Damn it we may be bringing back Willyl

Imagine going from a guy that everyone was promoting as the next head coach somewhere to a guy hitting the unemployment line.  Rough.

And the on-field result improving...

Williams was on the Falcons when Bobby was there. It's hard to imagine there wasn't some residual tension when they ended up on the same staff.

My biggest worry is that the defensive players continue to lay down and quit as a protest to losing their buddy DC to the big mean OC

The D staff firing should've happened at halftime. Let the GA's get a shot at proving their worth.

What is Charlie Strong doing these days...I don't imagine there's much of a relationship between BMFP and him though. I won't be shocked if it's a Bobby Allen type coming in. Just a few older guys that love that helmet would be better than the slugs we have now.

Then they won't be playing, most likely.  The Second/Third stringers will be playing until they find someone willing to put out effort, even if they player isn't as good.  The loafer can loaf on the bench.

More of the same is certainly a possibility, but they were already doing this so might as well try something new.

Posted in another thread, but the father of the FHS QB, who happens to be highly recruited for the 2027 class, is currently in an off-field defensive staff role.  Expect him to get promoted.

If he's healthy enough and available I'd expect Steve Caldwell to come back and work with the DL now that Deke is gone.  Too bad Hurtt isn't around to give us inside scoop on that - Caldwell is his cousin, I think.

Good thing T-Will has the record label to fall back on. Should have spent more time learning to call a defense instead of trying to rhyme.

Bobby ain't messing around with the anti-Reggie Herring.

Yeah, what would we be losing if they continue to not try making plays?

Che Hendrix is on the support staff...former Tx high school coach. Judging by googles I think he has a son playing at Air Force and this article says he's got a son committed to Arkansas...

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.

Should be an interesting presser at noon.

The son isn't committed...at least not publicly yet...but he is pretty highly recruited.  Lane Kiffin has already offered him.

Another possibility with BMFP ties...Todd Grantham, who was his DC at Louisville the second time around, just got shitcanned yesterday at Okie State.  I've never been a huge fan of his, but he's a known hardass that might be able to clean up some sloppiness.  If nothing else, we'll have to have bodies in those roles.  I'm sure the pool of competent coaches sitting around doing nothing in early October is pretty small.

Josh Throne was talking yesterday on the 4th & 5 podcast about being on the scout team running plays against the 1 defense and watching Petrino come down and chew Willy's ass daily over one detail or another that displeased him. The new DC better have thick skin.

PS: It appears Grandpa Petrino does not exist.

Cam Ball hasn't bought in...

maybe pittman was given an ultimatum on these guys and said, no thanks i'll take my money. it's very unusual for an interim to make these moves.

the portal could get interesting. petrino still needs to win some games to keep the job.

Not sure what to think about that.  I get his coach(s) got fired but still not a good look.

He's sucked as bad as anyone. Fire him too.

[DirkPiggler]

I wouldn't read too much into these reactions.  A couple of buddy-buddy type coaches just got fired.  Of course the players from whom they didn't demand enough hard work are going to be pissed. 

If some of them quit, so fucking what?  The eleven least athletic guys on this board could strap on the pads and allow the other team to score a TD on every possession where they were actively trying.
