Patrino resigns from Atl, will coach Arky

[Godfather]

You must be ONLY watching ESPN.  Fox Sports, Best Damn, the morning shows, all of them are calling him a weasel.   It's not going to be easy for him, no matter how good on the x's and o's he is.

I think he's even more loathed right now than Saban....and that's not easy.

To be honest and I would never admit this to a bammer both coaches IMO made a better decision, Atlanta is a mess right now, Petrino made the right call to get out...and the only team worse than Atlanta is the Miami Dolphins.  Course it doesn't hurt when you offer your soul to get a coach either (a la spuat)

I don't think the recruits give a shit....the media makes a big deal of it, fans of the opposing school poke fun, but after that who else gives a shit.  I don't consider Arkansas a rival (more like an annoying pest, I could give shit who there coach is, chances are Tubs will probably do better now that Fuck Nutt is gone, course now we got to worry bout Ole Piss)

It is interesting to see the different take by ESPN on Rodriguez to Michigan and Petrino to Arkansas.  Some huge inconsistencies.  I do think the Petrino storm will blow over in time.  If the Saban thing has almost gone away, I can't see this going on for long either.

I will NEVER let the Saban thing go away.  Where is another Bammer I can harass about it?

We do need some whipping boys.  Invite 'em in.

Outside of the gutter or maybe a suicide hotline I'm not sure where to get them from?

There's a small handful on AUN.

Drop some bait at BamaMag if you must.

I feel dirty just thinking about it.

Once he wins some big games, it will blow over. Razor how is recruiting going for the Hog's? Petrino should make and immediate impact.

[Razorhawk]

On the recruiting front on one player has decommited a cornerback from Houston, Tx now going to Boston College.  On the other hand it looks as if we have landed a QB from Greenwood, Ark that would not have come if Nutt had been there.

I think the recruiting side of the this whole thing will definitely be a positive.

The man is one hell of a coach, but he will be named in any and all coaching searches!

So?

[Razorhawk]

I figure if the Hogs can keep him for 4 years, they will be lucky.  I do think that most were just so glad to get rid of Nutt, that almost anyone would have been greeted with open arms.

I will be more interested in how he is accepted if he has what are perceived as sub par year(s)?  It is pretty well recognized that he can be a first class prick in general.  You can be a prick when you are winning and folks just say, "he's intense" or "focused".  If you are a prick when you are losing you're just a prick.

I don't care if a coach is the nicest guy in the world, if he doesn't win games the fan base (ANY fan base) isn't going to like it.

Fair enough but it is a lot easier to take when a fucker isn't all up in your grille over it.

As a Razorback basketball season ticket holder, let me assure you that no, it is not.

I don't think any sensible Hog fan has high expectations for next season. We're losing a lot of talent and the schedule will be much tougher.  I suspect Petrino will get a pass for the time being......unless he has email-sending lesbian friends or an anchorwoman fetish.

Donna may be looking for the next BIG story.

I actually had no problems with him and the anchor woman.  Some of the most successful coaches have had a little puss on the side.  And some had a lot of puss on the side. (Barry Switzer comes to mind)
