While I agree with you that Petrino is only using WKU as a stepping stone don't you think WKU will be a much more attractive spot for their next coaching search if Petrino has them winning 10, 11 or 12 games each year? Same thing at Tennessee. Do you think Strong or any number of other coaches would have turned Hart down if UT was coming off a 10-2 season?

CO, you're starting to sound like those ESPN people. No great jobs are vacant when they are winning 10&11 games a year. Remember when Kelly took over at ND??..ESPN was saying he's making a huge mistake, the program is in shambles, they can't recruit locally blah blah blah. Now, ND's back in the conversation. Charlie Strong was not the right coach to turn UT around, he is looking for a ready made team to take over without a lot of elbow grease. A job like UT's needs a coach willing to roll his sleeves up recruit his arse off. In other words we needed a workaholic and Hart didn't go after any coach's that were really wanting to bust their arse (until he contacted Jones).
