Jay G. Tate
AuburnSports.com Senior Writer

AUBURN -- Athletic director Jay Jacobs and his own Coalition of the Willing, selected members of the search committee, are now in their third day of work to find coach Gene Chizik's successor.

A new leader could be revealed as soon as Friday, so the time for seriously analyzing the most likely candidates is at hand. We start today with a man who needs no introduction, though the surprising strength of his statistical profile often is obfuscated by his personal travails.

Let's take a deeper look at the former Arkansas coach.

He's been a head coach for eight seasons - four at Louisville, four at Arkansas - and has paved a trail of success from start to finish. His career winning percentage (74.3%) places him ahead of Nick Saban (74%), Les Miles (73.3%) and Steve Spurrier (72.8%), which is some impressive company.

And it's not like Petrino wasn't exactly piggybacking off someone else's success. He took Louisville to its first Bowl Championship Series game in 2006 and guided the Razorbacks during their maiden BCS voyage in 2010.

No other coach has taken two programs to their first BCS bowl.

The talk surrounding Petrino always starts with his offense.

By fusing spread elements, strong quarterback play and pace, Petrino created an offense that simply overwhelms most opponents. During Petrino's four seasons at Louisville, the team ranked no lower than 15th among all NCAA programs in scoring and yards.

The 2004 team led the nation in both categories.

Arkansas wasn't far off those numbers during Petrino's time in Fayetteville. After a sub-par season in 2008, his first with the Razorbacks, Arkansas never again finished below third among Southeastern Conference teams in passing yards, total yards or scoring.

Meanwhile, the program flourished. The Razorbacks set or tied 98 school records during Petrino's final three seasons in Fayetteville, cracked the 10-win plateau in consecutive seasons, finished above .500 in SEC during consecutive seasons for the first time in school history and scored at least 30 points in more than half of their games.

For all that offensive success, though, Petrino's defenses have been surprisingly good. His final defense at Louisville ranked 17th among all NCAA teams in points allowed. Each Arkansas defense improved over its immediate predecessor, cutting points allowed from 31.7 in 2008 to 22.2 last season.

Also telling is what happens to the teams once Petrino leaves. His time at Auburn as offensive coordinator, which yielded a 9-4 season, led to the infamous experiment involving Steve Ensminger and Hugh Nall. Points and yards dropped in 2003 - and the Tigers finished 8-5.

That season prompted an attempt on Auburn's behalf to hire Petrino away from his new job at Louisville.

You know how that ended.

Louisville won 41 games during Petrino's four years there. The program won 22 games during the next four years. Arkansas won 21 games during Petrino's final two seasons in Fayetteville - and finished 4-8 this fall.

Every Conversation I've Had About Petrino This Week

Since the middle of the season, when it first looked like Chizik wouldn't make it to next season, the Petrino bandwagon began to grow and grow each week. I tried to ignore it because I wasn't going to talk about coaches unless Chizik was gone.

Now that he is, I've thrown my two cents out on Twitter about my dislike for the idea of hiring him. With the growing minority becoming louder and louder, I've had multiple conversations with "Petrino-lovers", or PLs for short. They have all gone almost the exact same way. I'm beginning to think PLs all have some sort of checklist of points because they all use the exact same ones, almost in the same order, and exact same verbiage.

Many of these conversations have happened between friends and me, and to those guys, I respectfully disagree (except Blake Ells, I really hate that guy). To the ones I don't know that think I should quit the site or die in a fire because I don't want your guy as my school's coach, have a nice day.

So because I'm tired of typing my same points to their same points over and over, I'm just going to put it all here so that we don't continue to waste our time.

Them: "Petrino is the obvious choice. It's not even close."

Me: "He is a bad choice. We can do better."

Them: "Oh get off your high horse. Quit being holier than thou. You got the Auburn Creed tattooed on your chest? Everybody makes mistakes."

Me: "First off, this has nothing to do with the Creed. I am not saying anything about 'Auburn man' or that whole spiel. And yes, everybody does make mistakes, but most learn from their mistakes after the 1st, 2nd, or even 3rd time. He has too much of a history. Too much baggage."

Them: "You know that guy who's name is on the field? Pat Dye? Yeah he wasn't a saint."

Me: "No he wasn't, but two wrongs don't make a right, and that is no the reason to hire a football coach. I understand you are only mentioning Coach Dye to prove that a man most of us loved as a football coach also made mistakes, but that does make the decision to hire or not hire Petrino any different. How about we get a guy who will win that doesn't have a history."

