I'll grant you the Big East is no match for the SEC, but that doesn't detract from his record. What Petrino did at Louisville was amazing.

I never said he wasn't a good coach. I think he will make the Hogs a better team, but can he handle the pressure. He has not had to deal with any yet. And he has rightfully gotten a pass in Atlanta for the Vick deal. He will not have ANY easy conference games in the SEC. Arkansas fans expect alot out of their program, winning a SEC west crown means beating Alabama, Auburn, and LSU. Rutgers, UConn and West Virginia would be a cake walk.

The same arguments were applied to Urban Meyer a couple of years ago. Only time will tell if Petrino can be as successful.
