In the world of home remodeling, this is a total gut job....tear it down to the foundation and build it back up. This requires more than a coat of paint and some new carpet and that's all Petrino woul

Good hire for them; he's a coach, not a preacher Hard to blame him for drilling some co-ed; we can say what we want, but she was kinda hot

I personally think it's a great hire myself. He's back in a Power Five conference and he paid his penance for his Arkansas mess. UCF hired O'Liar and are now reaping the benefits of giving an individual a second chance. I would have hired Petrino in a heartbeat if given the opportunity. When it comes down to it, it's about winning games. We can preach a holier than thou attitude on the board, but witnessing another 2-10 season would be downright demoralizing. We are falling quicker to the land of the abyss where only non-power five teams reside. May USF RIP.

 

But wouldn't you agree that if we had hired him instead of Taggart that we would be in the same position as WKU and looking for a new coach again this year?  Can't believe he would stay at USF if L'ville had come calling.

$10 million buy out if Petrino decides to bolt. Not sure what UofL commitment is.

He called Louisville his "destination job."

IMO, regardless of what Petrino may or maynot have done here, he would have bolted the first chance he got to a school in one of the Gang of 5 conferences. Should Coach T rebuild this program, he will do the same.

Big difference in the UCF situation is that UCF would never have gotten a coach with GOL's credentials without his screwing up. L'ville is in a lot better position and shouldn't have gone after a sleaze like Petrino. Here's a pretty good read about the situation by Mandel.  http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/college-football/news/20140109/bobby-petrino-louisville-tom-jurich-mandel/

Good article - pretty scathing in regards to Jurich, and you know what?  I can't really disagree.

That's from July 2006, when Petrino signed the 10-year deal (which was Petrino's idea) with the $1 million buyout (which was Petrino's idea) because "Louisville is home" (Petrino's words). Six months later, Tom Jurich was left searching for a new coach because Petrino bolted. Amazing that Petrino can say this **** with a straight face, and amazing that Jurich can actually sit there and listen to it. They both look like fools.

Exactly. Anything about his character suggest that he wouldn't O'Leary himself to get a job he wanted?

WKU was 8-4 this past season and didn't go to a bowl game.

 

You'd have to believe that was because of having Petrino as the head coach.
