They really showed Petrino what he is going to miss. Way to show up and play tough after all the talking of feeling "betrayed" like they aren't getting paid. Everybody is piling on Petrino and maybe I am just being contrary but this team is a pile of underachievers and dogs. And how is him quiting a professional team that is 3-10 any different than Rich Rodriguez quitting his BCS Bowl team and leaving his ala mater for more money at Michigan? I just fail to understand how they are aren't the same thing. I am not condoning either guy but it seems like one guys is getting killed while the other one is getting off the hook. And why is no one coming down on the real culprits, the college presidents, who are forcing these guys to leave a few weeks before the seasons are finished? Would it be so hard for the scum bags at the NCAA to pass a rule that you cant hire another teams head coach until after everyones season is over?

You're right. But that would mean the new coach would miss riding around in boosters' private planes to make these December recruiting trips. Can't have that.

So coaching somwhere 7 years and leaving a program in better shape than you found it is worse than skipping out in year one of the program? Maybe those crazy hillbillies should have thought about that before they started threatning his wife & family after the Pitt loss. Don't think they're nuts? Take a look.

Oh and yeah I'm biased.

obviously, I feel for the players....it's not fair to them. Hopefully they'll get that figured out I only heard 2 coaches and the strength/conditioning coach so far.

i guess they'll give the head job to terry "buster brown" bowden and let him scrounge up a staff. for the bowl game.

if they had playoffs, coaches wouldn't have to jump ship and leave kids hanging.

#13 12-17-2007, 11:33 AM

So Rudy's wife took the head coaching job at Michigan? Because that's who they're getting. I've never seen a more pussywhipped man than him.

Please ma'am.

This guy is doomed at Michigan and he doesn't even know it.

horseofcourse · #16 12-17-2007, 11:46 AM

So when did Les Miles change his name to Rich Rodriguez?? This is simply a freaky friday body switch is all I can come up with.

#17 12-17-2007, 11:54 AM

He's a terrible coach. I was relieved when his wife said no to Bama.

Pitt? Are you kidding me?

Well RR did not leave after the season was over.

A distasteful person....very much so.

I hate to tell you this Delta but the Falcons season was over as soon as Vick got busted and the mid season in the NFL is the last week of October not the second week of December. And Rodriguez's team still has its biggest game yet to play so it is hard to say it is after the season for them.
