in response to tdvol1989:

I have an issue with how reckless he was and then lied to the AD. Yes, I know that covering up is a first instinct, but Pearl lied to the AD too.

But also, I wasn't impressed with his recruiting. The really good players he found were more like sleepers. He is too inbred with his staff. And, I know he is an offensive mind, but so is Spurrier. But, Spurrier always hired good defensive minds.

Having said the reasons why I would not really prefer him, I will admit this. He is a better option than Al Golden or Charlie Strong. And, I believe he is better than Jimbo. In my opinion, risking he would do something stupid is better than risking hiring someone that might field a bad team.

Your comment on "defensive minds" is spot on. The "Petrino Path to Prosperity" should definitely include UT inspired guidance on the new DC.

One thing I like about the Petrino option is our (possible) ability to have more say in the staff structure.
