LSU did interview Petrino before offering the job to Miles.

Selection committee wasn't impressed with him during the interview. Could have been his attitude that turned them off him.

He was a very fashionable candidate at that time. Louisville's offense was putting up big numbers under Petrino then.

Another problem was that he'd been sneaky and accepted the invitation to interview with Auburn behind everyone's back. Tuberville had been the one to help him get the HC job at Louisville.

When word leaked on the Auburn side, Petrino straight denied that the meeting ever took place. He lied to everyone back in Louisville.

There's a couple legitimate red flags right there. Glad the selection committee did its job!

As Jim Rome said today, Petrino stabbed Atl in the back, did the same thing to Louisville and he tried to stab Tubby in the back. It's only a matter of time before he does it to Ar-kansas.

He met with the Aubies, behind his former bosses' back, the man who gave him his chance and recommeded him for the UL job and did it without asking permission of UL.

Tubby will have the Ar-Kansas game circled.
