WKU hires Bobby Petrino

[IHuckItDeep]

Whattttttttt....pretty surprising..kinda....maybe we won't take some of their recruits after all...

[Brad]

Maybe WKU will become our coaching pipeline.

I think we made the right choice. Hope W. Kentucky continues to get better too.

LET'S BE HONEST

Well he knows the area, and maybe WKU is only looking for a 1 or 2 year guy right now to propel them forward. Once he props them up, a better coach will want to come take over upon his exit. Makes sense to me.

In the three seasons before Bobby Petrino arrived in Louisville, the Cardinals were 27-11. In the three seasons after he left, they were 15-21. At Arkansas, they were coming off 8-5 and 10-4 seasons, and in their one season since he left, they went 4-8. There is zero reason to believe Bobby Petrino will leave any team in better shape than he found it.

I WANTED BOBBY PETRINO

Quote from Genshaft:

He just seemed like a very good fit for the University of South Florida. I, as a president, am very concerned about somebody that is a clean coach, one that will watch the academics as well as the on-field play. I'm thrilled.

I'm livid... apparently USF only interviewed Taggart and Nutt, and failed to interview Petrino or Davis. So we get a Sun Belt coach with a losing overall record, and WKU gets an SEC coach (Petrino), and FIU is about to get Butch ******* Davis.

Nothing against Taggart he might just work out (fingers crossed)... my anger is directed at USF. I take their lack of an applicant pool as a sign that they did not do a good job.
