    interesting

    <r>on paper, is there a tougher division than the SEC West?<br/>
    <br/>
    -Alabama (Saban)<br/>
    -Auburn (Tubesteak)<br/>
    -LSU (Miles) for now<br/>
    -Arkansas (Petrino)<br/>
    -Miss State (Croom)<br/>
    -Ole Miss (Nutt)<br/>
    <br/>
    Perhaps the least thought of nationally are Nutt, who has done well for himself onfield in the SEC and Croom who is still turning around a monster loser in Miss State..but he is still turning it around.<br/>
    <br/>
    Maybe Croom should apply to switch spots with Vandy <E>:)</E></r>

    Reminiscent of Lou Holtz who spent a year in the pros (Jets) then went back to college.

    Bill, I did. I sent you an e-mail 1st thing this a.m. You should have it. The return message said so. If you didn't, let me know, I'll send again.

    Corey, I couldn't understand your last message. You sound like you might have a hair caught in your throat (God I hopes it's a female hair). Take a drink of water, you'll be alright. :lol: :twisted:

    Scott!! Who's your coach again? :wink:

    I'm not sure how thrilled I would be if Petrino become our coach. No doubt he can coach but geez he's been almost moving on for several years.

    I wouldn't feel comfortable that he would be around long.

    <t>I'm drinking that Husker Kool-Aid that's telling me Bo won't suck. I'm on board. I'm with you...but it goes down rougher than an epileptic with braces. (or so i've heard)<br/>

    I believe he was at Louisville for 4 years and it was a foregone conclusion that he would be 'moving up' the entire time he was there. I too would be concerned about him leaving. Perhaps he learned some lessons in the NFL?</t>

    Yes, Louisville kept throwing more money and facility improvements at him and he left for Atlanta where he didn't last a year.

    Also some of the things I read in an article about his relationship with his players didn't sound that good.

    But hey, good luck. He left an NFL job worth about 5 mill a year for a job in the SEC West, that's two coaches there that left the NFL.

    Yeah, Auburn sent the airplane after him, but that was before Tubberville became a genious.

    Petrino is taking a lot of heat from the national media over this. I think he made the right decision for himself but he could have addressed the players in person and not by sending them a note. The situation in Atlanta is nothing what he thought it would be when he took the job and the situation just got a lot worse for the players and the brass of that organization.

    I was thinking Petrino at Arkansas might make the Aggie/Razorback series to be played in Jerry Jones new Stadium quite a challenge.

    Then I remembered the games won't start until 2009, so Petrino will have moved on before we play them...
