Come on down to Knoxville Bobby. Lol jk, but this very much means that Petrino will leave Louisville.

Props to UL. Didn't think they could grow a pair and do it.

At this point, I'm not sure it takes growing a pair. Their University is under FBI investigation. I'm not sure they really have a choice.

Petrino will not be coach at UL next year.

Boosters were completely losing their minds trying to influence the school to keep him. Yes, it should have been a no brainer to see Jurich fired, but this is UL. The same school that hung on to Pitino through multiple scandals, took back Petrino, and allowed Jurich to run wild for years. I'm pleasantly surprised UL did what everyone said they needed to do.

I just hope he's not in Knoxville

so Petrino is definitely not being watched by an adult now.

Why not?

 

[General Jack]

Only other school that would have so little shame as to employ Petrino and Pitino would be Auburn.

You forgot to mention Alabama.

I wonder how many people know that Petrino's buyout just got cut in half..Petrino had a clause in his contract that stipulated it if Jurich was terminated.....

*Original buyout $8.5 million is now $4.25 million

You know, though, it was in a weird way kind of refreshing what U of L had become.
They were a latter day Miami.
Renegades , hooligans, misfits.
Both coaches and players in football and basketball.
They sort of had a ...if ur not cheating, ur not trying...kind of attitude.
They were the worst role models out there and they just didn’t seem to give a s**t . That was their niche.
What will they be now?
Miami hired Reverend Richt.
Maybe Louisville can hire Hugh Freeze on the comeback....no more hooker trail?
