![]() supposedly, the head coaching job at louisville has been offered to bobby petrino.
and a texas deep pocketed booster said hiring Strong, formerly of l'ville, was a 'kick in the face'. ah, college football...gotta love it. |

![]() Latrino, is a quitter and an idiot! He'll probably screw up again at some point, pretty dumb decision to hire him back in my opinion.

when saban announced he was leaving lsu for miami, petrino contacted lsu-just a few days after signing that years' extension. he hurt recruiting at arkansas while still here, with players telling potential recruits that 'if you want negative feedback, and not positive...if you want yelled at, cussed at when you mess up, and nothing is said when you're doing good, arkansas is the place to come to. so, many went elsewhere. he's lied to everyone he's ever been involved with. AD at arkansas, his wife, arthur blank-he even left a typed note on the players lockers in atlanta, telling them he quit. real class act. his coaches at atlanta still have nothing nice to say about him. |

Bobby Petrino is a damned good college coach. His record as a college head coach is 83-30. His record at Louisville which was hardly a football power when he arrived was 41-9 with a BCS bowl win, 2 conference titles and had Louisville ranked in the top 6 at the end of the year 2 times in 4 years. His record at Arkansas was 34-17, got them to a BCS bowl and had them ranked 12th and 5th in the final season rankings his last 2 years there. He went 8-4 at Western KY last year. While he may not exactly be a fine moral standard we are talking about college athletics. Charlie Strong who got the Texas job was 37-15 in his 4 years at Louisville and never had them ranked higher than 13th and that was good enough for the Texas job. |

Petrino has never been accused of breaking rules other than a few of the 10 commandments. The system might be lunacy but Louisville hiring the best available coach isnt. It also doesnt hurt that he is undefeated against Kentucky. |

![]() How can they believe any of them? Plus it goes both ways. How many coaches get canned every year for no good reason other than their kicker missed a FG or a key player got injured and they lost to a rival? If you are recruited by a coach and he is fired you are still stuck at that school or forced to sit out a year to transfer. Outside of the top, top jobs how many coaches are really at the final destination and wont jump for more money or a better job?

ok...maybe he did think he was bettering himself! and anyone in coaching knows if the team doesn't perform, it's easier to fire the coach than to get rid of the team. |

and yes, most states highest paid 'govt employees' are typically coaches at universities. they receive state money after all. and yes, he has a good record-but there are other good coaches without all that baggage. and yeah, that story was something. didn't he say it lasted under 20 seconds or something like that?? maybe that was bobby's problem, he wasn't at a U with an AD who doesn't care about that stuff. |
