Tee_It_Up_AU_TIGERS 5 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I am not promising you Petrino won't overcome all of this and be successful in the future. Perhaps he will. This is Auburn. Auburn is a power. Petrino is a risk we don't need to take at this point. Risks are for the Kentucky's and Vanderbilt's of the world. Then why did we hire Chizik?

You don't think we need to take a risk right now?!? Are you kidding me? Let's just keep doing what we are doing. We got the sec right where we want them. This makes sense to you?!?

Wrights_Mill_Road 2 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Petrino is the best, most proven hc that we can realisticially get and yet people don't want him.

Briles and Patterson have coached in the 2nd best conf in the country no idea what you are talking about and Peterson has won BCS bowls in freaking Idaho. Petrino is an obv slam dunk sans the scandal but it is a big one and presents risk that those other guys don't possess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friedchickenman 0 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I haven't read these 151 pages+, but IF we are not able to land a serious big name, like Gary Patterson, Jeff Fisher, or Jimbo Fisher. Then this guy, logically has to come next. Charlie Strong is not the guy to get us to the next level, Gus Malzahn while having a good first year, I don't think he has the experience to take on a head gig in the SEC and I think we need a clean break from the Chizik era. That being said, Gogue & Jacobs probably won't make the hire, because Gogue is more concerned about the image of the university then winning football games. I'm not saying Gogue is entirely wrong in that, but I will say how does our image look if we're fielding 5-6, 6-6, 7-5 teams like we probably would with a second rate coach compared to a Bobby Petrino. People criticized Alabama when they hired the morally bankrupt Nick Saban, how did that turn out for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he did, our program would be a helluva lot better than it is right now and we'd have some wins over teams that we aren't competitive with now. "It would hurt Auburn's reputation". Auburn's reputation, like it or not, is a school that needs to go buy another quarterback. Read Espn and yahoo if you want to know Auburn's rep. I'm all for hurting it. "He's a liar and won't be able to recruit". He never had top 20 classes a Arkansas and hung 40 on us every year. "He can't beat Saban". Neither can anyone except Les Miles. Do you want him?

All would be exceptional choices if not for, not only the availability of Petrino, but Petrinos own desire to coach here. In 2-3 years AU would be a top 5 program vying for a spot in the new playoff with a chance at NC's. There is a possibility of similar success with other candidates but none are as close to a sure thing as BP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoetTiger 1,901 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 AU fans that want to win now wants Petrino, the moral police fans want an Honest, High character, Never lies, good Christian man for a coach! Unless I'm horribly wrong, I don't think JESUS is coming back from heaven to coach AU football!! If its not BP, it had better be someone that can coach a football team, defensive or offensive!! Really dude....just cause someone does not want BP does not mean they want some pansy... well the ptb need to make a splash hire, and I hope he is at least near BP level or above! Although the way we have been hiring lately I wouldn't be shocked of it is a pansy coach. Rite now we r worried what people will have to say about us as a whole if we do indeed hire BP!! That's what's wrong with AU rite now! I say screw that, they have already done a pretty good job of that already, 2010 was incredible with all the garbage being spewed our way,I have to ask how did we get thru that fiasco? When u r more concerned about what people say then, no wonder fear seems to be stronger than love to some people! Not me I don't think Auburn cares what people think, a few fans on a message board does not dictate that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's 1 part the drug ring, and 1 part MWC roster (albeit top shelf MWC) competing in the Big Xii and an adjustment period to not resting in the luxury of having to get up for 2 games a yr. Briles did well at Houston. In terms of Baylor this year I think was validation of his program, RG3 is gone yet what is left still represents significant improvement over what he inherited. Also they are 6-5 w/ one game left. Unless you were talking about their conf record, which is losing, 3-5 w/ again one game left against Okie Lite. Keep in mind that's the worst job in that league or 2nd worst depending on what you think of it compared to Iowa State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"He's a liar and won't be able to recruit". He never had top 20 classes a Arkansas and hung 40 on us every year. "He can't beat Saban". Neither can anyone except Les Miles. Do you want him? Am I forgetting any? We could wake up this time next week with a top 5 coach. I have no idea why people are opposed to that. I don't think he'd leave in the middle of the night. Cripes he's wanted to get here since 2003. I don't give a rip about reputation. I care about winning period. Scandals like this change people and affect their ability to succeed professionally moving forward. He's no longer a slam dunk. At this point he's high risk high reward. It could absolutely play out the way you think it will but there is high risk that it won't, risk we don't need to take. You think Petrino is riskier than Briles or Franklin? Yes. If we hired any of the 4 guys you named, I can see them sucking. They may not, but it definitely wouldn't surprise me. I've never seen Petrino not be successful. I don't see a scandal changing his coaching ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
