WKU hires Bobby Petrino

[LifeIsBully]

If we hired Petrino he would be GONE after the first winning season. Sorry whiners, but I really don't feel like doing this again in two years. WT was the right choice.

Haha, so people who disagree are whiners and never played organized sports? This is a $2 billion dollar industry, not ******* Candy Land.

You can tell those on here that probably didn't play organized sports. The man quit on his team. There aren't many worse sins in team sports .... **** Petrino.

Taggart just did that. He got his guys to their first bowl game and said sorry I'm not going to help you prepare for it. I know this is common but I've always thought it is ********. I think coaches should be forced to stay until the last is over!

This was a very important hire because of realignment and wooly & Genny FAILED!

No. Short of winning a couple BE Championships, USF is Taggart's ceiling. He will need to achieve greatness here before someone hires him away. And by that time hopefully we are back on track.

Petrino would only need one decent season before sneaking away to a bigger fish. He doesn't care about the program, he only cares about himself. He's an *******. You want that guy leading our program? Hell no.

The man wins no matter what you think about him personally. And if we aren't winning, wont matter how nice you are... Right Skip?

Exactly and here's the thing....with conference realignment, we REALLY needed to bust a move and bust a move FAST! Patrino would've provided that. Even if Taggart ca get it done, it will likely IMO take more time. We don't have time!

I guess we'll just keep repeating this until everyone gets the memo: Recent, present and future on the field accomplishments, or lack of, have absolutely nothing to do with conference realignment.

There's a reason Petrino is going to freaking WKU, people are scurred of him.

If Davis goes to FIU though, I'll be pretty upset...

LOL ... You want Petrino but then you say this? Look at his time with the Atlanta Falcons ... You obviously have no idea what you are talking about or what you are even saying.

Program perception is everything. Why? Players have parents and families. And they don't allow their children to play for people who have no morals.

Yeah, it would have been interesting to have Petrino at USF. But it would have a been a huge gamble, just like WKU is taking now.

Let's see what happens in a few years.

My bet is that USF will come out much better than WKU.

Heck, USF couldn't live with Leavitt slapping someone. There was no chance Petrino and his baggage could to come to Tampa.

Makes one think about the Petrino interview at WKU. Would have loved to have been a fly on the wall.
