Little known fact, but prior to settling on Guantanamo, the Pentagon wanted to house terror suspects at War Memorial Stadium.  It was deemed to be cruel and unusual punishment and in violation of the Geneva Convention.

11/19/2023:  Keeping my original semi-prophetic, apocalyptic signature below.  We continue to regret passing on Norvell, who is in the running for the Playoffs.  We continue regret passing on Kiffin, who is eyeing a New Years 6 game.  Heck, we regret passing on Drinkwitz (he may be a dork, but he will have his team in a New Years 6 game after they truck us on Black Friday).

Meanwhile, Sam is drinking Pittman, wondering if he has the leverage to re-hire Enos, Sexton is doing the triple Lindy into his Olympic-size pool full of cash, and thousands of hog fans are planning to dress up as empty seats for next year's Halloween game.

11/25/2018:  My original "Chad Morris" signature is below.  I'm modifying my view as follows:  We will continue to regret passing on Norvell and Kiffin.   After 3 years, when Morris is 10-26, we are going to be saying "What were we thinking?  Even Bert was better than this!"

Back in 2007, Alabama came close to hiring Rich Rod away from WVU. It was only after he and maybe 2-3 others turned the Tide down that they turned to Saban.

It took them awhile to get Saban to leave the Dolphins, he turned them down at least once and issued the infamous "I'm not going to Alabama" statement to the Miami press before he finally accepted.

Just think about how different things would be had Saban gotten Drew Brees to be his QB, stayed there and Rich Rod had gone to 'Bama. The Miami team Doctors wouldn't sign off on Brees' surgically repaired shoulder. If I recall correctly, one of the 'Fins Docs is the father of Danny Kanell, college football self-appointed "expert"..
KJ Jefferson, one of only 2 QBs in UA history to go 2-0 in Bowl Games..

That dude might be done with coaching.  He needs to go into politics.

But all the Petrino lovers out there were not only pissed because he was fired, they would have hired him back this past December. What he did was much more egregious than what Rich Rod did. Both had affairs, but Petrinos was an employee. I'm assuming Rich Rods was a grown woman, Petrinos mistress was roughly same age as his daughter. Rich Rod admitted his affair, Petrino lied. But BP is still great here and Rich Rod is trash? Got it.

Petrino's GF was a grown woman as well.  She had a Masters degree and a few years working experience.  BP is a great coach, but that isn't what this thread is about.

The comparison is apt though

If you want it to be.

No , it simply is.

Ignoring a fact doesn't mean the fact no longer exists. It simply means you are ignoring a fact.

It boils down Rich Rod was a prick and he had an affair. That is different how?

Rich Rod didn't give the person he was having an affair with a job over many other, more qualified applicants....that's the issue.  Just an affair and BP doesn't get fired

YOU NEED to actually know WTH you are talking about before you post. It sexual assault/harassment , not his many affairs, that got him fired.

Where are all these lawsuits against the U of ARK?  Were they secretly paid by the Razorback Foundation?

Exactly, if he had just paid that girl $50K a year out of his own pocket to be his whore, he'd likely still be our coach.

Who were the more qualified applicants?  This was never shown to be true.  You do know Long went along with the hire don't you?

Long was wanting to get rid of Petrino and Petrino's lying to him gave him an excuse to do it.  Petrino played right into his hands.

I am guessing you interviewed all the other candidates for the job and you know for a fact that others were more qualified?  I am also guessing that you know that it was Long that actually made the hire.
My girl told me to whisper something sexy in her ear...so I leaned in and said....Dominic Fletcher.

She had 4 years experience, while 9 of the other 159 she beat out had 10 years experience.

They haven't proven he sexually harassed her. However, we gave Jessica Dorrell $14,000 to settle.

Doing the exact same jobs at the U of A?  How many of them had their names in the sidewalk?  This was not a high paying job, so why were people with 10 years of experience applying for it?