Them: "What about forgiveness? Jesus says we should forgive." (Yes, I've actually had people bring up Jesus in this.)

Me: "First off, he didn't do anything to me, so I don't have to forgive him for anything. Second, I'm pretty sure Jesus didn't say anything about forgiving someone by handing over the keys to your football program. Auburn is worried about getting a man that will successfully run their program, not go out of their way to give a guy a third, fourth, or fifth chance because it's the nice thing to do. That is not their job or their duty."

Them: "So you're going to overlook the best and obvious choice because the guy had a girlfriend?"

Me: "Not specifically. That was just the icing on the cake. He's left every job in a shady or negative way. He undermined Tommy Tuberville with Jetgate. He toyed with Louisville for years, claiming to be committed, but interviewing for multiple jobs every year. After claiming to be committed to the Louisville fans and AD his last year there, he left for the Falcons. With three games left in the NFL season, he left the team high and dry. Did he tell the players? No. He simply left them a paragraph on a piece of paper. Then at Arkansas, he had an affair, where he allocated school funds to pay his mistress. When that affair was exposed with the motorcycle wreck, he tried to cover it up and lied to his AD. That is a career of lying and negativity. Study history or you will relive it. "

Them: "Yeah, but I think he's probably changed. He's probably pretty desperate."

Me: "Auburn should hire someone because you hope he all of a sudden has changed the way he's been for a decade?"

Them: "Oh whatever, I just want a winner. Petrino is a winner and he will win immediately."

Me: "Really? Petrino's SEC record is 17-15 and he is 0-4 against Alabama. He's never won a division title. Never even played for the SEC Championship. He did win the Big East and C-USA at Louisville. Is that what you want?"

Them: "Yeah, but he was at Arkansas with 3-star recruits. Think about what he'll do with our talent pool."

Me: "Well, the 3-star recruits are his problem. He has never been a strong recruiter. He usually gets a good quarterback, a halfway decent running back, and a few good receivers. He doesn't care about or recruit a strong defense. Second, Arkansas is not Vanderbilt. Houston Nutt took Arkansas to the SEC Championship Game. Houston Nutt won ten games once and nine games three times. They have been in the top half of the SEC for over a decade. By the way, he's the only SEC coach to lose to Ohio State in a BCS game. (slight troll there)"

Me: "Oh, and he's also an a-hole, and even though I hate this word, a jerk."

Them: "We need an a-hole. We need somebody tough. Saban is an a-hole and look at what he's done."

Me: "Saban is a different type of a-hole. Saban is a coaching a-hole. Petrino is a belittling a-hole. He's just not the guy we need."

Them: "Oh so you just want a 'good, nice guy' don't you? Did you see what us having a 'good guy' got us?"

Me: "Well, yeah, that 'good guy' National Championship, but if you mean the last two years, I don't think being a good or Godly man is what brought that on. Being softer and less of a disciplinarian brought that on. But that doesn't mean any other nice or good guy would be that way as well. There is no connection. You can have a tough coach who's also a good guy. You don't have to have a belittling, lying a-hole to win football games."

Them: "Whatever. Winning solves everything. Once he wins us ten games next year, you'll shutup."

Me: "Again, winning is not a guarantee in any way, but did winning solve and hide and dumb down everything he was exposed to be doing behind the scenes at Arkansas? No. That's why was he fired. His record was not enough to save what he had done because *gasp* it's really not all about winning."

Them: "Oh, who do you want then?"

Me: "I'd take any number of guys." (I then name a few guys that would be perfectly fine choices.)

Them: "Well I hope you're ready for another decade of losing."

Me: "Right, because no other coach besides Petrino will win a football game. And tell me the last coach that did not win at Auburn. Hint: you'll have to go back a few decades."

Them: <silence>

Me: "Auburn will be better off without Petrino. He brings too much negativity. The media/nation will just have one more reason to poke fun at and bash Auburn for being the first school to hire back the chronic liar. Haven't we had enough of that?"

Them: "I don't care what anybody thinks. We've been through it before and we can do it again."

Me: "Or we could just hire a good coach without a decade's worth of baggage and win with him."

Them: "Petrino is the only option if we want to win, and I JUST WANNA WIN!!!!! You just gonna stop going to games if he's hired?"

Me: "Alright, we're done."

