What happened to 'offensive mastermind' Petrino ?

[No.1Cardfan]

What happened to his Pro style reciever development with its precise routes?

Is part of the problem communication as Lamar is sometimes difficult to understand in press conferences..how much more in the huddle?

Where was the momentum changing trickery?

Where is the fire that drove his first teams here?

How can we look so bad with Lamar? Is the rest of the team prepared that badly?

Could we have looked worse with a sub QB in for the whole game? What does that say about the development of the rest while BP has been back?

Can no one tell him obvious things that even the ladies or casual fan in the seats can see as the game is progressing and make the adjustment?

I'm told that he is not working well with his coaching staff and that his list of possible options grows thinner as his reputation gets around. True anyone that knows?

Most pitiful letdown ever from a "Top" head coach. ....Since last season....

Parallel situation with Petrino and Pitino. Both at one point 10+ years ago were on the cutting edge of scheme - Pitino with the 3 pt shot and Petrino with the pro style multiple alignments where the defense never knew where the ball was going. When your scheme is that good, you can win with lesser talent - like the mostly 3 stars that Petrino won with during his first time here and players like the (incredibly average) "unforgettables" that Pitino won with.

The game has caught up to Petrino - he's not the innovator any longer and he simply is unable to out scheme good teams.

Jeff Brohm is who Petrino was.
