Interesting viewpoint. Seems to me like BP just sent Flowers, Philon and Spaight to the league last year. All his players and all defense which he supposedly cannot recruit. He also is responsible for the majority of GOOD players on this team which was pointed out earlier by another poster. JWilliams and our QB Allen, both Petrino's guys. If you care to pull up the rankings Petrino had higher ranked classes during his time here. I think Bert's last two classes have ranked around 11-12th in a 14 team league so I get a bit sick of hearing how great Bert is recruiting.
I'm sorry you think little items like FACTS and RECORDS are cherry picking but the bottom line is winning games or at least it should be. Petrino did that better here than any coach we've had in 50 years and the records show it. I'm sure there is some sort of excuse out there for the fact that Bert has now lost as many SEC games in 2.25 years than Bobby did in 4 full years. Let me have them please.
NEWSFLASH: Coaching matters.
Flowers and Philon played at Arkansas, NOT Louisville. Who coached them the last 3 years? It was coach BRET Bielema. Spaight was only here 2 years.. BP had absolutely nothing to do with him...
BP has no responsibility for developing anybody currently on our roster.. Like you said, "Coaching matters"...
A lot of Petrino's recruits weren't of the best integrity. But, I know, from past conversations.. integrity carry's absolutely no weight with you.. It does with me.
Are you dyslexic?
You're cherry picking your stats.
