Why wouldn't Miami go after Petrino ?

This is not hating on Bobby whatsoever or anything like that, nor am I hating on Arkansas. But let's be honest here, Miami is a better program then Arkansas.

He doesn't recruit all to well, but recruits to his personnel brilliantly. He will have to compete year in year out with Auburn, LSU and Alabama, and frankly who honestly wants to do that ?

He's a terrific offensive mind who I believe would do tremendously at Miami.

Thoughts ?

His base pay is $3 million/year according to some Hog fans, and I think he'll be getting a raise after this year. I'm not sure what Miami is looking to spend.

Damn. Nicely done Hogs. I'd lock him up as long as I could if I was them.

Arkansas fans also claim his buyout is something ridiculous.

Is it me or does Petrino just look like an untrustworthy person?

Something "snakeish" about Petrino

He is fixing to get a big raise, and will have a 6 million dollar buyout. He is also getting new football facilities. He is content, and has said it many times.

Its ok LSU fans though, i know you just want him gone.

Lol. Great season no doubt.

But y'all are still Arkansas. And have to compete with LSU, Auburn and Alabama year in year out. In yalls great season y'all went 1 and 2 against these 3 teams.

To me, it's to tough of a job and if he wants to win big time, like MNC's and conference titles it's at Miami, not Arkansas.

That's all im saying.

Forget looks. Walking out on the Falcons and putting notes in the players lockers telling him he was leaving tells me all I need to know about him. Great offensive mind, but lacking in the character dept imo.

I'd love for him to go to Miami and leave the SEC, but the $$ is too good at Arkansas and he can recruit well enough to be very successful there.

Hogs have a shot to play in their first BCS game, last time they went to Sugar I think Carter was president. Just simply don't know how to act in these situations. They'll be fine next year when they get back to normal Music City/Independence Bowl status.

Since 1979 Hogs bowl record is 6-16.

Petrino always wanted to be a coach in the SEC. Just read the article Pat Forde wrote the day after he left the Falcons. If Petrino ever leaves Arkansas, it's going to be for a top tier job in the SEC like Alabama, LSU or Florida.

I waited on him at a country club up here in Rogers, and he was a complete jerk to me the rest of the staff and no personality whatsoever from my experience.He will also stay because they going to be spending about $35 million on a new football operations center.

Never know when Petrino will bolt. He has a history of blting and leaving just a note on the door. See Saban in Miami 2007 and Petrino Atlanta 2007.

You dont go to Ar-Kansas to win championships, its a stepping stone, hell it was even a stepping stone to go to Ole Miss haha. National titles you go to Miami, it recruits itself and with a little help they can win their conference and be in a BCS bowl year in and year out. Petrino may go to an SEC title game or 2, probably wont win them but either way thats a win for Ar-kansas. Win 8,9. or 10 games there and your set forever, but with no rings. Go to Miami win 9 or 10 games and your in the ACC title game every year. Look Petrino is a great coach and he knows what he is doing. Miami can pay over 3 million to get him but they just arent going to go after him. Petrino may be with the Hogs for 10 years or he may leave for a good job, i dont know. If i was Miami i would want him more than Mullen or Leach the pirate for sure.


And if you listen closely in the stadium, the cheer "Arkansas......Razorbacks" sounds a lot like "Arkansas.....Trailer Trash"

He would kick arse in miami, i'm surprised his name hasn't surfaced as a target. A lot of his former recruting ties are from the florida area.The real problem is that he is pretty much locked in at arkansas, our AD took care of the job hoping reputation by giving him a good sized buy out. He is also getting a pay and buyout raise this year.