And that's how they've all gone. Maybe not in that order, but those are the talking points. Bottom line, PLs "just wanna win" at all costs. They are ignoring a decade's worth of history, lying, and scandal because they hope a guy has changed his ways. They are jaded because of the number of losses from last season. Auburn is constantly in the negative spotlight to the nation, and the last thing we need to do is to bring in a guy who has nothing but negativity attached to his name.

I want to win just as much as anybody. Probably more than anybody. But I don't want to do it with that man. Winning is not enough. Winning with a guy we can all be proud of is the Auburn I know and want. And you can call that high and mighty all you want, but it's just stupid to ignore history. I don't care what he did in his personal life. I care that he's lied everywhere. Nobody can trust him because of that.

Again, and listen this time, I'm not saying that the Auburn coaching job is not about winning. I'm saying that just winning is not enough. Auburn can do better. Auburn does not need Bobby Petrino.

Leave your hate-filled comments based off my thoughts on a coaching candidate in the comments section below.

Never in my life have I seen someone who thought there opinion was so important. If he really thinks the pro-Petrino crowd is just the vocal MINORITY then he is a bigger fucking idiot than previously thought.

Btw, he says, "So because I'm tired of typing my same points to their same points over and over, I'm just going to put it all here so that we don't continue to waste our time." Does that mean his is going to quit acting like a bitch on twitter now?

No.  I'd say the people that undermined Tommy Tuberville were the ones on the jet. 

Every single swinging dick on this message board, if they were approached by a company talking about a job better than the one that they are currently at, would at least listen.  And if that job were offered, every one would take it.  Every one of us.  It doesn't matter if it was for a company you used to work at, and you left to go to a competitor, but you found out your old boss might be fired, and they want you to take his job.  You're not undermining anyone.

I cannot say whether I would take it or not but I do know that I would read the creed first, and then decide. But seriously, I don't find fault with BP for talking with them, since they approached him. There is plenty of other stuff I don't like about him but this isn't a part of the equation.

I personally like B.P. not only because he can light up the score board because of his offensive mind.  But he can turn this thing around faster than any other. His record speaks for itself. Even in a basketball state poweful...he made Louisville a major threat to anybody they faced. Arkansas was on its way too. I dont care about his off the field drama. All I care about is Auburn kicking butt like nobodys business. I been around a long time and its hard to see Auburn endure this crap. Let the bleeding stop!! And bring in a coach not a puppet where J.J. and his good ol boys can call the shots. Lets be serious here.....B.P. knows he will be under a microscope due to his past BUT winning seems to be the antibiotic for anything. And I say again .... He brings Auburn hope. He is our best shot (IMO). Losing is one thing but to lose in the fashion we did this yr is unexceptable. Who was Coach Chez? lol I will tell you....he was a cheap hire that rode the Cam train. Our National Champ squad was Tubby's creation and we all can agree on that.




Just know that whoever comes? The Auburn family will see better days very soon! In fact, it will start this Saturday. Im not saying this to throw darts at any Saban ass kissing troll thats out lurking but ummmm Georgia will hang bama in Atl. Its in the bank! Murray will shred that Turd D far worse than A&M did. A freshman QB goes to T town and drops a fast 20 and you not think Murray wont double that? Go Dawgs!!!!

Bring in Bobby & War DAMN Eagle !

He's been honking the Malzhan bobo for a week now.

Here's my problem with this though.  He cites Petrino "stabbing Tubs in the back" as a reason to not hire Petrino.  But it's basically the same thing Malzhan would be doing.  The only exception is that he didn't speak to Auburn (that we know about) prior to Chizik being fired.

There is no proof that Malzahn can be a head coach in the SEC. Not only that, would Malzahn even take the job?

So I go back to my original statement. Give us someone better. Don't just throw a name out there, make that name a real candidate.

I can tell you why just based on putting two and two together.

He pushed for Gene Chizik. Why?  Because Chizik was young, energetic, inexperienced, and needing guidance.  Pat Dye could play mentor, which is why he got an office in the AD, and which is why he got to be around the program so much, and which is probably one of many reasons why Chizik wasn't able to be successful over the long term.

So he's pushing for Kirby Smart.  A young, energetic, inexperienced, and needed guidance coach that Pat Dye can mentor. 

Why the hell else would Pat Dye push for him?

I say it's stoopid, yeah that's right, stoopid--to even be considering Bobby P, (or any other high priced coach) at this juncture. Look, the world ends on Dec. 21 and then we go off the fiscal cliff on Jan. 1.

The timing just doesn't make sense. Let's at least wait until these two events unfold and then see what the market is like. I surmise that it will soften quite a bit.

