    Im suprised he accepted the job. He really came across like a pure college coach. I was surprised when he turned down the LSU job, saying he wasnt interested.

    It's widely known that he flunked the interview with Skip and then released his own public turn-down in order to save face.

    Interesting to see how he will gameplan with Vick at QB. That's the type of job Petrino should take if he is taking the leap to the NFL. Not some blackhole job like Arizona or Oakland.

    How long before the Saban to Louisville threads start ;-)

    He has a little Saban in him, he has always been looking out the window...

    Now that would be too much!
    Lets see, Fran left and they went through like 3 guys including Mike Rice
    I believe.

    That would be something if Bama was to go through another cycle like that.
    Bear would turn over in his grave and some of the Bama faithful would probably join him!:lol: :grin:

    Petrino and Saban have always been similar, always interviewing with everyone.

    Saban isnt going anywhere, in about 2 years then the Bama fans will start their turn on the Saban to________ roller coaster.

    Micheal Vick is a happy man. Petrino has done well developing QBs.
