Which is interesting because Petrino was Entz’s hire, and it was very recent (as you all know)…

Doesn't mean it wasn't a bad hire. Mitch Breske was a terrible hire at defensive coordinator under Bohl. He was 1 and done.

No argument here… I was responding to a post about Polasek taking advice from Entz on coaches. All indications were that Petrino was one of Entz’s guys from earlier in his career. Seems unlikely to me that Entz gave Polasek advice to can one of “his guys,” but who knows…?

He just might if he was planning to do so himself had he stayed.

All speculation aside, I don’t think Tim needed much inside advice to make that call.

Something tells me Petrino wouldn't have been back if Entz was sticking around either. Not the first time a coach has made a bad hire (see Breske, Mike - hired by Craig Bohl as DC in 2009).

Not saying Petrino (or Breske for that matter) is a bad coach - sometime guys just don't mix well when they have to adapt to pre-existing schemes and personnel.

Fair point.

If I remember correctly NDSU was having a horrible time against the 3-4. Bohl was so impressed with how many issues the 3-4 gave his team that he decided to hire Breske to implement it even though we recruited for a Tampa 2. Well it didn't work BUT it did help NDSU get over their offensive issues against the 3-4.

Not to mention our D sucked a year ago too, under Braun.

There are no absolutes in hiring coaches. Some work out some dont. Every head coach hires a dud or two in their career. Some supposed great hires for some reason dont work out when the staff goes to another school.
