Louisville's defense hasn't been the same since Grantham left. They should make a run at him

NV with 12 posts in this thread. He must be related to Petrino.
After reading pages 5-7, you’ve clearly surpassed me in the post count. What does that make you?

And, btw, I’ve got the post with the most likes.

Petrino has always been a poor man's Leach. He has worse character and not as good of an offensive mind as Leach. And both are poor recruiters.

If I were Louisville I’d go after Brent Venables or Jeff Brohm.

Petrino was 11-2 his final season at Arkansas. How does one find fault with that?

It was his 4th year. The teams he beat were combined 62-75. He was non competitive in his two losses against LSU and Alabama. He was caught in one of the most amateur-hour, embarrassing stunts ever recorded in human history, revealing a host of character concerns, then showed up to the next game’s media day with a burned face, neck brace and Steven A Bagen shirt.

Other than that, I find nothing.

We should lock him up yesterday for something. He can be a pillar in this staff and is an exceptional recruiter..
We had that damaged and fired USF head coach on Urban's staff. He was a great recruiter and a solid coach.

Nothing wrong with buying a damaged dude who may stay around a while. Especially when he recruits as well as DJ.

When you say he was born a woman, you almost infer a switch occurred along the way.
Technically the word is imply.

Ox is implying something and you are inferring from what he said.

It's one of those strange things that bugs me despite the fact that I obviously don't spend any time wordsmithing on here. I have no explanation.

Thank you, Donk, although it's not technical. It's the actual definitions of two different words. The lack of understanding of the difference between these two words is one of my pet peeves with speakers of English with whom I've crossed paths over the last many years.

And what’s the difference between a cat and a comma?

Really? Is he known for being a great recruiter? I’ve never heard that. His classes at Louisville we’re average. If he’d been hired instead of JM, I have little doubt he’d have won 9 games a few seasons, recruited decent at best, and be facing termination by year 4. We’re likely in a nearly identical position, but without Mullen, who I think can do well. Once we let Foley hire and retain WM, we were headed for disaster.

Don’t know if true, but I heard on local sports radio out of Jax that Petrino was 2nd choice if Urban fell through.
