What About Petrino?

[Vato]

Something tells me this is who we are going to hire.

At least he won the bourbon bowl...

 

[JOEY'S ALL VOL !!!]

Eh ... not that it is completely out of the question, but aside from being a horses ass Petrino is also a control freak. I can't see him and Pruitt meshing and getting along at all, so I'd say that scenario is highly doubtful at best.

I know he's kind of a scumbag but the man knows offense and I would definitely take him over Friend. He has seemed to have kept his act clean for some time and I have always loved his system. He also damn good at developing QBs. I know most here probably won't agree but I think we could do a helluva lot worse. Personally I'd love to see him running our offense.

Come and get me.

You asked for it DD

Are you prepared to be underwhelmed by the OC hire, after all we are Tennessee, right?

 

[Special Ed]

I'd love to see the Art Briles offense at UT.

Petrino is past his prime. Even great coaches lose the fire, edge, or whatever you want to call it. Spurrier, Fulmer, or Lou Holtz.

 

[rocketskates]

Maybe with a no motorcycle clause in his contract

I've said it before hell no. If we are so determined to hire a douchebag why not just go ahead and get Urban Meyer

 

[GTBATV]

If Freeze has trouble passing the sniff test, no way Petrino even gets on campus. But I still laugh every time I see him in that neck brace.

 

[Zues1]

Was he spotted shopping for an new HD in Maryville?

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Urban Meyer spotted in East Town Mall.

If they won't hire Freeze on moral grounds, what makes you think they would Petrino?

His name popped into my head, but I didn't have enough nerve to mention him....
The only thing for me would be his apparent ego. Could he "work for someone else at this point in his career? Could two headstrong personalities, like he and Pru both seem to have, work??? Just wondering....

Just go offer Lane Kiffin 1.5M a year and be done with it. He has a love for the Vols, has worked with Pruitt, can recruit, and can coach up an average offense and QBs.

I'd love to see offense at Tennessee!

Let's make it a little more interesting.

Petrino or Friend

Who you got?

You realize he left OC at Bama for his current job and is maybe a year or two away from a power 5 HC job, right?

Never happen bc of how many he pissed off when he left BUT I'd love to see the message board if that happened.

I normally like your posts, but it appears you are looking for anyone with coaching ability but zero morals at all. Why?

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Overrated and a nasty person.

He's kept his nose clean for many years now. He did some scummy things but it seems like he turned his personal life around. I'll never condone what he did but he fell hard and paid the price.

 

[jwilliams]

Why isn't everyone shouting for Jim Chaney?

 

[GreyWolf1129]

Those who think Petrino might be a good option...Art Briles should be in play...or Lane Kiffen will ever set foot in the home locker room at Neyland Stadium again need to stop eating mushrooms they find in their yard.

Never going to happen.

Go Vols.

 

[GreyWolf1129]

Why isn't everyone shouting for Jim Chaney?

Because he's one or two play calls away from being #2 in the CFP. Why would he come here, as the OC, to try to figure out how to beat Vandy in Knoxville next year?

Seriously.....

But things are a dumpster fire at Louisville and the team has been BAD since they lost the once in a lifetime QB to the pros.
