His record at Arkansas was 34-17, got them to a BCS bowl and had them ranked 12th and 5th in the final season rankings his last 2 years there. He went 8-4 at Western KY last year.

While he may not exactly be a fine moral standard we are talking about college athletics.

Charlie Strong who got the Texas job was 37-15 in his 4 years at Louisville and never had them ranked higher than 13th and that was good enough for the Texas job.
No doubt about it, if you want to win football games Petrino is the guy to hire.
