The odds on fan favorite right now is Bobby Petrino to be the next head football coach at Auburn University. I will attempt to rationalize why that is not a good thing. Using only published facts, and only look at his coaching career, lets look at how a Bobby Petrino hire would look at Auburn.
Petrino has an overall coaching record of 75 wins vs 26 losses as a college coach. Breaking down his record shows that his SEC coaching record is 34-17 and just 17-15 in conference play. In Bowl games he is 4-3. Not as impressive as the overall, but not a losing record. His only BCS Bowl game as an SEC coach was a loss, bringing his BCS Bowl record to 1-1.
Petrino has coached his teams to two conference championships. The 2004 Conference USA and 2006 Big East. He never had Arkansas in the SEC Championship game. Petrino never beat Alabama while at Arkansas.
Now that we have all the facts, let's put to rest the Bobby Petrino talk. He is not what Auburn is looking for.
WAR EAGLE!

Petrino doesn't have character that is needed to be an Auburn man. I'm against winning at all cost, we're better than that other school.
I get your sarcasm, and trump you with common sense. LOOK closely at his SEC record 17-15. Is that really a winner?
I want a proven winner. How many times do I have to say that? Evidently, I can't say it enough.
Let us agree then, that it is always great to be an Auburn Tiger. Even when we don't always agree on everything.
Auburn interviewed Patterson four years ago when it hired Chizik. Patterson has a 116-34 record at TCU in 13 seasons.
The above statement is from al.com
Gary Patterson is a proven winner. The question about him is the off the field problems he has had at TCU. Has he learned from his oversight?
Totally agree -- Petrino isn't as good as people think and he committed the cardinal sin of SEC football: he lost to Ohio State.
Please NO PetriNO!!!2
