Since when does that piece of crap school have any regard for NCAA rules...
Nothing. He's pretty young, no coaching experience, and a failure as a college level QB. One helluva resume for somebody to be coaching at a P5 school.
HAHAHAHA Tee Martin HAHAHAHAHA
Why are players having so much difficulty? I don't know. I never played the position.
2 ga's can coach positions. as long as he was only 1 of 2 then it doesn't matter how much ul says he was the true wr coach... still not a violation. i did think kentucky had a nepotism rule in effect for all public jobs... seems like martin newton got some heat for his gig over who his dad was. i was younger back then though so not real sure. i may be wrong on both accounts though. lol
dude out kicked his coverage though.

He learned quickly. Parlayed his job here into a gig at USC where he was recently named OC. Was also chosen by one outlet as the #1 recruiter in the country so his OJT here paid off. One would think he'll eventually be a HC.
If Nick was out on the recruiting trail that would be one thing, but coaching during practice is another. I don't think that is regulated by the NCAA. There is a limit to the number of people that are on the staff that have the title "coach," but that is (for NCAA purposes) more related to off-site recruiting than anything else. If Nick was a QC Coordinator and ran receivers through drills during practice, that is not a violation, and is exactly what UK is going to be doing with the QC Coordinators they are hiring.
Also, I do think posting personal pictures is a little over the top. I'm not comfortable with that.

Google Nick Pitrino images, those are the first that come up. If he doesn't want people making fun of them, then don't post them on the internet.
The girl isn't.
She is the one who got him pose like a d-bag and is also likely the person who posted those lame pictures onto the public domain. Also I didn't write anything mocking her and she isn't the one that looks goofy in the photos.

LOL WHAT A STRAIGHT B---H OMG!!! REALLY DUDE REALLY WOW!
Matt should do more research before running his mouth. Nick Petrino served as a graduate assistant offensive coach last season. From this article it would appear it was his second year in that capacity. I believe that 2 years is all you can serve as a graduate assistant. There are limitations on compensation and recruiting but a GA can "coach" however the HC sees fit.

It's a gray area. FBS schools are allowed up to 4 GAs, but only 12 total coaches. Schools file a form with the NCAA each year that names those coaches. Most schools have about 10 total actual coaches, which allows 2 of those GAs to coach as well. If you're not a coach, you can't instruct players on the field. Thus, schools have created the "quality Control" assistants, who mainly do film work and such, no on-field coaching. Another weird restriction is that you can't replace a GA midway through the year if one leaves. I guess that's to do with the fact that they have to be grad students. So if you're a GA who isn't on that list of 12, you can only do off-field work for the program.
The gray area with NP is that he is listed on their media guide as both a Quality Control Assistant for Offense and a Graduate Assistant. Without knowing who they submitted to the NCAA to be their coaches, it's impossible to know if he was a GA or QCA, and then whether or not he was on their list of 12 coaches they submitted. But they have (i think) 10 actual paid coaches, meaning of the 4 GAs on their roster, they could only have had 2 of them doing on-field coaching.

UL fans have moaned and groaned loud and complained about everything possible related to UK contracting with Thomas. The fans have been silly, as usual. But, I doubt baby Petrino was the initiator. I suspect he could care about as much as I whether Thomas works with Stoops or with Saban. So, I think making him the butt of Cat fans' jokes is a bit unfair.
That said, when you put your pics on the Internet, they no longer belong to you.

That's all fine and dandy. However, if you truly believe that an atrocious walk on graduate assistant qb was the actual receivers coach, and not the guy you were paying a few hundred thousand, who also is one of the most prolific receivers in Miami history, who had a good nfl career, I have some oceanfront property in lexington I would love to sell you.
Indeed. Didn't mean to suggest he was good but its not uncommon. As a QB you have to understand the offense so coaching WR isn't really a stretch. Technique drills they can pick up from anywhere.
That's not what I said. However, I was privately informed (from a very good source) around Thanksgiving that Thomas would not be back in 2016. He was allegedly unhappy about the time demands CBP placed on his assistants. I have no idea how that relationship affected "WR coaching" during the season. However, CBP has a long standing rep as a demanding boss. Young assistants lead a nomadic life as they compile their resume which is where Thomas is now. FWIW, given his inexperience, I would not be the least bit happy if young Petrino was named as the full time WR coach
Peace
A quick search shows that he was forced to give up all his remaining dignity prior to his wedding. I am sure that his players will think that these photos are sweet.
Better not let Rick see these pics.
LOL it's amazing all of the sources that have jumped out recently regarding Thomas....the privacy of sources is one of the biggest truck loads of BS anyone can use.
Love the term also "allegedly" makes for an easy way to say I have no facts to share because I don't have a clue.
I don't think he said it was illegal to post the pictures, just that it was bush.
You should have passed that bit of info around to your fanbase, it might have saved some of them from all the mental anguish they suffered from.
Don't blame you Wild. I'm always amazed at how schools routinely move coaches around and hire them for different positions like it's nothing. I know it's not brain surgery but skill positions are specialized positions and I have to think it can make a huge difference from just a coach who knows the basics to a coach who really knows how teach details to make these guys really excel. I cringed the day I heard Chad Scott was moved to WR coach and made the comment I bet he won't last.
There is no question UK had raw talent at the WR position last year yet they struggled bad at times. You can't tell me the right coach that could teach them how to run routes the right way wouldn't have made a huge difference. Getting guys with athletic ability to know how to get one step of separation changes everything for an offense. Third downs become first downs etc.
Sure they need to be able to recruit and keep up there, but I want a specialist coaching my positions if I'm head coach.
I could send you the NOV 25 e-mail...but I'm not. I said "allegedly" because I have no facts about "why" Thomas would not be back but it is a fact he will not be back.
It was said to me at the time in confidence. Obviously becoming more public now that it has happened.
Peace
