autodd03 0 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 The following is a quote from Bobby Petrino back in August: “I take responsibility for it and I am really sorry. I have played it over and over in my head a million times. How could I do this? How could this happen? And not just the hiring. Or that day. But my actions, my behavior — for months it was just wrong. I’m working hard to save my marriage. I’m working one day at a time. I want to stay married. That’s my main priority right now. Making things right with my family. … I’ve made mistakes and I’m going to be a better person for it. … I think I’ve got to take this one day at a time, continue to improve as a person and as a husband. I’m also going to continue to work on football. And I just hope and pray that I get that opportunity again.” Putting any moral or ethical arguments aside, here is the main reason I think Gouge will not hire him. Gouge would be hiring an employee that was just recently fired from another employer for breaking some major workplace rules. What message does that send to the rest of the University? The football program doesn't exist in a vacuum, what about the next Auburn employee who breaks a rule? Couldn't he look at Gouge and say "hey, you hired a football coach who did worse than me"? Im not saying this is why I wouldnt hire him, but I think in the end its why Gouge will not hire him. what message does the multi-millions dollar contract send? just sayin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I just don't see how the AU President or AD could ever know if BP was telling the truth and being honest and straight up with them. Would AU have to hire a private investigator to montior the head coaches actions like they hired the agency to montior our players actions & curfew? WOW that would be weird, having to keep your head coach under surveillance at least for a time in order to protect the University from any monkey buisness the coach might be getting into.

OnthePlains 2,014 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 The multi million dollar contracts sends the message that Auburn is willing to pay the going market rate for a top notch football coach. Not sure what that has to do with the point about hiring Petrino puts Gouge in a very difficult situation with the rest of his employees. Professors, secretarys, counselors etc are all paid whatever their profession calls for. If science professors were bringing in 90,000 people to hear there lectures every week and buying science professor merchandies Im sure they would make more than they do.

I find it hard to believe that the faculty, janitors, etc feel they will ever be treated equally to the HFC. And if there were professors that were doing tremendous research and earning extraordinary grants for the university, I am sure they would be given a little more leeway than the average university employee. This is how the world works. Nothing is fair and nothing is uniform in how people are treated. Those with exceptional talents and skills are almost always given more freedom and flexibility in their endeavours and it is accepted within our society.

AUTigers001 0 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I'll just say again... while Petrino is not my first choice, I don't have the same fear as many seem to have. He has at least shown some contrition and made efforts to reconcile his marriage... and I think that is a good thing. He messed up... and he knows it.

JFDTiger80 790 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I'm a little concerned the Petrino will decline our offer based on our lack of productive talent. There is way more potential talent on Auburns roster than Petrino has had. We just have not turned the potential into real talent. Our recruiting classes are rated way better than Petrino's. This is way many people think Petrino could take our existing roster and do wonders with it. Petrino is not my 1st choice but I bet he could turn our commit JJ into an NFL QB.

I'm also going to continue to work on football. And I just hope and pray that I get that opportunity again." Putting any moral or ethical arguments aside, here is the main reason I think Gouge will not hire him. Gouge would be hiring an employee that was just recently fired from another employer for breaking some major workplace rules. What message does that send to the rest of the University? The football program doesn't exist in a vacuum, what about the next Auburn employee who breaks a rule? Couldn't he look at Gouge and say "hey, you hired a football coach who did worse than me"? Im not saying this is why I wouldnt hire him, but I think in the end its why Gouge will not hire him. The reported meeting with Slive and CBP earlier this week will take care of these concerns IMO. +1. Beat me to it Bro. Not trying to be argumentative, just trying to understand your point. How does Slive's approval quell Gouge's fears about having to answer to his own employees?? Especially in the off-chance Petrino did screw up again? It's not if it's when will he screw up again. It's in his DNA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU-24 3,108 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Can't understand why the same people who don't like the "good ole boy" network at Auburn (because they will never change), and the same people who think JJ should be fired for obvious reasons, (JJ njot qualifed to be AD and that hasn't changed) think Petrino will suddenly change his ways and not embarrass us?

AU-24 3,108 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 The following is a quote from Bobby Petrino back in August: "I take responsibility for it and I am really sorry. I have played it over and over in my head a million times. How could I do this? How could this happen? And not just the hiring. Or that day. But my actions, my behavior — for months it was just wrong. I'm working hard to save my marriage. I'm working one day at a time. I want to stay married. That's my main priority right now. Making things right with my family. … I've made mistakes and I'm going to be a better person for it. … I think I've got to take this one day at a time, continue to improve as a person and as a husband. I'm also going to continue to work on football. And I just hope and pray that I get that opportunity again."

It's in his DNA. It is in JJ's and Jackson's DNA to be stupid and non-qualified for their jobs. It is in the BOT's DNA to want to run things and make most important decisions. But Petrino is suddenly going to change for the better as soon as he steps foot on campus. I just don't get it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
