It wasn’t just Liucci, who was hating on the Petrino possibility, it was ubiquitous throughout the aggysphere. Good Bull Hunting said in an article in November:
”I’d low key hate this hire since it would give the Ags two coordinators with scandalous pasts, but I feel like he may actually be on A&M’s radar. As mentioned with other candidates, he has the experience to give Jimbo some level of comfort in giving him authority (HC at Arkansas and Louisville, OC at Auburn and in the NFL), and his “power spread” offense a history of good production. But this just feels stale, and stale is the last thing this A&M program needs.”
This was shortly before Petrino initially turned them down and went to UNLV. Mullen, Longo, and Garrett Riley we’re the preferred candidates. Lulz.
