WarDamnAirForce 23 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 A couple of things. Interviews have not started yet and the chances of a hire being made before the weekend is over is slim. Monday or Tuesday are the best chances now. Petrino is likely a back up plan since he has not been interviewed yet and had every chance to be E...remember you from back when I used to troll AE as AirForceTiger10. Always make sure to stop and read your posts, and this one made me relax a little. Whatever happens happens, and like I said before I will always believe in Auburn and love it. This is just an exciting mess...like a week before national signing day but somehow worse lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoetTiger 1,901 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Garrick McGee publicly told some people he'd come to Auburn as OC if Petrino got the job. And there have been rumors that hes bringing in Kevin Greene and Joe Whitt Jr. as co-coordinators. Will believe it when I see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AcUmen 242 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Yep if it's BP it's gonna mean some scarey stuff...Stuff I don't want to believe is possible What if Sully and Bo go public and say "we wanted BP and we stand behind him?"

PoetTiger 1,901 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 We can't hire Petrino. Don't you guys remember what happened to Tiger Woods when he was publicly outed and had to stop banging sluts behind his wife's back? I do. He sucked at golf. If Petrino sans mistress is going to be anything like Tiger Woods without porn stars and Perkins restaurant waitresses, I don't want any part of it.

Will you think they are lying? No. I won't think they're lying. I'll think they went through all their options and truly thought BP was the best candidate in their eyes. Whether that's because we got turned down by all other candidates or they thought he was flat out the best...I may never know. But I won't think they're lying. But it also won't change my opinion on the hire, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellitor 33,114 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Ellitor, I just saw your tweet to EagleDamnWar -- stalker of commits -- and you said Petrino hasn't been interviewed yet and thus is not our #1 candidate. E, or anyone, do you think there's any way we have yet to talk to Bobby? BREAKING: YOU just posted as I was typing. You don't think Petrino now? Who you got? By the way, Carl Lawson caught EDW's tweet with the Walmart greeter photoshopped shot of Chizik and was pissed. For some reason this dude thinks his contact with our recruits is helping. He needs to back off. Do the program a favor: convey this to this guy. I said likely not #1. Big difference. We have talked to BP through back channels but nothing formal. I don't have anyone. I just believe a few people will have to say no before he is offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jouie 0 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Discouraging. Hmmm. Didn't I just read something here that said in effect Petrino and Whitt, Jr., nearly came to blows back in '02? Maybe they respect each other for their respective squads, O and D, brawling and each of them having their guys' backs. Hmm.... I'm just assuming these guys would be his "awesome DC" he'd bring along. Color me skeptical, but optimistic. Auburn blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guerra aguila 0 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 To make the Case that Petrino should be hired at Auburn, should be based on these guidelines. “Those benchmarks,” Jacobs wrote, “are a track record as a proven winner, a commitment to playing within the rules and student-athlete academic success.” At Louisville and Arkansas, Petrino displayed these abilities. He has some off the field baggage that is in the past. It is time to forgive that portion of the argument. His bigger issue could perhaps be the fact that he doesnt stay at any program for very long. Fans can build a case on that, but as far as winning, and following the rules on the field, he has done just that. His last chance is Auburn, if we indeed hire him. He cant afford to mess up again, if he does, he will never coach in this game again, unless its in high school. Jay Jacobs and President Gouge cant afford to let this happen again. Let alone allow another bad hire. Petrino should be given the key to the city, and the reigns to run the program the way he wants to, if those things are satisfactory, Auburn will be back on top soon enough. Petrino is a proven winner in the SEC already. At Auburn he would have the resources and facilities along with the recruiting to be very successful and happy for a long time. He has connections with Influencial people at Auburn. It is time for Auburn to hire the right coach, not the right fit. We have been down that road before. War Eagle! based on Jacobs Criteria, several coaches out there fit those agendas, including Petrino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AcUmen 242 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I'm with you, but it will be a divisive decision no matter who AU hires. If they don't hire Petrino, half of us will pull an "airport guy." If Petrino is hired, the other half will also pull an "airport guy" but their chant will be: "We want a leader not an adulterer."

ToomersRevenge 284 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 If we hire Petrino do we also have to take John L. Smith and Paul Petrino? I'd much rather have two others on the sidelines than those guys. They're basically his version of the BBQ Boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiring Bobby Petrino to coach a college football team would be a terrific example of the phrase. Titan, I agree with you that Petrino is a very good football coach. I just think there are others out there as well. I think we can get one of the other guys. Now, if we end up hiring a guy with a 5-19 record instead of Petrino, I'll be pissed. But, I don't think he should be our Plan A. And it doesn't look to me as though he is right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooltigger21 0 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Cam Newton stole a laptop and had a shady past prior to coming to Auburn. Anyone regret getting him? Can also spent a year at junior college and proved himself worthy of another chance. Let Petrino go prove he can be trusted somewhere else where the stakes aren't so high.

I think that's what alot of us that would support a BP hire are thinking. I personally would like to see Gary Patterson come to the plains. He was the guy I wanted in '08. I have to point out something contradictory in your post though. You say you won't "sell out" or "sell your soul" by hiring BP, yet you then say if we get someone that isn't as qualified but a good man you would be pissed. Which is it? I mean I think most of us would like to see BP hired as a last resort. But your statement implies that infact you would regret not "selling your soul" if we get an up n comer?
