Smack right in section 7 of BP's current contract

“Just Cause termination” would include “disparaging media publicity in material nature that damages the good name and reputation of Employer or University,” the contracts states, “if such publicity is caused by Employee’s willful misconduct that could objectively be anticipated to bring (Petrino and U of L) into public disrepute or scandal, or which tends greatly to offend the public.”

The UL fan Kratz keeps talking about illegal conduct when that isn't even relevant to being in violation of the terms of a coach's contract. It's a shell game with UL fans.

When your AD will lie to cover up for the coach, there is no chance a moral clause is any good. Jurich knew what he was getting when he hired Lying Bobby back. Lying Bobby had not told the truth at any of the other places he had been, so why should this time be any different.
A lot of people thought Lying Bobby would leave Louisville for another job after this year. I knew there was NO way he was going to leave, because other AD's would not put up with his Lying and BS. He, Jurich and Pitno at "Birds of a Feather," and will always stay together,

In order for this or any contractual clause to mean anything, it must be enforced. Let's face it. UL has had trouble holding onto its football coaches. In 2006, Petrino interviewed with Auburn behind Jurich's back, then took the head coaching job with the Atlanta Falcons. In 2014, Charlie Strong left Louisville for the Texas job, although Jurich fought hard to keep Strong. Because Petrino had been fired at Arkansas over an embarrassing 2011 scandal, Jurich was able to lock Petrino up to replace Strong with a restrictive contract. Jurich's goal with the restrictive contract language is to make Petrino a captive coach. The language won't be enforced unless Jurich has to save his own scalp.

Not worth the money it is printed on. There is no such things as ethics over there. They never hold their actions accountable and certainly are not going to start now. It is just a bunch of words. All that UL cares about is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$. That is there claim to fame

Petrino could always claim the Pitino defense.

"I didn't know anything about it. I'm shocked that someone would do this to me under my watch"

Moral and morals have different meaning to different folks. Someone with high standard of morals would see this as a violation of a moral clause. However, were talking about a school that has let waaayyyy worse things than this go on without a peep. In summary, to enforce a moral clause, you must first have morals. Absence of morals negates any clause in any contract.

The larger question is if there is ANYTHING that LilBrothel would consider as a violation of its view of "Morals."
Good name of the University???? He should be the one objecting to the notion that he is tarnishing its good name. That one is a joke. Good name and UofL are an oxymoron.

They were more worried about a confederate statue that had been there 100 plus years being offensive..

Petrino's morality clause:

"You, or someone you know, has a vague understanding of what the word 'morality' means and can cite an example or two of moral behavior. 'Someone you know' in the context of this clause means a person you have seen at least one time, even if you don't know their name."

Hmmm. I always thought "public disrepute" was a basic qualification to work for UL.

Petrino and Pitino could rape and kill 50 women in 15 seconds and Jurich would say they didn't mean to do it.

I understand a fellow Louisville fan bringing up Petrino's contract. However why would a U.K. Fan care what his contract says ?

My guess is you want him gone cause he is 6-1 vs UK while at Louisville and you feel it would be easier to beat Louisville if Petrino isn't there. I get that because I want Calipari gone and for UK to rehire BCG lol.

Why would a UK fan bring it up? The same reason UL athletics is being roasted by the national press- to once again show the cheating and lack of morals your AD and coaches have and yet nothing is done because that is the sick, twisted culture of UL athletics.

How can you offend the UL public? Not possible if Pitino and Petrino haven't already done so.

See there is your problem. Jurich interprets that clause as a relative case. Petrino would have to make UL look worse than it currently appears to be. Since that isn't the case in most people's eyes (UL is perceived as corrupt to the core), he simply enhances the reputation they already have.

Jurich would interpret that to mean "Just Cause my coaches do that don't mean I have to fire them"

The morals clause only applies in losing seasons.
Yep, it's win at all cost at UL...nothing else matters. I just have to laugh at every UL fan because they just don't get it. Their AD is slime but they don't care...just win...as long as they do that nothing else matters. PURE SLIME! [sick]

For any UL fans looking in...you're UNIVERSITY is nothing but SLIME...do you understand that??? IT'S SLIME...POND SCUM...the GUNK at the bottom of a PORT A POT...[poop][poop][poop]

It's kind of petty of me, but as a UK fan I enjoy any turmoil at UL. I just enjoy seeing the fans squirm. But as a fan it's always been a cyclical thing as far as UK/UL sports goes. One is always up and the other is down. As much as I'm enjoying the football side of things, it wouldn't surprise me to see the basketball team lose to UNC and UL in the next week giving UL fans something to crow about again.

My fan pendulum swings from highs to lows it seems regarding UK and UL. A lot of that is having to live and work in Louisville though.

Petrino is hard to beat. And, he seems to be recruiting well. But, he is not the coaching giant people used to claim.
