Looks like we have our WR coach
- Thread starter IHATEUAVEL

This is a serious question: Wouldn't it make sense that if Petrino was "coaching the WR's anyway," that HE would be the choice for "WR Coach?"
Thats my point with UL fans....if little Petrino was the WR coach all a long why hire another just pronounce little P as WR coach NOW!
And might get even more popular, if he would leave politics out of it.
Once again a louisville told me Nick Petrino was the wr coach if that is true that is against NCAA rules because Louisville would have to many staff members. You can't just have 50 coaches.
It's funny because Louisville fans say the same thing about UK, yet we both still talk about each other. The song "stuck in the middle with you" comes to mind.
Well, today I learned two things. One, that our new WR coach is Thomas. Two, that Little Brothel's current WR coach is Nick Petrino, and he's actually been in that position for quite some time, notwithstanding the fact everyone kept confusing his position with that of graduate assistant.
I have to give UC fans credit. Some of them did show some sour grapes attitude after the Gran hire (they used the one bad bowl game as a way to say, "we're glad he's gone, anyway"), but at least they didn't stoop to trying to claim that the real offensive coordinator was actually one of their graduate assistants.
uavel scout board in MELTDOWN mode sort of sad to see those turds gnashing their teeth:chairshot:
this isn't that complex - a GA can handle on the field duties you'd normally associate with a "coach" but just not be able to recruit off campus. You don't know what you are talking about here - have you ever seen Alabama's staff - it's like a million people.
I'm not a Louisville fan - think it's a rinky dink, shady program. But, a GA can "coach" the WR group without being technically a coach. Did he? Don't know, don't care.
In other news, the defensive grad assistant is really calling the plays for Todd Grantham...
Dude I've been in football for 31 years your missing the point. I know what a GA is and does. A louisville fan told me Petrino was the wr coach not Thomas he did not say coach wr he said he was the coach that is against NCAA rules. All GA help out UK has a bunch but nobody would say because Andre Woodson worked with the qbs he was the wr coach.
the level of butthurt is just amazing.
But PERFECT example of just how delusional that fanbase is. They have talked themselves into believing a graduate assistant with no experience is responsible for coaching their wide receivers over an NFL vet and bad *** college wide receiver who not only has been coaching at UL since Petrino has been here but CAME WITH PETRINO FROM WKU. Why would Petrino bother carrying his water if Thomas was not going to be the WR coach? Just total delusion over there.
If he can bring in a Lamar Jackson type player and improve the WR's even a little bit, he's a homerun hire. I'm sure some will gripe because he's not some fancy name guy.
I know nothing about him but on the surface seems like a solid hire, especially if he can bring in some players from S. Florida.

I don't have to prove anything Jack. He said it, I heard it. It's a fact. Must have said it on one of those practical days you missed.
Sec 206..tg in orange lot ..come visit IF YOU EVEN GO TO THE GAMES which I doubt
I just wanted someone who could help replace Scott's recruiting presence in Florida and also had WR experience. We got both. I'm happy.
Why are you going to UK games? I mean you're free to do what you want but it seems like a strange hobby for a Louisville fan.
Lamar Thomas has great ties to the South Florida area, and will give us someone with legit cred down there. For this looking from the outside it is hard to understand the difference in Miami kids compared to almost any other area of the country. Everyone knows about the speed down there and that is one big thing that makes kids ready to play as freshman. What they don't realize is how physically and mentally tough these kids are compared to the rest of the country. Are there other tough areas all over - sure. But overall, kid for kid on average these kids are tough and nasty. That is why they can suit for Bama or FSU or LSU as true frosh and start. Start getting some here and develop a pipeline and it would go a long way towards elevating this program.
Well, I think it's safe to say that it's set in stone that he's going to be our WR coach.

Good news. While most of the Tard fans were crying sour grapes while insisting that he never really was the WR coach in the first place, a few were suggesting that this was just a tactic to get a raise, and that he wasn't really leaving.
