The NEXT Coach

[Piggielicious]

Listened to Kevin Kelley while grabbing lunch today and they were talking about the coaching search. He said he called Gruden to talk about it, and he thinks the university wants it to be Petrino. Said they want him to show enough progress that they promote him.

I think that would be the best case scenario. He is a proven winner (and fighter?), and I bet he would sign a favorable contract. Even if he doesn't, they won't have to fire him for losing if they back him with enough NIL.

Was thinking about that earlier. I feel like he'd almost negotiate his own contract. I feel like he'd sign up under 5 mil or at least have it incentive laden to get upwards of that. And not the bs loser incentives Pittman had.

 Can we filter prospects whose agent is Sexton out and look at the remaining.

It tends to make sense to steer away from that guy but he's all over the place.

Take that for what it is worth. That does make sense in the fact that they gave him the ok to make immediate staff changes. We shall see....

They could be right... Maybe it's my inner cynic, but this feels so much like a set up for failure scenario.  Give him his shot, even let him make staff decisions, then when he can't turn the boat around enough say "Well, we gave him his shot and he couldn't do it.  Fans, we gave you what you wanted and it didn't work, so can we please stop hearing about the man?" kind of thing.  Like throwing the Petrino "would have been" contingent a poison bone.  I hope I'm wrong.  I HOPE they're giving him a real shot, and I hope he shows enough improvement, and I hope that they are conducting a real coaching search in the mean time.  I HOPE they will ultimately pick the BEST option for the program, be it Bobby or someone else.

[Barton Fink]

Odds are stacked against him for sure.

GJ Kinne and Texas St take on Arkansas St Saturday at 3 on ESPNU if you want a look at candidate against a common opponent.

Looked up Kinne on Wikipedia and didn't know this.  I remember hearing about this when it happened but didn't know this was his dad.

"In the spring of 2005, Kinne's father, who was also his coach at Canton High, was shot in the chest by the disgruntled parent of one of the players he coached."

Any word on if BP has reached out to the recruits and made any attempt to pull any back into the boat?  If he is working hard on keeping guys then maybe that is an indicator that he is truly being considered.

He mentioned one player who decommitted solely because he needs to keep his options open without a coach in place. He said everyone is talking to the recruits, but also said decommitments are going to happen as long as the head coaching position is in limbo.

Give that man a two year pass!

The only thing missing is being on a men's league basketball team with HDN

You think he might be a big balla?

I listened to BP's call with reporters on Monday.

Something that stood out to me was the fact that every AR reporter - except Trey Bidd - referred to Petrino as "Bobby."

Trey and the national guys, including someone from the AJC, referred to him as "coach."

Fucking slobs.

Hopefully when the interim tag is removed BMFP rips their heads off for that disrespect.

Noticed that too and thought it was disrespectful.

I think Lashlee will be a redux of Gus in 2017. We'll go all out for him, he'll string the Springdale boosters along, and we'll get left holding our dicks. He'll either coach himself out of the opportunity and/or simply say no because he views it as a career killer (which it kind of has been since Petrino).

If BMFP doesn't get the job, we need to hire from the cohort of young guys. Sumrall, Golesh, Kinne, and Morris.

Sumrall would be my first choice. Knows the SEC and has won at a high clip, but I figure he's probably holding out for the UK job.

I like Kinne and Morris but they're damn young and still very green.

What does "know the SEC" mean?  I would hope that every candidate understands the importance of football in the south?  I think that serves absolutely no purpose/ has zero value in acquiring a coach.......

They did with Sam as well.

I would think it means "knows the caliber of athlete you need in the SEC."

They've done this with all the coaches for the last several years, probably since 2012.

Bob Holt was the worst. May he rest in peace.

"Hey Bobby, your back on the sidelines coaching the Razorbacks. Whaddaya think about that?"

RIP Bob. You were definitely one of a kind.
