I heard he was a cocky little bastard when they talked to him and we backed away. I'm telling it exactly like I heard it. They also felt like Miles had more experience because of the NFL and coaching in a major conference.

They didn't like his character or his responses about academics.

Petrino acted an arse in the interview. I think they also knew he had an eye on the NFL

My Dad has a friend who claimed to be "in the know" at the time and he relayed this exact same thing. Said Petrino walked in with a what-can-you-guys-do-for-me, sell-me-on-your-program attitude and he was shown the door rather quickly.

This might be complete BS...but looking at the guy, I believe it.
