I don't think I'm alone in that assessment. If other ADs thought he could be as successful now as he was at Arkansas, he'd be the head coach at Auburn, Tennessee or Kentucky

I agree his recruiting has never been great, but his coaching has been very good. He's got guys that were at Louisville and at Arkansas that are playing in the league.
To me, winning is what matters. I wanted to hire Bob Huggins, I wanted to hire John Calipari, and I'll take Petrino as well. If they leave in 4 years but the program is in better shape then it was before, then so be it. Hire a new guy like Arkansas did (in between an 18 month disaster)
