    I am sorry these fellow board members down voted you on your statement of wanting Petrino. I personally don't think it is a good fit at this time in the program, but I don't agree with many but I never down vote them it is kind of rude. But you have a right to your opinion just as everyone has a right to their own. But when the University makes a decision on who the coach shall be everyone should just deal with it. Unless you are the AD or a Booster or the Chancellor you have absolutely no say on who they get to be the next coach. My personal choice would be Gruden or Fulmer some may hate the second choice but that's fine.I just shake my head when down votes are given when something is stated whether true or not is down voted, kind of like children not getting what they want or something they don't like lol are we not all adults here? Not here to make enemies just here making an observation. For backers who don't like Petrino for lack of morals and ethics in life touche, how many of us have done unmoral and unethical things in our lives, many I assume. We are not here to judge individuals in life we are here to support our future coach ever who he will be. I will be renewing my season tickets no matter who coaches this team and have my son by my side passing on the tradition of pulling for Tennessee whether they are 12-0 or 2-10

    I agree with the statement about downvotes. I save those for just ridiculous and egregious statments. That is simply his opinion, and I agree that he shouldn't have been downvoted, but some people dv posts just because they don't agree with the statement.

    But, when speaking of the head coach of the University of Tennessee, I believe a man's past decisions should definitely be taken into acoount. Especially when those decisions affected an entire NFL franchise and a college program for the worse. I have made my fair share of mistakes and guess what, I paid for them. Just like Petrino will. Because of his decisions he should not even be considered for the head coaching job. That's life. I forgive him as a man, because I was forgiven. But, there are consequences for every decision. I am not willing to sacrifice the integrity and standard of this great program for one man. Every good tree bears good fruit and every bad tree bears bad fruit. I can only make a decision on a man by his fruit. And Petrino's fruit seems to be rotten. Not judging, just making an observation.

  • I never said I wanted Petrino. I said I would be ok with it. I think the down votes for stating an opinion is ridiculous. I don't post very often but I like to read the threads, its ok to not agree with me but it is embarrassing to this site to down vote because you don't like the opinion. I think down votes should be used for those that are trolling, posting lies, or using it as a political sounding board. GBO
