    Having Fisher as a co-leader is interesting. Would that mean if offered he would take the job?

  • How could anyone be happy with Petrino??? He will split the fan base ten times worse than Chizik did when he arrived. If you are parents of a highly recruited player, would you want Petrino sitting in your living room? Would you want a guy who had an affair, lied about it, and destroyed his integrity and honor sitting in your living room representing Auburn? This is the same guy who bolted from the Atlanta Falcons (who by the way share many of the same southeastern fan base with Auburn) without even having a personal meeting with his players? The same guy who destroyed his career at Arkansas? Are we that desperate to "settle for" him when there are so many outstanding young coaches with integrity? Are you even kidding me that Petrino is at the top of the list? If Jacobs hires Petrino, he should be summarily fired and run off as soon as possible. Auburn is NOT a good fit for Bobby Petrino. He has a lot of restitution to make up for what he did at Arkansas and the Falcons. He needs to go coach in a lower level obscure league and rebuild his reputation (if that's possible) somewhere else besides Auburn. I'm just stunned he's being considered top tier. Amazing.

  • Easy Chaz, we are electing a football coach not a pope. While I agree Petrino's off-field escapades are not acceptable behavior, we live in a society of second chances. His ability to put a quality team on the field has never been questioned. As far as recruiting goes, kids today care about two things...seeing the field as quickly as possible and getting to the next level. The guy is a proven winner everywhere he has coached at the college level. If you can win at Louisville and Arkansas big, think what you could do at a place that actually has a recruiting base! Petrino has never had NCAA troubles, unlike his personal life. I feel Auburn needs to take the risk. He may be a bad guy personally, but he is a hell of a football coach!!

    Well said I fully agree.

  • Petrino is also known as a guy who runs a disciplined program (to as much of an extent as is possible these days). And as for the idea that Petrino's hire would split the fan base is absurd. The fan base couldn't have been more frractured than when they hired Chizik! But winning cures all ills. Hey, we would all like a coach who is a great guy and a strong family man...but the last time that happened, we finished 3-9, the NCAA was looking over our shoulder and the team was disinterested and split. And the coach just left town with $7.5 million dollars and a smile on his face.

  • I agree...Petrino might be a good coach, but the reputation of the university still matters and football is our biggest stage for that reputation. Petrino will divide the fans more than our fearless president divides the nation. We have other great options. I believe in the auburn creed. That should matter in the decision. I forgive Bobby P but that doesn't really mean I want him as my program leader.

  • Could not agree more. I swear to God, if it's Petrino, I'm out. I will NOT support him under any circumstances. I don't care about his coaching, he's scum. Auburn is and should be above that. NO to Petrino!

    There is a bigger picture than just winning, such as the hit your reputation takes over hiring someone with questionable character. All things being equal Jimbo would be the better choice all day long, as there would be no division in the an base.
