Fair comparison.
Think it was more about the stage being too big for him. Part of it is probably the hurry up being slowed a bit, though it should still be a lot faster than he's running it now, but what really hurt is his playcalling. It stinks.
We have a fair mix. JJ didn't pan out.
It's sad but humorous to us I guess that Auburn had the guy in their hand but pulled an LSU, an emotional to the defense of the wronged nightmare. People that wanted Tubberville gone came over to the other side. I know Lowder and the whole South Trust bankruptcy, which much was not his fault. Some fraud out of Florida. But that Petrino put 63 in FSU. That would be a slam. Auburn has the cash, but does Petrino want back in the SEC? If he does, I would believe he would choose Auburn because he is part of the family. You never know. That is why I am not cocky, things between Bama and Auburn can change on a dime.
At this point I just want Gus, Lashlee and Jay Jacobs out the damn door. Fire them all. Gus because he can't call a coherent game. Rhett because all he does is hold Gus's clipboard and get his coffee or something. Jay for being a moron and extending him after last year.
I changed it. That was a people pleasing remark, of course I know who the best coach is. Please forget and do not read too much other than I was happy to see FSU get 63 laid on them.
Dye doesn't have as much say as you think he does, but the attitude that leads to guys like Jay Jacobs in charge of our athletic department is a problem.
Yes he was part of the problem. Getting on Finebaum and spilling his guts on his opinions. I do think he has faded somewhat the past few years. He would rather be out deer hunting. But that culture does go back. From paying Bowden to shut up and the back and forth back stabbing between the programs. I do think those times are over. Auburn will never be Alabama, who is? But I think they are better off today than during the Tubby last years. They could hire a good coach and be back in the top 3 in the west pretty quick I think.
I am left handed and have flaws but also unbiased with good spatial perspective. It makes sense if AU cannot get a Petrino. Al I know is that he was a fine coach under Carroll, dynasty #1, went to coach an NFL team at 32 years old, and his Vol team played us harder than any other since, and that he walked into a probation situation with a unstable AD at USC. And will have 3 years under CNS. Just speculation
Ive heard Kevin Steele being an interim head coach if Gus is fired before the season is over. That comes from people that I know that are somewhat in the know at Auburn. But Ive heard that Auburn would most likely throw the moon at Herman and petrino, and would probably look at people like Gundy, Shaw, and Briles after that. But they are kinda indicating that Kiffin and other coordinator and lesser head coaches are in the if Plan A and Plan B fails category. But I have no idea how reliable the Plan B Im hearing is, but the interim coach thing and Plan A seems like a likely scenario.
I wonder if they will ever pull in the Plan A caliber coach with Dye, Jacobs & the clown posse of boosters they have?
After yesterday I think Petrino wont ever consider leaving Louisville ever again. He if making it into a legit power. Herman would be stupid to give up that much power for a school not named Texas, Alabama, ND, tOSU, or Oklahoma.
