Wow....that is a shocker. Isn't Petrino Samson's nephew or 2nd cousin or something? I thought Pflugrad was a shoe in closely followed by Samson. Good luck to Jared at Rocky.

The story I linked had this about Pflugrad:
Petrino, 39, was selected among five finalists. The others were Matt Hollowell, Mark Samson, Zach Tinker and Robin Pflugrad. Pflugrad withdrew his name from consideration Thursday morning to pursue other coaching opportunities.
Withdrawing from consideration? Might Rocky have given him a head's up that he wasn't being hired and gave him an out to save face?

Yes.

Petrino was an excellent choice. Good guy.
