You're the AD, and the only 2 available HC candidates for your school are Lane Kiffin and Bobby Petrino? You have to choose one. Which?

You mean the super successful head coach vs. the mediocre but unproven one? Great question.

Petrino as HC Kiffin as OC. Sark as QB coach.

I'm thinking Kiffen learned a lot from one of the best HCs in fb and has matured a lot too. He wasn't ready to handle the big-time HC jobs he had earlier. We'll all know a lot more about all that when we see how Kiffin handles his new opportunity at FAU.

I doubt Petrino's character has improved much.

Considering the above and what it would cost to hire Kiffin vs Petrino, to me it's an easy decision. I'd hire Kiffin.

Pretty good early step by Lane:

ESPN | Lane Kiffin to donate to scholarship fund for every season ticket sold

Kiffin. He's a dick but Petrino is a slimy douchebag.

If we're talking about who's the more evil person... it's not really a contest

Let's compare:

Kiffin: boy genius, big BIG history of arrogance, immaturity, might meet his potential and excel, or might leave the program in a divisive mess; clock is ticking and he has something to prove

or

Petrino: arrogant offensive mastermind, breeds poor sportsmanship and loves to blow out undermanned opponents, has the ethics and integrity of a ghetto pimp, will get a lot of empty wins but can't reach the top rung, continues to be exposed as one of the sleaziest slimeballs in football and is an almost sure bet to leave the program in shambles and likely probation.

What's behind door number 3?

If I had to make a choice, it would be to roll the dice on Kiffin and hope he has grown up some. If he has, can be another Sean Payton.
Petrino's well on his way to being blacklisted.

Petrino
won everywhere he went except ATL when the QB Vick was arrested for dog fighting.
functionally the same thing happened to Saban when Ricky Williams moved to Canada.

I would take a big class football state championship high school coach at random over Kiffin.
His HC record is turrble. plus you have the coed recruiters at UTk.

Kiffin is a terd

Petrino is a terd, a-hole, morally bankrupt, a-hole, egomaniac, cheating, lying bastard of a human being. Plus he's an a-hole
