The NEXT Coach

[vegashog]

his take on petrino:

Arkansas OC and interim coach Bobby Petrino

Petrino is the wildest of wild cards. He's 64. He's scandal-ridden. He's a punchline. However, the school approved his return as offensive coordinator last season, put him in charge for the remainder of this season and indicated that he would be considered for the full-time job.

In his first stint at Arkansas, he went from 5-7 in his first season in 2008 to 11-2 and No. 5 in the nation in his fourth season before all heck broke loose when he got on that motorcycle.

He has a bye week to get this team ready for a trip to No. 15 Tennessee. Then, it's No. 6 Texas A&M. Then, Auburn and Mississippi State, before the Hogs finish at No. 13 LSU, at No. 9 Texas and then No. 19 Mizzou. That's five top 20 teams, plus an MSU team that's beaten Arizona State and given the Vols all they could handle.

If Petrino can get the Hogs to win at least four of those seven and become bowl-eligible, could they convince themselves to give him the job again? Doubtful, but it's Petrino, and it's Arkansas. Literally nothing is off the table.

He was right but things changed.

Sounds like a certain poster on here.

Wasn't it Briles' offense that could go up and down the field ... but only between the 20s, and then get inside red zone and completely collapse? Rope a dope, too much movement and get like one yard Briles?
He can take that to okie state.

Yeah, he would kill drives in some impressively stupid ways too.

Saban has more money than Jefferson Davis. He ain't coming out of that cushy job he has on Gameday to get back into the grind of coaching again. He is still a better coach than 99% of the ones in the field today, but I think he is comfortable and is a hero in Bama. Hell, he owns the state.

No, but we might could tempt him to come in and teach this fucking department how to build a winning program and department.  Like a consultant... but actually give him the reigns to implement changes.  Hell, maybe he'd like to be an AD? lol.

Petrino should be given time to try again.  There wasn't a single reason to fire him given the source of the action was Jeff Long, a dastardly son of a bitch.

That said, Dan Mullen should be the singular target.

Not sold on Gruden, even though it's obvious that he wants the job.  The thickening of his skin and creeping rosatia on his face indicates to me that he's an alcoholic.

I couldn't stand a lot of Kendal Briles play calls because he'd get too cute, but he produced good results.  The offense looked sharp and well-coached under him.  The beginning of the end for Pittman was his departure.  If we are going the coordinator route, then Briles should be the only person we consider.  He's familiar with the program and anything we offer will be a raise.

Gm would be fantastic

How is it obvious Gruden wants the job?  Dan Mullen??  Really?  Why?

Kendal Briles sucked and couldn't score in the red zone, remember?  Offense didn't look sharp or well coached to me at all.

he still has an office in the bama football complex. if he's going to be a gm, i figure it would be there.

in fact i wouldn't doubt he is the gm.

Seriously, how long have you even been on this board?  Did you never eat at Powerhouse?

arkansas football.

the most exciting time is when nobody knows what the fuck is going on, lol.

If Saban wants to do it...fuck it let him do it and pay that man his money. 

If Petrino wins at least 3 games with this bunch he should be coach of the planet

Beyond those two I'd rather have a up and comer that's proven something as a head coach 


Dan Mullen could never figure out QB at either MSU or Florida. If it weren't for Dak I don't know that he would have ever really had a guy at MSU. I mean I guess he wouldn't be the worst hire but I think we could do better. Who's getting excited for Dan Mullen?

Long enough to know it ain't done til the tie has been sighted.

Maybe he would want to be a hero in another state. He's got Louisiana and Alabama already.

I would hire him to just break down tape to these guys and tell them where they are fucking up.

Y'all aren't taking that post about Saban seriously, are you?  It's a joke, people.

Briles as OC under Petrino might work because BMFP could "direct" him to cut out the cute shit and stick to what works.

[buff2.0]

Briles isn't up for learning a playbook.

[jdcatty]

I'm not for Briles at all.  The master of the double reverse pass two yards behind the line of scrimmage on 3rd and 4...
