I've talked to Alabama fans who despite the fact of his record, don't like his coaching approach. No doubt Saban's record at UAt has been good, but overall outside the SEC his coaching record has been less than stellar. He tried to take the same coaching philosophy to the NFL and it failed miserably. The staff and players would not put up with his crap. I find this extremely hard to believe.

That wasn't due to anything Petrino did though. He was the reason for the risk. Arky either just got lucky or she got rich and was more ashamed than vindictive. Probably both.

They also think he is passionate about teaching his players about life after football so the douchebag side of Saban is always ignored by the bammer sheep. What Bama fans do you talk to? I agree with you that most Bama think that. However, a couple of Bama friends I've talked to have at expressed their displeasure of how he treats his staff and players. Not saying that they don't like the fact he wins games, just that they were not happy with his approach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auskip07 930 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 I dont have to like people on the personal level to appreciate their greatness in a specific field. Many MANY great people in their fields are not likable. Greatness takes up so much of you that it leaves very little for other things in life like being well rounded. Well rounded people are average.

The difference is, Pearl actually got his employer in trouble while Petrino MAY have gotten his employer in trouble. Auburn has embraced Pearl and yet feel Petrino is beneath them. The word you're looking for is, sanctimonious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never that I would hate Gus this much, been a supporter for a long time, but cannot digest what just happened today after giving him the benefit of doubt for the clemson game He's always called the shots. People calling for Rhett need to just let that go. They should know the set up by now when it comes to the father / son duo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weegle777 78 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 I would put money on the fact that if AU hired Petrino and we won a NC, that those who hate BP would still not miss the chance to celebrate it and would immediately go out and but a NC sticker for their back car window.

What Bruce did was not even in the same realm of sleaze and embarrassment. You can't compare adultery and putting your employer at risk of a messy lawsuit to making too many phone calls and having a recruit as a dinner guest. Not even close...

Luck had nothing to do with it. Arkansas, like Auburn would, paid a mistress to keep her mouth shut. I don't care that Petrino had a piece on the side. I'll give you the point that he'd probably still be at Arky if he owned up and admitted to it. I'd wager good money, he wouldn't make the same mistake.

I won't watch a Petrino coached Auburn team. I get the feeling there are others that feel this way. What that awful man stands for is everything counter to what auburn stands for. I know it may feel to some like we've lost our way, but that to me would truly be the biggest sign that we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
