That’s what was said the last time, and many claimed that is exactly what Bret was. Give me an up and comer. Look at our history. Frank, Lou, Ken, HDN. All were up and comers. Look at the established “home run” hires - Ford, Petrino, Bret. Petrino was the only “established” guy to win here, but as been said before, he didn’t do anything else.
He was at William and Mary for 3 years, NC St for 4 years, and the Jets for 1 (actually didn’t complete it). His combined record was 49-42-3. Maybe not a up and comer, but he wasn’t established yet
