Petrino speaking with LSU

[Apis Bull]

Just heard on the news tonight that Louisville's Pertrino has had talks with LSU to become their coach.

$500K to $1M to $2M

who can get that kind of raise in two weeks?

only a college coach!

[Mhscard95]

He withdrew his name from consideration the day after the Liberty Bowl win.

good for UL and the BE

LSU probably let him know he was not going to be hired, as their coach.   Let's see, if he gets lined up for the next BIG job next year.

I think that he is sort of spoiled goods for awhile with all the controversy, by the time he wins enough games in the Big East that his "ethics" aren't a factor anymore, he might be making enough to really want to stay at Louisville.

Will Louisville fans still open their arms to him after what just happened?

----A bag of $$$ made him look. And he took a long enough look to tarnish are great season for Louisville.

[Mhscard95]

Not exactly but winning cures alot of ills.  All the "big" boys are calling us Cards fans whiners because they say that is stuff they put up with every year.  Personally I think with all the Drama John L. Smith and Bobby Petrino have brought us over staying or going, it is worse than normal but whatever.  We were spoiled by Denny Crum staying in Louisville for 30 years, ok the last  few years weren't so hot but point is we are used to good coaches like Howard Schnellenburger, Frank Camp, and Denny Crum staying for a decade or so before moving on.

Personally this is my perspective, Petrino is a good coach and good for the university, that said right now the average Louisville fan trust him about a far as they can throw him not to run off to the first SEC power that ask.  Luckly for us most the SEC is turned off by the lack of Loyalty he has shown to us, so he is probably in the best position for himself that he can get and that benifits both Louisville and the BigEast in the long term (I hope).
