If Petrino does become OC, how in the world can anybody believe a single word he utters? Endless record of deceit, disloyalty, lack of integrity, and that is based on his football career, not the personal stuff.certainly are outside of IC
We also did it with Butch Davis.Thinking more about this supposed Petrino hire, and it continues to strike me how UNC, more than any other school out there, is obsessed with hiring the has-been retread whose prime we missed by a decade or more (but whose success in their prime is our whole reason for hiring them now). We did it with Mack Brown, Gene Chizik, and now Bill Belichick and Bobby Petrino (and Chip Kelly was supposedly the runner-up). It's like we have some bizarre tic that doesn't enable us to ever look *ahead* and try to hire the coach that may be good over the *next* 10 years- no, we have to hire the guy who was good a decade ago and has since fallen off.
Petrino was an offensive mastermind at Auburn, Louisville, and Arkansas in the 2000's and early 2010's. But getting fired from Arkansas in 2012, outside of one elite season with Lamar Jackson at Louisville in 2017, he's been...fine, but that's it. Nothing out of this world. Since that Lamar Jackson season, he's been fired from Louisville the very next year, then left Missouri State after a losing season, then spent 21 days at UNLV before going to Texas A&M, spent one season at A&M before being replaced, and then the last two years at Arkansas where he was also let go with the staff this season. To be fair, he did very significantly improve Arkansas's offense, but this season especially their offensive numbers are a bit inflated due to the massive amount of time they spent trailing in games and having to throw out of necessity. He's absolutely going to be lightyears better as an offensive schemer and playcaller than what we had last year, though certainly that's a painfully low bar to clear.
Obviously I'm not without my own bias. I'm certainly not a fan of this Belichick experiment, haven't been from day one, and want it to end as soon as possible. So I certainly recognize my own bias in seeing almost everything that our program is currently doing through a negative lens. I own that. But I am not being negative for the sake or enjoyment of being negative- I just truly disagree with pretty much everything about the current direction of the football program that I love, and for better or worse, I have this forum to voice those frustrations.
Probably the only coach with any success that would take the job.No idea why we would pursue Petrino. Add to that his complete lack of moral character and I am not sure what kind of culture we are trying to build at UNC.
Yeah, it was a disaster when USC hired Pete Carroll.We also did it with Butch Davis.
Rule #1 - NEVER EVER EVER hire a D1 Football Coach who doesn’t already have a coaching staff.
Texas Tech walked so we could run.Thinking more about this supposed Petrino hire, and it continues to strike me how UNC, more than any other school out there, is obsessed with hiring the has-been retread whose prime we missed by a decade or more (but whose success in their prime is our whole reason for hiring them now).
