What if Florida hired Chris Petersen in 2010? Today’s SEC would look mighty bizarre

[oxrageous]

Pipe dreams. Petersen is a West Coast guy, don't think he would have ever taken this job or any other job on this coast.

This is all speculation that is being spouted as fact. He would have taken the UF job in two seconds. That's my own speculation.

Foley had no interest in Petersen, not the other way around. Again, that's my own speculation.

I'm not certain Foley ever got around to considering Petersen. He was too enamored with Muschamp to think straight.

He admitted he didn't interview a single other candidate.

Say we actually want one and are willing to pay whatever, is it not true that they can match anything we could afford? And most are happy at their schools or have other criteria like staying on the west coast or need special consideration like great medical. Look at say LSU they thought they could get better and failed. Now perhaps we should have gotten the Memphis coach, that we could have done.

Most are mercenaries and are looking for a payday.

LSU did the right thing. They were never going to have an offense with that moron as coach. It may take them a while to get the right next guy but you cant get to the right guy without firing the wrong guy you currently have.

I thought there was standard language in every AD's contract that they need at least three bids.

I might agree about LSU doing the right thing but I bet they thought like you that money is everything. I guess for people with not too much money it is important, but for many who actually have money some more is not that important. At least that is my personal experience, perhaps you know a different type of person.

For example I would work for UF for a lot less than say other schools and there is not enough money for me to work for UT in Kville. When you can get the right guy you can always fire the wrong one.

We didn't want him anyways

So you think LSU upgraded their coaching with the Big O? It may take them awhile to get the right coach? Like 10 years? 15 years? At what point was it not the right thing? While we didn't fire Meyer, we are still waiting for the right guy arent we?

I dont know. Ogre is a great recruiter also. The defense will probably still be stout and there is only one way to go on offense.

If it continues to suck then its no worse than under Dumbazz Less Miles.

 

[rogdochar]

Considering situations like Miles & McElwain, why can't some kind of drastic offense intervention
be done (first step of course = the position of psychiatric counselor be taken by a new OC)?

What gets me is. How does someone interview Jim mcelwain and say "hell yeah! I want some of that!"?

What if my aunt had a big, fat, dick?

Interesting but ultimately useless thought exercise. Had up hired Petersen I doubt things in the SEC would have been that much different. The Brown and Franklin senaeios were very unlikely in my view.

Um, your avatar might try to hook up with her?
