Re: Auburn will be a first class cluster
Depends on how much he "Keeps it on the down low cuz".I think he will fizzle like Bowden.

Agreed. I haven't considered who they might go after, but Petrino doesn't pass the smell check.Some people are saying Petrino to the barn and I disagree. I think they will look for another yes man and I don't think Petrino would fit that description.
Solid analysis BET. AU has certainly had their fair share of luck lately. Last year they had to beat Utah St using an onside kick late. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but they would have been the first defending national championship team to lose a season opener if that game would have ended up a loss. In 2010 they had 5 games that they won by 3 points or less and of course we all know how badly we blew our game against them. I look at their schedule this year and I want to say 5-7 but I just think they'll find a way to win a few games they shouldn't and go 7-5, very best case 8-4.
that's what I see happening. Just like the end of the Tubby regime, lot's of forced replacement of coordinators (already seen this) for a few more years followed by the eventual ouster of the HC. Going to be fun to watchI don't want a complete melt down...yet. Keep that staff together another year or two so whomever they hire has an even more daunting task.
Have you forgotten about Rick Pitino?I think Petrino has to go the FCS route first. Has been a lot of bad blood between KU & Louie U, can't see them hiring a former coach. But that's just my opinion on him.
Tennessee yes.I certainly don't want to see Bob Petrino at Auburn or Tennessee. The man lacks moral fiber but can flat-out coach.
Meh. He's a good offensive mind, yes, but a great head coach?I certainly don't want to see Bob Petrino at Auburn or Tennessee. The man lacks moral fiber but can flat-out coach.
That's correct. So how many of his defenses stopped someone worth a dang?Meh. He's a good offensive mind, yes, but a great head coach?
Great coaches have effective offenses and defenses...
Just the way I like itMark my words. The 2012 Auburn football season is going to be a first class cluster.
I know they are somewhere just north of 70 scholarship players for 2012. I have a good sense that of that number, they will be able to count on somewhere around 65. Seven guys have been run off or quit. Another two might not make it.
Of the skill players they signed in 2012, they might get two or three on the field. Of the senior leadership they expected this season... well, I don't want to get ugly.
In 2010, I picked Auburn as my Dark Horse candidate to win the SEC, so I'm not just homering.
From what I've seen in the offseason, during spring practice and fall camp...
Coach 5-19 is back in his toothless glory.
I agree!! Let Trooper keep bringing in thugs without the ability to pay them since the NCAA is truly watching them now. Fill the roster with another four years of third-class thugs. Then the next coach inherits that roster, which ensures quality recruits won't want to go there for years.I don't want a complete melt down...yet. Keep that staff together another year or two so whomever they hire has an even more daunting task.
