If we couldn't get Gruden, would you be okay with Petrino?.

Yes very interesting fatboy the pet will not be TN HC sorry when grudens hired please go back to ur bammer board

Oh you are very mistaken my friend. I am a long way from a Bama fan. Born and raised in Harriman Tennessee. I don't want Petrino either. Been a Vols fan since about 1959.

If you think that is why people don't want Petrino, you need to dig a little deeper. Check out the mess he left in Louisville and then in Atlanta. Any coach that abandons his team is a scumbag and I don't want him here and I sure as hell don't want a man like that representing our university.

Maybe being an alumni does affect my opinion, but hiring a man like that, to me, is a disrespect to those that made the Tennessee program. I wonder if General Neyland would ever endorse a man like Petrino to head the football program at the University of Tennessee.

VERY well said! Exactly how I feel! :good!:

I stated a few days ago I suspected just under half would accept Bobby P. I wa wrong and looking right now it's right at 25per for. I am a huge fan of the hire but because I now see it might divide the fan base even more I am for Charlie Strong before him. So here is my list.


1) gruden
2) strong
3) petrino

Anybody else gets the job and I am scared!!!

Heck no on petrino. Someone has a quote in their sig that perfectly describes how I'd feel about having him lead the Vols.

Not just no but HELL NO! I would have to keep this avi for as long as he were here! It would be embarrassing.

 

[Meachem]

No

No.

Not an alum. It was easier to just marry one.

I just don't think Petrino is far enough removed from the controversy for a mother to let him have her son for four years.

The real fallout would be if mothers wouldn't let their daughters go to Tennessee.

Gonna go out on a limb and say the two subsamples --at least here at VN-- aren't statistically different. @ Vercingetorix @ GaVol
