Grandpa Petrino Doesn't Give a Frick what you think....

I'm liking Kingsbury more and more

His record at Texas Tech through 6 years was worse than Sam's.

i think he's about to get a spot on the nfl retread carousel anyway.

We could, and probably will, do way worse. I'm not sure why he would generate NIL excitement though. Whoever it is will demand a huge NIL commitment.

[Barton Fink]

Yes, I do.

You weren't going to get an OC to leave their job and be the OC for a coach on the hot seat. Someone looking for a job was likely your only option.

Okay, Mrs. Pittman.

[Barton Fink]

Hell, you're the one who that knows who called who. Lol

Probably two good points and it's all speculation anyways. I'm sure Pittman did actually ask Bobby to come, just like cheeks "hired" cal,  but I doubt it was his idea to hire him. If not solely for the reason of why and how he'd gotten fired from here. He probably wouldn't have thought it was even an option but it was strongly suggested to him, in his best interest, whether he liked it or not.

[Barton Fink]

I'm sure it was suggested. It was a life card to a dead man walking. He wasn't going to get a better OC to come here.

I don't know or care whose idea it was, but impressed me that Sam was willing to do it.  Either it was a ballsy move or he was closer to getting the axe after that year than we thought and had no leverage at all. 

[Barton Fink]

I was just down from them when Bobby and Sam showed up to the basketball game. Surreal moment.

Biddy mentioned on his Walk and Talk today thet there was at least some chatter about Sam getting fired that offseason. I don't recall it being widely reported.

[Cornhogio]

It's highly unlikely we have any shot against Tennessee, even with the bye week.  You know they want a piece of our ass.  If TWill isn't fired already, maybe let him embarrass himself again against Tennessee, then fire him.

Only shock hires I can see are James Franklin and Dan Lanning

The former would be a Cal situation. The latter would be someone looking to get back to coaching in the south, but that seems like a bygone reason for a coach to leave an annual playoff contender

Aren't you just the slightest bit worried that the "shock hire" is gonna be Gundy?

[PorkyPig]

With regard to why the Petrion is here...didn't Frank Fletcher bankroll it?  That's the reason he gets what he wants?

Yes.  They are great friends and Frank wanted Bobby back, buy from Fletcher Dodge or eat at Riverfront Steakhouse.

[Show-Me Hog]

First text report that TWill gone this morning. We shall see. And hope.

[Sus-Scrofa]

First text report that TWill gone this morning. We shall see. And hope.

Imagine being TWill on Sunday and you learn that your boss was fired.

The next morning you arrive at work to a note saying "please see the head football coach immediately when you arrive."

Then you make the walk over to the head coach's office, go in, and Petrino is sitting behind the desk.

That's nightmare stuff.

Damn it we may be bringing back Willyl

[bigpig]

Three defensive coaches is a Wipeout.

I'm not complaining but I seriously hope someone is prepared to throw money around to bring in a bunch of temporary replacements.

Maybe throw a bunch of money of Muschamp. He's not coaching this season and might be DC for a year if the price is right.

Nah, much rather have Chavis (the best DC evar, per Chad).

[Feral]

All 3 needed to go.

It was obvious to anyone who knows the slightest bit about football that our defensive issues aren't just due to talent. There are glaring issues with coaching and scheme. Players playing out of position, play calls late coming in, bad angles, bad coverage schemes, ill-timed blitzes, and some of the worst tackling I've ever seen (which, along with the fumble issues, tells me we're not practicing hard or hitting in practice).

The defensive line got pushed around by Memphis and couldn't rush the passer to save their lives, and secondary was hilariously bad.
