Why Bobby Petrino and Rich Rodriguez are not the same.

Bobby Petrino and Rich Rodriguez both left their teams this past week. Both coaches have been known to flirt with other programs each season, but that is where the similarities end for those two.

Bobby Petrino likes the color red. Rodriguez likes blue.

It's quite obvious now that Rodriguez has bolted for Michigan. Just last year he was offered an equally prestigious, albeit more downtrodden job, at the University of Alabama. There was one huge problem. Alabama is red. There is no getting around it. It's crimson if you want to be specific, but that is just a more pronounced red. He couldn't do it. He is a blue man, and he will die a blue man. All this time the Michigan job search was looking for the "Michigan Man," where in reality, all they really needed was the "Blue Man."











I think we can come upon one conclusion here. Petrino likes Dick Cheney. Rodriguez likes Bill Clinton.

Think about that.

Is it really a shock?

Bobby Petrino has poor communication skills, and is generally known as an asshole.

Rich Rodriguez is a charmer who is very sociable and I would not be surprised if he played the saxophone. Bobby Petrino is known as a disciplinarian, but he lacks the ability to actually convey what his plan is, at least that was the case in Atlanta.

Sounds like some Middle Eastern country I have heard of. Finally, lets not forget the clandestine meetings Petrino is famous for. Anyone here think Cheney hasn't been secretly meeting with Tricky Dick with the help of Madame Cleo?
















Remember when Dick Cheney shot a man? I would not be surprised if Bobby Petrino has done that before.




Hmmmm. That's a nice weapon....I wonder if my buddy Bobby needs a new gun?





Rodriguez is the antithesis of Petrino. I know, I know, you are thinking that they both just stabbed their employers in the back. Rodriguez just took a prestigious job that almost any coach would be insane not to take at a hefty raise.

That sounds like a blue thing to do to me. Jumping on the bandwagon of the next hot thing. Internet bubble anyone?

Petrino just took a job, that is, at best, the SEVENTH best job in the conference and for a pay cut!!! Worse yet, Petrino did it in the middle of the NFL season!

There you have another similarity that Petrino has with Cheney. Fiscally irresponsible. Of course, maybe Petrino is a pocket blue stater, after all he did pull out when the going got tough in Atlanta. Iraq anyone?

So in the end, there is another conclusion we must come to. Petrino tries to pretend he is red, he follows the evil ways of Dick Cheney, but somewhere, deep inside that soulless face of his is a blue man trying to get out --- much like Freddy Mercury. Ladies and Gentlemen, we are looking at the head coach of the Duke Blue Devils, circa 2012, when David Cutcliffe gets fired for losing his star quarterback to the NFL Draft and the Blue Devils fall to a four win squad a year after tying for the division lead in the ACC Coastal.

I want to break free! I want to break free! I want to break free from your lies!
You're so self satisfied, I don't need you! I've got to break free! God knows, God knows, I want to break free!




And just imagine that. Bobby Petrino is Freddy Mercury. They both just wanted to break free. I bet Petrino votes for Hillary.
