Personally I want UF to hire Mike Leach. Yeah I know he's got baggage, but he brings a couple of positives to the mix. He's tough on off the field issue, something Meyer wasn't, which is something we need to clean up. His offense always put up points, yes I know SEC defenses are different, and I wouldn't mind going back to a more Fun and Gun offense.

Biggest takeaway from this, Brantley stays if Petrino gets the job.

Of course I do...look what a little more college did for JaMarcus Russell. -(P

I am sure our tiny contingent of Auburn fans would love to hear what the Memphis airwaves are talking.
Mullen to FLA, Malzahn to Miss State. It's all just legos, putting a piece here and a piece there, but one
can never count out the Oddness of the SEC coaching carousel. I wonder what they plug into Auburn
the musical chair left empty by their theory?

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

Mark my words... Petrino will NOT be leaving my beloved Hogs! Sure, if any college could take him away it would probably be UF. But the thing is... there is soooo little upside for him in it. Sure a bit more money and easier recruiting, but at what cost?

He'll prove every hater from Cali to Atlanta that all of the ESPiN pundits and MSM were right to call him a drifter and an opportunist with no loyalty. He'll piss off the one fan base that completely united behind him (and collectively gave the media the middle finger) when everyone else was bashing him. He throws away the chance to take a team that everyone writes off as second tier (Thanks Nutt!) all the way to the BCS MNC -- and lets face it, that could very well be next year. He and his family LOVE Arkansas and Arkansas LOVES Petrino. Our AD (Long) has given Petrino carte blanche and has already (rumored) placed an extension with pay raises annually for both Petrino AND his assistants (at Petrino's request), a HEAVY buyout, and pretty much everything else Petrino could want. When Petrino got to Arkansas he asked for new/upgraded facilities, he got all $30+ million worth of upgrades.

Essentially what he has at Arkansas is about the best you can get. A chance to prove yourself as a coach... To build, in the face of adversity, an elite program. To beat the giants with the underdogs. The love of an entire state, a united fan base, a program that stands 100% behind him. And recruits coming in by the droves to play under him.

If he goes to UF he has to contend with Meyer being over his shoulder -- which he'll hate. A fan base that is NOT on board, a program that is so highly touted that if you lose a game you're in the hot seat... Not to mention 2+ yrs of installing a drastically different program before the real results start showing. An AD that is not as likely to give carte blanche... And he ruins his chance to repair his rep and give a fat FU to the media that has hated on him non-stop since Atlanta.

Just sayin'.

I know that you SEC boys are scared to bet on Auburn since we know that Oregon is going to win.

an honest troll for once :D i saw that contest and it looks awesome. as cliche as it sounds i can't afford to put up $12 as a grad student :r

I have Oregon as well :sl

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

Bad news for the Ducks offense as breaking reports just shared Cam Newton is now playing defensive end for the NC game. I think he's pissed he didn't win all the Defensive POY awards, too. :r

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

Fully understand the lack of funds as a grad student. I did put in the price of another fee trying to get one of the ToE to join in but no takers on their side. So if you are willing to do a little "recruiting" the spot is yours.

Join us for a good time and PIF later when you are making millions :D

Back to subject matter: Arkansas - chokes or shows up for the game?

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

Damn his dad is going to be pissed. He only got money for Cam to play offense :r

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

I guess you are right, I mean he doesn't have any kind of record of abrupt bolting...yeah, you're probably right, :r:r

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

Heh. Word out of campus is that Petrino just signed a 7yr contract extension (through 2017) with a mutual 6mil buyout and annual raises for both him and his assistants.

BMFP is home in Arkansas! That prospect has to scare the crap out of you fellow West guys... 2018 is a long time to wait to reach the SECCG ;)

Former Gator linebacker Brandon Spikes has been suspended for four games for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing drugs. :(

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

nah....as long as we keep cherry-picking the best players out of Arkansas at will (Lee Ziemba, Michael Dyer, Kiehl Frazier), I think we'll do just fine. :tu

Meh... World Wide Walt and the Shiloh Mafia won't be able to keep funneling talent to Gus (especially when he DOES leave) for too much longer - especially if any of the pending law suits pan out against Walt.

As for Dyer... He was a douche of a kid, and frankly BMFP didn't want him or his attitude on our team. Ziemba, that one hurts a bit... but we'll be fine. Frazier = overrated compared to what we have in depth and what BMFP can bring in with his history of building QBs. Those also aren't even close to AR's best players.
