re: Petrino Extension - 7 years

I will sleep better tonight. He just got more expensive to hire away.

I would have been devastated had he left. I honestly would not have been happy with anyone replacing him. Not even Saban.

The Haters can think what they want but we made a homerun hire when we got Petrino.

What about this schedule is favorable????
i guess I am missing something, this is a MUCH harder schedule than this year.

Now King, don't go disagreeing with his opinion. He is a LSU fan and this is a LSU board...divine right and shite.

Kind of like at Louisville when he signed a 10-year extension and left the next season.

They calculated his contracts on the radio yesterday. It was something like 26 years of contracts between 3 teams in 4 seasons. Oh yeah...and he tried to get Tommy's job from under him at Auburn while he was his OC.

It's a desperate attempt by the AD...to keep the chatter down, we did it too with Saban and Miles.

Arky is a solid program (great facilities), but it's firmly planted in the middle of the pack of the SEC and won't move up IMHO regardless of a few bowl wins.. The SEC is loaded with tradition and big boy football programs.

Take Tennessee for example..they are down right now, but from a total "program" standpoint and overall tradition of winning, they are way ahead of a program like Arkansas. I guess I am really talking about national perception. I can't remember Arkansas ever winning the SEC or anything of "significance". Until that happens, they can't change perception they are trying to change.

Arkansas is too close to Missouri which is the "show me state"...they are still waiting for Arkansas to "show them something"

Joe Schad is some dbag Auburn hater so otherwise I would tell OP to GTFO and GFY SRSLY but KNWA also reported Tuberville to Arkansas and they are definitely legit. LINK

Arkansas owns LSU.

I guess that is why Saban's team finished behind Arkansas - with the obligatory "superior athletes".

Saban is a much better defensive coach.

Petrino is a much better offensive coach.

That I could agree on.

But Petrino has won how many SEC's?

How many MNC?

Get back to us on what win MNC..offense or defense?

I guess this years MNC game will be more about defense than we think won't it?
