The Bodda Getta

I posted something similar earlier today.

In games in which he was on equal ground, he rarely lost.

Meaning, when his team and the opponent had 6-8 wins, or when his team and the opponent both had 9-11 wins, or when both were ranked in the Top 10, or both his team and the opponent were ranked #11 to #25.

Under those conditions of equal head-to-head quality, Petrino's teams were 14-4. So not only did those teams have a great record against inferior teams, they were very, very good against teams with equal record or equal ranking.

I don't think people realize how thoroughly Petrino dominated in the CUSA and Big East, especially when the BE was at its best.

If he pulls out the double OT loss to WVU in 2005, he wins 3 consecutive conference titles and compiles a conference record of 20-2 in his final 3 seasons at UL.

Basically, 2 losses in OT (2005 WVU; 2006 RU) kept him from a 3-year conference record of 21-1.

I really wish this thread were pinned for reference any time somebody calls into question his coaching abilities when he is focused on his task. I think he got overly arrogant at Arkansas and lost his focus on what he should have been doing. Highly doubt Auburn would get anything other than the SUPREMELY focused Petrino who is determined to rewrite his legacy in a positive light.

You are so right guys, he is the most dominant coach who ever crapped between a pair of shoes. We better hire him before the other schools with open programs snatch him up. Folks, he is damaged goods and we can wait until any candidates we may want turn us down, he will still be there unless Southern Miss grabs him.

I certainly can't argue with that. I do like the pictures though
