aubratgyrl 0 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I'm sure he is a good coach, but, I have to say, I am not interested in a liar or a cheater both of which he has done.....in his personal life and professional life. I'd rather be patient and get the right mix of coaching talent as well as a level of integrity that IS Auburn University. Just my .02 cents. War Eagle!

TheBlueVue 177 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 If Petrino to UK is for real the melt down in here is going to be cataclysmic. The man love has been palpable for weeks. Anything less than Petrino for some is going to be the announced and formal ending of Auburn football...LOL..to them its always been Petrino or a loser. Obviously, I believe there are others who can succeed at Auburn to a level that fans want and expect. Im in the distinct minority on that but only hope for the best for Auburn's future. What that future holds for Auburn is unknown for the moment but I am completely unwilling to succumb to the misguided logic that is being sold in here, which is, if we dont hire Petrino, Auburn will never win again. It's always easy to win arguments against a position that no one has taken. Congrats on your Strawman Boxing Title, big fella! it also easy to deny the malice and mean spirited arguments in support of a guy who has a proven track of leaving at the drop of a hat and lying to those who pay him.

Weegle777 78 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Hope I'm wrong, but it looks like we will be looking for another HC after the flop hire that this AD will make soon falls flat on his face and leads us to another 8-5 average over the next few seasons.

Sad part is, whoever comes in will actually do at worst a mediocre job. If that's the case, everyone will be so ecstatic at our abilities to tackle, intercept a pass here or there, and avoid an offsides or falsestart on 3rd down The majority will be touting this crew as the second comings of the Steel Curtain & StLouis Rams (2000).

You are firmly ensconced in the latter. The *worry* is that Auburn, if they do not hire BP, will do the typical Auburn hire of plucking someone from relative obscurity because he's a nice guy the good ol' boys can control. Because that seems to be our MO and that crap won't fly in this league anymore. Maybe back when we were up against guys like Ray Goff, Lou Holth, Gerry Dinardo, Sly Croom, Mike Shula, Ron Zook and so on that might work. Not anymore. You go get a predator or you get eaten against Saban, Miles, Spurrier, Richt, and the others in this league. Arky and UT will certainly do serious upgrades as well and Sumlin and Muschamp aren't pushovers. So I'm fine not getting BP if we get a guy like Jeff Fisher or Bob Stoops or someone of that stature. But my sights are set on something better than just a mere upgrade from Chizik. Scores of coaches are an upgrade from a 3-9 dumpster fire. Mere upgrades are for the Ole Misses of the football world. I expect to win championships and to stay in the mix for them regularly, not catch lightning in a bottle once then drop off a cliff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im mystified, I must confess, why you've taken my posts in such a seemingly personal way if thats truly your posiiton. Thats somewhat of a new take but thats fine with me. My position is clear and has never changed. I dont know whats going to happen but Im willing to patiently wait and see. Im not joining the mob thats ready to lynch the Auburn Admin before they have a clue whats going to happen. You seem to be willing to enable that attitude and thats fine if you believe that reflects the Auburn way. Im for letting the situation play out then assess the fruits of the hiring efforts after the fact, Whining incessantly,and an awful lot of that has occurred in this thread whether you'll admit it or not, about the failures of the process before it delivers the result, is childish, unbecoming of our fanbase and a supreme waste of bandwidth And let me add that, the biggest part of the projected failure is based on the assumption that BP is overlooked in that process and Im fine with overlooking him and therein is the big divide.
