Hugh Freeze out at Ole Miss

[PhatOrange]

If Dino leaves it'll be for a program way better than Ole Miss.

If Ole Miss offers Bobby Petrino more money that Louisville, I think he will be gone. He cannot stay in one place too long as his gimmicky coaching* only lasts so long. Sure, he can get some good kids and can actually install a decent system, but he does not win championships and he does not build dynasties, he builds only for the moment. He tends to leave when he suspects the cupboard will be bare. Louisville lost their O-line and LJ will be their offense for at least most of the season, a good time to make an exit. Regardless, since his name is being bandied about, expect him to parley this into a raise from Louisville.

*Contrast Petrino with Swinney, Fisher, Saban, Meyer, etc. These guys build teams with staying power and merely re-load. Whenever Petrino leaves, there is nothing left for the next HC.

If this does happen, you think they try and get Strong back?

 

[Alsacs]

I think the next Ole Miss coach is either Chad Morris from SMU or Larry Fedora from UNC.

They may. They can afford a good coach so almost any decent coach not at factory or upstart program would have to listen.

I will be surprised if Louisville gets more than five or six years from Petrino. He follows money too easily to say no.

 

[upperdeck]

why would dino want to go from a rebuild to another rebuild that will be on sanctions for 2-3 years. now if this was a few years from now and we are trending and the sanctions were over, then perhaps.

you also have to think that he brings along a pretty big band that just got re-established and would have to be all uprooted again so quickly

Despite all the hair on that program, I somehow don't think they have any issues with their medical team.

Medical team vs a smacking of sanction from the NCAA

will coaches recruit possible transfers in the parking lot like they did when PED st. players got free transfers?

Petrino might stay at UL after giving him a second chance. Pick your poison, our division in the ACC or the SEC west. Both are rough. His offense is legit, not gimmicky, it's the real deal. Not any offense puts up 70 on a FSU defense. Petrino is very validated regarding his offensive prowess.

How good were the teams after he left? Not quite so stellar. He leaves the cupboard bare. When he wins year in and year out with no significant drop offs at one place I will reconsider my opinion.

If he stays at Louisville it is because he didn't get an offer, not because he suddenly found character. As for wanting the SEC, that may be what he wants, though he may hope for one of the bigger schools.

Personally, I think he realizes that he really is not that special once the top dogs figure him out. Now he has Swinney, Fisher and Babers to deal with. Yeah, he spanked the Orange last season but let's see how he does this fall. Additionally, there are several other coaches in the league that probably match up well with him.

You are welcome to stand up for him but I enjoy watching him get beat and will enjoy when he falls apart again. And I have no animosity against Louisville, just their head coach.

Kragthorpe, Petrino's replacement at Louavul, was terrible. But once he was fired, Charlie Strong rebuilt them rapidly. To me, that says Petrino was building them into a program, not just a team, and Kragthorpe nearly destroyed it. How much of our opinion of Petrino is influenced by his record as a coach and how much by his record as a motorcycle rider?

Arkansas might disagree, without he motorcycle/cheating incident.

Kragthorpe was a bad coach but it wasn't as if he had greatest talent when he walked in the door.

 

[NJCuse97]

Kragthorpe was hired as a QB whisperer and was the reason UL got Matt Simms. Rumor was that Phil made it clear Kragthorpe needed to be the hire if they wanted a shot at his son.
