Back when Jurich hired Petrino, my comment was that, if we had been staying in the Big East / AAC, Jurich might not have felt it necessary to take the "risk" and PR-hit associated with that hire. But with the move to the ACC, Cardinal football has a few years to determine whether it will be in the FL State/Clemson/Ga Tech group or in the mid-pack Duke/NC/Virginia group. So you take the Petrino "risk" as the best hope to win now and build momentum.<br /><br />I think the same holds true for other sports. Obviously no problem with women's and men's basketball and with men's baseball - all three are top-level programs with national clout and lots of recruiting momentum - but for the other sports, these next few years will go a long way toward determining where they end up longer-term. I think we have the right coaches and staff in place but recruiting will be key. ACC membership should aid in that.Mike Dnoreply@blogger.com
