It is not a secret that our coaches  spend more time on prayer meetings, character impovemet, motivational speakers etc than they do on practice or game planning. Its not just Gene, Tubs was that way to. I do not mean to offend anyone if it sounded I was againt religion. As for UK getting Petrino I would think yall would not want him for the same reason I dont. He has never finished better than 3rd in the west, never beat spanky, only beat Les once I think, and is not interested at all in defence. Plus you know its going to end badly.

Petrino would be a good recruiter, but as soon as he got an offer to make 3 extra dollars, or get his name in a little higher light, he'd be gone, leaving the program and players to work out the mess.

He would be a good fit if you can take the other bagage that he brings. Beware the ride will not last more than about 4 years though...at least that is as long has he has lasted anywhere.

That said, I think he ends up at Auburn. He would do well there and their AD cares nothing about character so a good fit.

Auburn Head Coach Tommy Tuberville had brought Petrino in as offensive coordinator in 2002, then helped Petrino land the Louisville job, and was still Head Coach in good standing at Auburn, so far as he knew.

Petrino continually exhibits his basic lack of class and character. He's truly lacking!

Hard for me to believe that more people don't see that. He's left a trail of crap literally everywhere he's been.
