Doesn't matter what anyone thinks or wants, but Briles and Petrino will never walk on our field as UK coaches. Heck they even thought a Howard S. hire was bad for the school.

I disagree with you about Cal. I realize that UL fans don't like Cal, but I do not see where Mitch's ethics were violated in that instance. And, once it was patent that Gillispie was a liability and treating students poorly, Mitch canned him.

I did not claim having a moral compass meant a person does not make mistakes. That is a common misperception of people who judge those who attempt to adhere to a high standard.


So you can make a mistake or maybe make a whole lot of them and still be moral. Does that also apply to Petrino and Briles?

Were Art and Bobby trying to adhere to a higher standard?


Who knows? For that matter is Mitch? Or is that just a pretense for not competing in the big arena and staying in minor sports.

We shouldn't pick and chose to who we grant the benefit of a doubt. Not a level playing field.

Right, we're not talking about Petrino. We're talking about Art Briles. Petrino is guilty...thats been confirmed and what he did was illegal but lets not pretend that misusing state funds and banging a young co-ed is the same as aiding in covering up multiple rapes. I mean misusing state funds is nothing to dismiss, but its not even on the same planet as rape. In the eyes of the law they're the same but in the eyes of everyone else one is miles worse than the other. If some on here don't see the difference between what Petrino did and what Briles did then you're simply letting blind hatred for all things UL cloud your judgement.

Also.....I think UK should 1000% go after Art Briles. (Mitch never will and I highly doubt Briles would leave the Mid-West/West Coast) I was only pointing out the hypocrisy that some on here are supporting Briles while scoffing that they would ever hire Petrino.
Aiding in and covering up multiple rapes. Now Art Briles was a participant too? I wonder if Art Briles habitually makes up lies like you guys do?

So which rapes did he aid in and which rapes did he cover up?

I doubt "who knows" is a fair response. You think BP was trying to adhere to a higher standard when he cheated on his wife, gave his girlfriend an impermissible job, then got the snot bested from him by "a motorcycle" and decided to lie to his boss? I doubt you think that.

I assume all of them.

No, thats not what I'm saying, that's clearly a typo on my part. Should have obviously said "aiding in the cover up of multiple rapes".

Umm, no he didn't. You are lying, you are making up stuff, you are adopting BS you heard like every other sheep on this board. Which low life did he defend? Oh you cant name one? Yeah, because he didn't. What federal mandate did he ignore? Did he coach the players on what to say to the police like Michigan State did with Tom Izzo's boys? How the hell do you cover up a rape? Did he force the girl to shower to get rid of the evidence then force to not call the police? How did this cover up work? Oh wait, you're lying and cant answer that.

Wow! Simply Wow! I'm devastatingly surprised and infinitely disappointed in myself for giving you any attention. I am now dumber for lowering myself into a conversation with you and I am scarred to say that I have lost a great deal of self respect and dignity that I am afraid, I will never be able to regain. I will never love me again.

You can say all that but like every sheep before you, can't simply say what Briles did.

one of these is old, and the other says he's being dropped from the title IX suit. so I guess you could say names are named but they're named as being no longer involved w a suit. hmm.

If anyone takes the time to really read all the stuff that came out of Waco you see that their was mixed feelings about him leaving. He had a 8 year, 40 Million dollar contract when all the crap hit the fan. The University had just spent 300 million on stadium improvements and many of the donors wanted Briles to accept a one year suspension but Briles didn't accept that and sued Baylor for breach of contract and unlawful termination.

He received 20 million when he settled. He himself said he will coach again in 2017.

Why does UK need him? Throughout his career he takes perpetual losers and turns them into winners.He did it at Houston and at Baylor. He would open up Texas as a real recruiting hub and is basically an offensive genius with the players he has on a team. He develops great QB play, ala Robert Griffen, and plays a style of football that scores points. Lots of points.

The U.K. Powers that be need to get with the program, accept what the fans want, bite the bullet, and hire this man at any cost. Any and all moral issues are foolish to even talk about. Barney needs to put the UK football fan first and put his morals in the basement. If he can't, his *** needs to be fired as well. Clean house at UK or go home. Trust me, if Barny received an email from the 30,000!plus who bought season tickets and it said your never supporting him until ha makes this change, then change will come.

Losers accept losing. UK fans are not losers but to keep on supporting this program which doesn't support the fan is foolish. Remember, all these Universities care about is money, not your team.

sky if falling, chicken little - way to stick with the program
