I was thinking this morning about what would bring the fan base back together and of the reasonable choices I do not see a good answer. 1. Retain Chizic - absolutely would tear the fan base further apart though probably unify the fans against the program. 2. Petrino - while being a solid choice bc of his coaching record there would be a huge divide in the fan base bc of his off the field issues. 3. Jimbo - whileost agree he is a solid coach there is a loud minority that thinks he has drastically underperformed at FSU and can not cut in this league. 4. Gus - split about half and half but many assume he does not have the experience needed. 5. Any coordinator - will be liked by some as an up and coming coach but most will say AU can and should do better.

So I ask you what is the best direction for our program with no clear cut consensus. The safest choice IMHO is Jimbo but it is also the least exciting.

Petrino would unify the fan base after he wins 11 or 12 games in his first year. He is the only logical choice out of who is available.

I would love to have Petrino simply because he would walk in and tell the prima donna players to sit down and shut the hell up or get to stepping.... Which is exactly what some of these d-bags need, but Petrino would definitely cause more of a rift than any others..... Now if you're asking what would be the cause for most upset it would be:

1. Retaining Chizik - Gogue and Jay Jacobs would need to barricade themselves in an armed bomb shelter. 2. Coordinator hire - Basically same reaction. 3. Petrino - We have a lot of morality judges in the fanbase and they would be up in arms with this....until Petrino ripped off a couple of 10+ win seasons, and was beating UGA and the like, and keeping it in his pants. 4. Gus - Would be a joke hire in my opinion. Just another Auburn Good Ole Boy Hire. Sorry, I think Gus will be a great head coach, but he is a coddler just like Chizik and that's the last thing this program needs right now. 5. Jimbo - I have been overly critical of Jimbo, but am starting to come around to the idea. Especially if he could bring D. Craig back home and a few others with him. 6. The happiest and most unifying thing that could happen with the fanbase would be some crazy hire like a really proven guy. I know it won't happen by any means, but a guy like Carroll or Jim Harbaugh would be something that everyone would get behind. They both have proven success in college and are both doing relatively well (really well for Harbaugh) in the NFL.

Now if you don't agree with any of that, I'll revert your attention to my signature pictures and you will become entranced and you will agree with everything I said. The End.
