Because Petrino would have made little difference with the team U of L put on the field and the number of wins we had this year, that's why.

Because you could just as easily say with a couple plays different here or there in our close losses, UCONN, UK, Syracuse, Kragthorpe could just as easily be 9-3 as well.

If U of L was 9-3 instead of 6-6 or 5-7 no one would be calling for Kragthorpes head.

We went 12-1 last year and had an outstanding year with last years team, Petrino, Kragthorpe, Nic Saban, Howard Schnellenberger, plug any name in as coach, I dont see this years team duplicating what last years team did. Reggie Bradshaw would have been a senior but Petrino never played him and he transferred out.

9 wins was possible but the way we played against Syracuse, Utah, USF we werent as good as last year same coaching or different coaching.

We had no running game because we had no running backs.
Kragthorpe suspended all the potheads (like he should have), Spillman, Strippling, Allen was hurt, Spencer was hurt, Bolen wasnt the answer.

We had Brohm and Douglass (when he wasnt hurt), we were one diminsional, we had a porous defense, we werent as good as we thought we were, Petrino or not.
