Rightfully so too. Maybe they'll let Coach Miles have a phone call or two without him having to justify talking to someone.

I'm so glad, if the rumors are true, that LSU passed on Petrino back in time. It'd potentially be a real mess right now given Petrino's unusual way of signing contracts and backing out of them.

Please don't say anything negative about Petrino. And please, please don't give any stats to back up your opinion! The Piggie fans get bent out of shape.

It's my 2 cents. That's all. As far as Piggie fans, I think they got a really good coach, but you have to wonder how long he'll be there.

Obviously contractual agreements have little meaning to him. I know contracts are broken all of the time, but at least finish out a season with your players. Credibility issues are very curious.

I have never said he is not a good coach for them. Do I think he was the best fit...NO. Tubby was the only one I was really worried about for that position. I think he will be as good as Nutt BUT I do think he'll have a problem fitting in since, unlike Nutt, he's not from the area. I feel like Petrino's record at Lousiville can't be taken at face value and he is a tad bit overrated. We shall see if I'm right this time next year!
