    Thanks.

    Fair enough. Neither side ducked the issue. Everyone deserves a second chance and I hope he makes the most of it. At $825,000 per year, it's a reasonable risk for a Sun Belt school. Have no idea what they average in attendance. Be interesting to see how it all works out for them.

    Now that he’s back in the state, the coach said he and wife Becky “consider this coming home.”

    I think I read where they averaged around 17,000 per game (stadium seats 22K).

    I know one thing — Mark Stoops and Charlie Strong should be worried.

    Majority of fans hate the hire. Some of my friends say they hate it because his moral compass is pointing in the wrong direction. ::)

    They just renovated the stadium a few years ago. It used to seat somewhere in the neighborhood of 15-17 thousand.

    That ain't his moral compass.

    He's there for three years, tops.

    He'll pull a RichRod and find some technicality, and then try to weasel his way out of the buyout.

    For all of the talk of Petrino being a job hopper, he's two college head coaching gigs in eight seasons. When Arkansas terminated him with cause, he didn't try to get a single dime in a buyout.

    Two jobs and probably tried to weasel his way into 10 others.

    Does no one remember his meeting on a runway with Auburn folk (including IIRC, Bobby Lowder)?

    Sounds about the same/better than most college football coaches.
