So if Butch Jones is fired, does Bobby Petrino move down one state?
Still not sure how much clout petrino has outside of of louisville. He's:
-left Jacksonville without telling his boss
-flirted with leaving louisville for auburn without telling his boss (and left a wake of destruction behind him at auburn while doing so)
-left louisville after signing big extension (and claiming he wouldn't)
-left the Falcons without telling anybody, in the middle of the season
-lied to and fucked over his friend and boss at arkansas, while carrying on an extramarital affair, with somebody he probably illegally hired at a state institution.
It's tough to believe many AD's out there would risk their name and career on him. Then again, tennessee is desperate to stay relative, so the need to win could supersede that.
lsu supposedly wanted art briles last year, but even a school with, essentially, zero standards, wouldn't touch him. Granted, briles is even more incendiary than petrino, but a lot of tennessee people and money wouldn't go for petrino. But as I said, they're getting into near desperation mode there.
