Rumors on Louisville Boards - Petrino discussion (merged)

[bpalmer28]

If yall don't recall, UK upset Louisville last year which, to me, is a bad omen.

Nah. I'll pass on Mr. Petrino.

Body of work... gotta look at any coaches body of work.

Body of work... gotta look at any coaches body of work.

He looks at all female coaches body of work if you look at his history....

 

[bpalmer28]

Are y’all obsessed with winning or not? I’m confused. What do you want in a head football coach?

 

[Fijivol72]

We aren't asking for a pastor for our congregation, we need someone who can coach the game and he damn well can.

 

[volfanhill]

the guy had an affair. he didn't cover up rape and lord knows what else. he's human and he's a hell of a coach. no bs and goes for the throat he's not my first or even 4th choice but i would take him.

He didn't just have an affair . He opened up the university to numerous potential lawsuits. It's not like he nailed a waitress at Applebee's. He would have survived an affair.

Preach it....

 

[VOLnMiami]

I really do not care what he did in the past, We have all made mistakes...The man can coach and coach well..We are not going to church with the guy we are hiring him to win football games....Period...And he will...Oh yes he will...I have no doubt if he is the guy he will have a chip on his shoulder to prove to everybody he can win in the SEC again...I would fully support his hire....But prefer Chip Kelly.

 

[Cdywolfe]

He's who I wanted the last time. Probably not my top choice this time but we could certainly do worse.

 

[TennesseeStudVOL]

Hope it's true...dude is heck of a coach!!!...GBO!!!

 

[LSU-SIU]

He's got to be one of the strangest coaches around. Little class. Not a lot of love around the country for this type of guy.

Petrino is overrated as ****!!! He has never won anything of significance. How do you lose to UK... ever?
Look at his record this year. He's not that good.

 

[MaTaLa]

That would be our Rick Barnes

 

[GAVOL1973]

Simply as this he could beat Bama......I'm game

 

[Matt2496]

Body of work... gotta look at any coaches body of work.

We need an elite coach like Kelly, Gruden, Patterson, or Franklin.

Bobby Petrino is not what I consider an elite coach.

well said.

he'd be on a mission, and if he could win 10 games at Louisville and Arkansas, Nattys would be within reach with him at UT.

 

[Doc_Vol]

Maybe he could keep Lyle on staff as recruiting coordinator

 

[Backwards K]

Just like Mike Leach, he makes losing entertaining. That's about it.

 

[VolsinVA]

Sweet Baby Jesus.....

Hell NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Cdywolfe]

He's definitely a roll of the dice. But at this point, I'd much rather roll the dice on a guy with a history of winning then on some guy I'm gonna have to google to find out who he is.

 

[GRN1926]

Haha we won't touch Kelly because we are scared of his baggage but we'd go get Petrino?

TN needs to grow a pair

 

[LSU-SIU]

More like a dumpster dive. Classless comes to mind and he isn't going to turn over a new leaf.

 

[vol445]

I normally wouldn’t do this but since it’s already started. I think it’s John 8:7

Then they reminded Jesus that adultery was punishable by stoning under Mosaic law and challenged him to judge the woman so that they might then accuse him of disobeying the law. Jesus thought for a moment and then replied, “He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone at her.”

That should not hold us back from hiring him

 

[I Love Lamp]

This guy is definitely not one of my top choices but anyone saying he is overrated must be forgetting his first stint at Louisville and before he was fired from Arkansas.

He had some outstanding teams at two schools that are not traditional powerhouses.

Those Arkansas teams with McFadden and Felix Jones would compete with Alabama now.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Kind of how Saban quit on the Dolphins.....

If Saban and Petrino are the same in this regard, then Hurd is the same as any player that transfers.

Saban "quit" after the season was over; Petrino quit on the Falcons with 3 games left and just left a note to his players in their lockers.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Exactly.

Funny how some of our fans claim Kelly to being an selfish prick with baggage when Petrino is 10x worse.

Makes no sense to me whatsoever.
