Why isn't UT looking at Petrino?

Roll the dice. No brainer IMO.

No joke.

Hire him, parade him around and say he is reformed. Win games.


BUT, the last 3 jobs he had he has left dumpster fires, so being hesitant is understandable.

Because their program is "above" Petrino.

I agree.

I thought this from the beginning.

It could be he doesn't want the job, I guess. They might not meet his level of professionalism.

I tend to think and just a pure guess on my part but IMO anc certainly just an opinion but I believe that the SEC presidents had one of those back room conversations where Petrino has been black balled from the SEC for a while. Dont know how long but for a couple of years anyway.

Would be a great hire but he is toxic when it comes to the PR nightmare the hire would cause.

Auburn didn't hire him, UT won't hire him. He's a great coach, I really think something else went on at Arkansas.

Petrino would be a great hire. I'd give him a shot. Of course, that depends on how badly Tennessee wants to win. I don't think Tennessee would catch the flack like perhaps Auburn would have. They have a better reputation.

I sure wish they'd just hire someone good and shut these Arky fans up. The way they're parading around you'd think they won the fricking powerball.
