you hire Petrino back when the chance existed because he was way below his market value. had he not had his Arky episode his salary to hire him away would have been far higher than Barney would ever spend. it would have been a risk but one worth it as there would be no other way to bring in a coach of that talent level. as it stands now, he's kept his nose clean since his episode and if he continues to do so will be in position in another season to again command a far higher salary than Barney will ever spend for a FB coach. But he'd rather risk it on the unproven anyway. Barney's a lousy poker player.

NO Leroy you don't mortgage your soul to a Piece of crap like Honest Bob.He was banned by the SEC and was unhireable ..A curse on him and his house..I would give up my UK Letters before supporting a slimebag like him.

Maybe we can still get Ray Rice to coach RBs.

Petrino would be on a plane to his next job interview the minute he got his 6th win in a season here if any better team is still stupid enough to interview him. Anybody who thinks otherwise is a fool.

Well guys I'm 34 years old and my whole life UK football has been a cesspool of wasted Saturday's with a few and very brief moments of glory in there.

So excuse me for being sick and tired of watching UK be irrelevant in football. And Mojocat, you don't know me. I'm a good dude so don't make comments acting like me wanting UK to win at football says anything about my character. These coaches are paid MILLIONS to win games. Be real here people. It's not about being a good role model, it's about winning.

Let Calipari lose and see how few people would talk about his good deeds off the court. Winning people. That's the bottom line and I'm sick of watching UK lose.

You are a good dude? Sorry dude but that is not for you to decide. When you say things like "he is a POS that wins football games and everything else is irrelevant" that indeed does speak to your character. Maybe you are decent for the most part but this is a hit and it absolutely says more about you than it does the coach.

so? the years are racking up since this teams won 6. at least you prove it can still be done. When's the last time UKs fb coach left to take a better job?? that's your fear?!? Stoops
may bolt too if he ever does it.

Ha, well at this point Joker's move to UF WR coach could be considered a better job! Kidding...kind of. But hell what do I know, I wanted Leach and he hasn't been lighting it up, although more success than UK has had.

If Petrino was still at Western, there would be 10 schools trying to get him now and you all know it. Don't blame him for your inept AD. Hell they had to hold a gun to his head to get him to hire Calipari

Louisville is beating Syracuse 38-10 right now.

Anything else is irrelevant.

I have to watch UofL thrive while UK continues to not show up.

Excuse me for wanting more. I'm done with the message boards for today. Nothing's I say on here matters. Towles will start next week, he will struggle, UK probably puts up less than 10 points, and loses to Vandy. Trying to express my desire to win does nothing. UK and the administration has to decide what is acceptable and what isn't
I didn't even know you could score 38 points in a game.

No they wouldn't! There would be a couple of trash programs fighting for him but no respectable ones. He is damaged goods. He is where he belongs.

Well your lucky, Barnhart wasn't smart enough to hire him and now when he beats you you can say I don't care how many games we lose no way I would pull for Petrino, he cheated on his wife.
Pretty rich commentary coming from the depths of depravity known as hooker U.

The Louisville program is a cesspool; and it's the only program in the country that would have hired Honest Bob. It's probably also the only program in the country that would have managed to have the hooker scandal. It's a disgrace.

I was being sarcastic but dang he has been a solid coach in college and His first round at UL was successful and his last round at Ark wasnt bad at all. If it were for his scumbag ways of the field it would of been the tight hire over Stoops. I do believe they put up 41 today. When was last yime UK put up 41?

I simply made a comment replying to original poster non threatening and several of you pounce on my comment like it was a personal jab. My dad and brother are season ticket holders at UK. I'll be willing to bet that I have been to more UK games than most of the posters on this board even though I am a Card season tickets holder for 30 years Im also a college football fan who has attended games at more than 40 stadiums. How bout you? I mean no disrespect but will defend myself and my team.

To think UK fans on this board don't attend games is probably the highest level of retard you could have possibly achieved. Your school sucks, this is our board. Want to talk UL football? Go on your board and discuss it with all 3 of your fans.

And guess's who's winning football games and who isn't?

This isn't a popularity contest or bible school.

I make NO reservations about wanting UK to win football games by any means within the rules and I won't apologize for it.

I would hire Hitler if he won games.

The Jews and free people everywhere are happy to hear this. lol

I wanted Petrino too.

Rupp was UNIVERSALLY hated b everyone as one of the most arrogant men in sports. but guess what he WON GAMES so everyone gives him a bye on his reputation.

The posters saying they wouldn't want a coach because of his rep are probly the same one who said the same thing about Calipari and are now all over his nuts.

Your hiring him to win games....not because he's a swell guy.

There's a difference in hating Rupp (who they hated for winning) and hating Petrino
(Who is hated because he's a douchebag and a-hole). Huge difference

Football: Louisville, Miami Basketball: Louisville, UNLV, Georgetown

Tennessee is borderline.
ok, so Tenn and Miami, per your list. those teams have won national titles. I'm not sure how you're defining trash. you seem to be defining winner.

Wouldn't want Petrino anywhere around the UK program. I hating losing too but there are much better options and we passed on several when hiring Stoops. Have to admit, I was behind Stoops when he got the job and was hoping he would be the one but I think, like others, maybe it was the name reputation I mistakenly fell for. It's obvious he isn't head coaching material and that we should have gone for another coach who had some head coaching experience. Having said that, Petrino would definitely not be on my list of those types of coaches. Watched Western today and they are fun to watch and have a very entertaining offense and defense. I know Brohm probably wouldn't come to UK but that is the type of hire we should have been looking at in the first place. Someone who was having success as a head coach who might be interested in an SEC job even if it is Kentucky.
On the contrary...I know a very good friend of Brohm's and he would certainly have taken the Job...said Jeff told him that it would take a minimum of 7 yrs to make it a good program, but would never be elite because of being In the sec

Anyone pining for that POS can kiss my *** and turn in their UK fan card.

And this is not Barnhart's fault. Most everyone, including me thought or thinks Stoops was a good hire. He's struggling right now. He may turn it around or may not. But if you sold your soul and ethics for wins, then hide somewhere and find another program to cheer for, like the one in Louisville.

We have held our season tix for 40 years but if UK had hired Bobby Petrino, we would have severed all ties. Character and integrity still mean something at my University and Petrino has neither.
then why'd you keep your tickets through the probations? can't follow your logic.

Having an assistant coach give cash to recruits is not exactly the same. And he was fired plus the coach and staff.
sounds directly related to character and integrity to me. there are a great number of less than saintworthy coaches who are quite successful. we're either going to have to pay the market rate for saintworthy and capable coaches, hold our nose a bit with the hire, or just stay very bad in this conference. we seem to be doing the latter.

Well we will have to disagree, at least our trash was taken to the street and removed.