Listen JJ, Gogue, whoever the fuck is really in charge of hiring a new coach.....

Just go ahead and give it to Petrino now.  We all know he's one of the top coaches in the game.  He's proven himself by winning big at 2 mediocre schools in BCS conferences.  He's universally regarded as one of the top offensive minds in the game.  What's the holdup?

Oh, so you're worried about how the Auburn fanbase will react to the hire?  Let me ask you this....  What kind of person is willing to say "I don't give a fuck" about Petrino's affair, screwing over his former employers, letting some volleyball player ride bitch on his hog, etc.?  Is that the group of people you want to piss off?  Fuck this up for them and you might get punched in the face.

Or would you rather upset the people who want to sit in a circle, singing kum ba yah, crocheting verses from the creed into pillow covers for their couch?  Is this the group you're afraid of?  I hope you don't receive a sternly worded letter if you make the hire.

These 2 groups from the Auburn family should set a date to meet in front of your office to brawl -- you decide who you would rather side with.

I'd give it a little more time than that. BP is probably not first on their list of candidates which explains why they haven't announced him yet. I hope we get Sumlin, but realize it's a long shot.

How divided is the Auburn family over Bobby Petrino? Judging by the results of an AL.com survey, extremely divided.

Fifty-three percent of the 11,000 people who responded to the survey said they don't want Petrino to be Auburn's next coach. Another 35 percent said yes and 12 percent were undecided.

Of course, presumably not all of the survey respondents are Auburn fans. But the survey shows how contentious Petrino's potential hire is among readers. Readers were only able to vote one time.

Readers were nearly divided on the question of whether they would support Petrino if he received the blessing of Pat Sullivan and/or Bo Jackson, who are part of Auburn's search committee. Fifty-one percent said even if that stamp of approval came, they would still not support Petrino.

Among readers critical of Petrino, the biggest reason why is that he has lied to his bosses through the years (36 percent). The runner-up was that he left the Louisville and Arkansas programs damaged (17 percent). Cheating on his wife came in fourth (12 percent).

More than half of the readers want the Auburn search committee with Jackson and Sullivan to decide on the next coach (54 percent). Athletics Director Jay Jacobs alone had as much support as ex-Auburn coach Pat Dye (4 percent) in making the decision.

And yet the quality of Petrino as a coach wasn't lost on readers. Their most popular choice to become Auburn's coach: Petrino (24 percent). He was followed by Gus Malzahn (15 percent), Gary Patterson (13 percent), Jimbo Fisher (12 percent), Kirby Smart (11 percent), Charlie Strong (11 percent) and Chris Petersen (9 percent).
2,860 people are fucking morons!

We are sooooo gonna fuck up this hire.

I've heard several people talk Sumlin.  Honestly, I don't know where that's coming from. He could be a candidate, I have no clue.  But why would a coach who just stepped up from Conference USA to the SEC, at a school with more than plenty of $$$, and oh by the way, just went 10-2 with the probable Heisman winner who, oh by the way, is just a freshman...say, "Yeah, I think I'd like to go to another SEC program that's 3-9 and in the shitter and who doesn't have an SEC QB on the entire fucking roster?  Did I mention I'm retarded?"

Morons?  Would that be the 12% who took the time to participate in a poll so they could say they were undecided?

Wonder what that same poll would have looked like 4 years ago with Gene Chizik being the coach in question?

Btw, there is a poll on AUfamily (ducks the rock threw in my direction) asking should BMFP be the next Auburn coach. Almost 70% say yes.

He grew up in Brewton and still has family there...

Word is, Auburn engaged to find out interest level fully expecting Sumlin to say "not interested". Apparently he didn't say "not interested". That is about all I can tell that has happened at this point...

I'm not sure about Coach Sumlin, would we be taking about him as a possibility if he didn't have Johnny Football© at QB? I know he signed him and everything, but Johnny made him look really good at times...like Cam made Coach Chizik look good. So, idk, I mean he would be better than Coach Chizik, but so would probably most of the D1, some D1-AA, D2, D3, JUCO, Prep & High School coaches.

Maybe we should hire Sumlin if he can sign players a year before he's hired!  Or maybe you can time travel on your skreetz?

William Lee Golden is from Brewton too. To hell with Kevin Sumlin or Petrino. If we get William Lee's beard and keep Van Gorder on D with that stache, who in the west could compete with that? Plus, William Lee knows W. Hell yes, go get him JJ!
