If I was G I would not want him either. They would end up being in the same position they are now in a year or two if Petrino had any success at all. You hire a big name coach like that and you are just asking to be another stepping stone.Quote:

And if we took an informal poll of university presidents and leading businessmen, "exposed my previous employer to possible legal action" would not be something they'd want to see on a resume.Quote:

:+1: if schools worried about character, the SEC wouldn't have half their coaches :DQuote:

Not really. Your average employee can't screw someone over like he has. Average CEO, maybe.
Tennessee finally settles on Butch Jones
http://news.cincinnati.com/article/2...xt%7CFRONTPAGE
my knowledge of him is very little, soo good hire?
Basically, he's been Brian Kelly's understudy his last 2 jobs and won so this is his chance to shine without being in his shadow.Quote:

Supposedly an offer is on the table from Arkansas State for Petrino. 1.3M per year, 3M buyout first year. Wouldn't be surprised for something to be announced early next week.
If not Petrino, other strong candidates are Neal Brown (TTU OC) and Eddie Gran (FSU Assistant HC).
Reportedly, Steelers offensive line coach Sean Kugler will be the next head coach at UTEP.

Apparently it's losing momentum actually... apparently there are some big money donors who are very much against Petrino. Added, there hasn't been an official offer to Petrino. I think just feeling out on both sides, though Petrino is very much interested.Quote:

With Tuberville taking over in Cincinnati, that could lead to Neal Brown being back into contention at Arkansas State...
Ark St needs to hire Gran from F$U. :D
Stunning. Can't wait to see someone explain what happened to cause that. No way Tuberville thinks Cincinnati is his path to a better job. Unless he thinks it's better for him (i.e. long-term job with less pressure to win than in Texas?)Quote:

True enough :D
While I have not heard any rumors, this is just sort of a personal opinion, after today's game, on something that may or may not happen this year, next year or anytime soon, but I hope Army plans to stick with Rich Ellerson for a while yet and don't try to run him off.
Yes, with today's loss, he is now 0-4 against Navy, and he is now 17-31 overall at Army. He may be 0-4 against Navy, but Army has been playing their toughest against Navy every since he arrived. Ellerson (and Army) has, in his four years, the four closest losses to Navy every since Army won back in 2001. Army made their first bowl appearance since 1996 under Ellerson when they made the Armed Forces Bowl in 2010.
They have had some great games and some big wins in the last four years, they just haven't been able to full get it put together to become a consistent team like Navy has been the last 10 years. So hopefully the leaders there at the Military Academy give him more time to try and turn Army around for the better. He, as coach, has helped to make the Army-Navy game one truly exciting game every year and no longer the Navy steamrolling over Army that it had been for most of the last decade.
Only problem I see with Ellerson's Army teams is that they seem to be overly ... I don't know what the word is, but I noticed today that they were hitting the hole fast and quick, and sometimes to their detriment. There was no patience in their mesh points, and they lost the ball way too many times with a 4-year starter at quarterback. It was like, in their effort to catch the opponent quickly they were at that tipping point of risk/reward. And while that could be nerves and other factors at play, other teams are able to deal with those same nerves, and these are future military leaders of the country in this one. So I'd expect nerves wouldn't be necessarily at play.
Anyway, I agree with you that Ellerson should stick around. I just was struck by how many of the errors by Army today seemed to be self-inflicted, and perhaps by scheme.
Yeah, the errors have been a plague for Army, not just today, not just all season long, but also past Army-Navy games and past seasons. If Army could overcome those mistakes, stop fumbling the ball, and have more patience to let the plays fully develop, they'd be just as successful and as dangerous a team as Navy has been since 2003 in my opinion.Quote:

If Army loses again to Navy next year, for the 12th year in a row and 5th year in a row against Ellerson, it very well may be and probably will be his last.
And with the way the last four years have been, with the Army-Navy game getting closer and closer with each year. Since the end of the 2008 season, after which Ellerson got hired, Army has closed the gap of defeat from 34, to 14, to 14 to 6 to 4. Army has been taking Navy down to the very end the last few years. So it truly is only a matter of time, I honestly believe as soon as next year, that Army will be Navy. For Ellerson's sake, it probably must be next year.
You can more or less scratch off Petrino to Arkansas State... after watching his ESPN interview from August, I could tell he wasn't that contrite and apparently the admin felt the same.

As well, Neal Brown going to Kentucky removes him from discussion and Kingsbury getting a nice fat raise plus TTU becoming open essentially removes him.
Now we're looking at Monken at Oklahoma State, Chad Morris at Clemson, and one of the top DCs in the country that has asked to keep his name out of it for the time being (though I would put him at very unlikely). Eddie Gran (FSU Asst. HC) is also a candidate but some think that is just a push from our Scout.com guy since they're already buddy-buddy.
If all of that falls through, we'll probably fall back on our current DC, John Thompson. Thompson was a HC at ECU for a couple of years about 8 years ago. Some call him a flop while others say he was put into a bad situation. I think if he can find the right OC then he could be good, plus it could keep much of the current staff together which would be a good thing.
Looks like Petrino has now moved on to Western Kentucky...

Bobby Petrino is on the campus of Western Kentucky University.
Mike MacIntyre (SJSU) to Colorado
http://www.dailycamera.com/lifestyle...otball-program
Of course ASU passed on him. Doesn't your mascot (Howl) enter on a motorcycle? No school can have him as a coach and anything motorcycle related in the future. (And no features on blonde volleyball players on the jumobotron, either.)Quote:

Western Kentucky will announce Bobby Petrino as its new head football coach at 4 p.m. today.
On one hand I'm glad that we passed on him but on the other, not really excited about facing him on the field.
According to CoachingSearch.com, Southern Miss hires Todd Monken (OK State OC).
*edit
news article to back it up

Jealous. :blush:
That could be a real good move for the Buffs. MacIntyre took a struggling SJSU program and got a lot of improvement out of them. Could do the same at CU.Quote:

Arkansas State interviewed Eddie Gran yesterday, interviewing Bryan Harsin (Texas OC) today. Supposedly Josh Heupel is also in the mix.
Hard to go from Kingsbury, Neal Brown, Todd Monken, Chad Morris, Bobby Petrino, then now to looking at those three... just not the same excitement level that we started at.
Well. It isn't quite the Boise State of the South. ;)
