The Blue Board

If by "talked to at least 5 Arky fans" you mean been reading the trash can at Hogville, then yea, you got something there.

would be a set back for any program to lose a coach like Pet but really think Gus would be as good of a coach down the road

I'm still not sold on Gus..still wondering why he bolted from Auburn yet turned down better gigs last year.

Check out shoe the insider

Its Arkansas.

What of the Pitino precedent??

I don't know how Bobby can sit in a families living room with a straight face when he lied to atl, cheated in his wife, lied about that, messed up another marriage and has 4 kids.

Also, if a divorce is on the way from the wife, there's no chance he stays.

Good luck recruiting, he gone

russ campbell is petrino's agent...he's in bham...let's just say he's been very busy.

Bobby taking over at Birmingham Southern? Miles? He's gonna be Virginia College's first football corch?

He'll be tennessee's or auburn's next coach if he's fired. I don't think Arky fires him for that reason.

depends on how the pr fallout is handled and how quickly his image is restored. petrino was shaky at best for accepting the auburn job in 03, then backing out...the way he left atlanta essentially made the arkansas job important in terms of him having to be on good behavior...well that has been shot along with anything positive...

Yeah, no doubt those are solid aggravating factors.

But then again, Louisville and Pitino were able to successfully soft sell the rape allegation aspect of his situation, and of course, the abortion he paid for, as well as the extortion issue [which I suppose made Pitino the "victim"] which played out over an extended period via a Federal court prosecution

I wouldn't underestimate the ability of a big time athletic program to turn a blind eye to the moral failingsof a coach that wins like Petrino; CFB = Bidness...Big Time Bidness
