Job. After watching what he has done at UL with arguably less talent and in less time then Stoops, would you of wanted him here?

My answer is maybe today, but not back then. I know ***** way out on my part. But i do not get paid millions to evaluate and predict a coaches talent. At the time 4 years ago MB got paid a lot to make that right choice for me.

I lived in Mempho when Petrino had his issues. From leaving the Falcons like a jerk to embarrassing Ark and its fans. Theirs a huge hog following in Mempho including my family. At the time i would of not touched him with a 10 foot pole.

But our AD should of been able to make a hard choice back then to set us up down the road. Instead he thought and judged like i did. He should of been able to accept the heat early from us for the hire, knowing in 4 years we would be hosting a game day looking atva top 5 ranking.

Troll? Ok. Well just stating the obvious. And my question still stands. Would some of you take Petrino today? I think most like myself 4 years ago said no. But today, if the opportunity was their, ya i may say yes.

Does this mean i chose winning over integrity? Probably. Or could it be Petrino made a mistake and now is a better person for it? Or am i just trying to justify wanting to win more then keeping my dignity in check?

Who knows. At the end of the day we all are human and its just a game.

Coming from a Clemson fan, you guys have one of the scummiest college basketball coaches, how can you justify loving him but hating someone like petrino??

Scummiest? You obviously have NO clue!! Cal is one of the classiest coaches out there. Stop listening to haters and examine the facts. The man has done more for his players and the game than any coach.

You know nothing about Cal. I agree we should have hired Petrino but he and Cal aren't in the same stratosphere in terms of sliminess. I think you'll see the truth with Cal if you read everything out there about him.

You can go back and look....I wanted Petrino. And I posted about it at the time. Mitch dropped the ball. This was UK's first real chance since the Bear to be relevant in football and we punted.
