as LSU and Alabama. Never won the SECW or a NC while at Arky. Saban owns him. Not sure how he would recruit with a viable in-state rival. Auburn could certainly do worse than Petrino. Not saying he's just an absolutely terrible coach or anything. Just not sure if you guys should settle just because he may be the easiest to get.

It pains me to say, that I agree with the goat humper.

It's like I say it two weeks ago, and you retype it.
