This. Bobby is a family man above anything else.
Petrino To LSU
- Thread starter El Gato Calvo
- Start date
Bingo!
Besides owning the ACC he get to clobber Mitch and the Cats every year.
No reason for him to leave Louisville.
When Jurich had his arm around Petrino on the sidelines of the Fla. St. game, he said something to to Petrino and I ran it back several times and it looked like Jurich said, "you are never leaving here again" and Petrino replied, "I promise".
Correct. I don't know him or his family but I know a few people that do. They would be shocked if he left. Its no longer about who can pay what or who has a better team, conference, etc. Its about the family dynamics now. He doesn't owe ul anything but his family dynamics would hinder him from leaving.
You can ask Mike Zimmer if he and the rest of the staff were shocked when he left Atlanta. There was a lot that should've hindered him leaving like it being the middle of the season. He still left. Petrino has a history of doing what is best for him and he tends to do it in a bad fashion. Throw whatever money LSU has to offer to someone as egotistical as Petrino "family dynamics" may not matter anymore.
He isn't leaving Louisville. It's wishful thinking but it's not happening. Louisville is in a P5 conference and is getting just as much attention as any other school. Imagine if he wins the championship at Louisville . He could cement his own legacy and it's a place he first started his head coaching job. As much as I would like to see him go, it's not happening until he retires or gets fired because he has become ineffective. Until then, we have to deal with Louisville becoming a powerhouse in football.
Money will not keep his marriage or family together. If not for the very public affair, I might agree. I will tell you his family will feel betrayed if he attempts to leave louisville. The money will not make up for this.
Uofl gave Bobby his second chance and like he has done with every other coach there jurich will pay him what he wants. There recruiting is better than it's ever been plus he finally has his players in a system that he wants. He'll be at uofl for a while. No doubt in my mind. Plus He's already coached in the sec
They might get a call but so will Herman and urban Meyer and bob stoops and Jim harbaugh and Charlie strong and every other good coach out there. Who in their right mind would leave the best qb in the country?
Well your source is wrong. Petrino would not leave Lamar Jackson and after Louisville gave him a chance again I don't think he would leave even after Jackson leaves
My point was that Petrino won't care about that stuff if LSU comes at him with a $10 million/yr or whatever crazy offer that they can give him. Lots of family's love their current place and then the coach leaves anyways.
Did you feel the same way about Cal taking over the bb program?
no is Petrino is not leaving UL to be Saban;s ***** again. Why would he leave UL he basically has to beat 2 teams a year in the ACC, he has the most dynamic player in CFB coming back next year and UL is getting ready to pay him a boat load of money after this season.
In his instance is doesn't matter anymore. To be blunt, he's not calling all of the shots anymore from what I've been told if you catch my drift.
Get real OP. Petrino would be the biggest moron on the planet if he left with having Lamar Jackson as his QB. 0 chance it happens.
If he leaves UL it will be after Lamar is drafted.
If he leaves UL it will be after Lamar is drafted.
Honest Bob would never, never leave Louisville, as many Louisville fans are telling us on this very thread. He is too ethical to violate a contract, and, devoted family man that he is, he would not go against the wishes of family. What's more, Louisville is one of the most prestigious college football programs in the nation. So, Honest Bob isn't going anywhere. Now, they told us the same thing last time (and also assured us the same about Strong) but I'm sure that they're right this time.
You understand there are degrees of wrongdoing, right? Jaywalking isn't the same as a DUI, which isn't the same as armed robbery, which isn't the same as a planned murder. Cal, Petrino, Briles, Bliss - not all the same. You could approve of hiring one and disapprove of hiring another without being inconsistent.....
He's not leaving the city of louisville. He may or may not get am invite front LSU or elsewhere. He and turtleneck will them tell the world he rebuffed them and ul is a destination job, blah blah blah.
If Petrino goes to LSU (IMO very likely) watch for LSU to become the class of the SEC and leapfrog bama. They will always have a stout defense, but if you throw in Petrino's offensive mastermind ability into the equation. Then I seriously think LSU could become better than Saban and Bama. Bama always has a defense that's best of the best, LSU's defense isnt that far behind though most years. Bring in the offensive mastermind that is Petrino then well I think LSU's offense would surpass Bama's by milles, while having a tiny bit less effective defense in comparison to Bama.
Would be a homerun hire for LSU IMO. Just as I feel it would've been a homerun hire for us but all we all know how much MB would rather have a PR coach who sucks and doesn't win and someone HE sees as classy and nice to talk to than a coach who is a passionate ahole, success driven man who is a proven winner that's going to win you a lot of damn football games. I just can't believe we put up with an AD who rather have a nice guy HC than someone who wins. I'd rather win with a dbag HC than have a nice kindhearted does all the right things in his personal life HC everyday of the week. It's as if we pay our HC's millions to lose but to lose the right way by being classy. As long as they're good people then who cares about winning right???

Most people that compete at the highest level of their profession don't take the easy way out. Most people love the idea of competing against the best. It's what makes them good. If UL can offer him a ton of money that may be enough to keep him. I disagree with the idea that he only has to beat 2 teams a year is going to make him want to stay. Bobby Petrino and any other top coach isn't going to run away from the SEC because "it's too hard."
Once again just answer this. Why would he leave the best qb/ maybe player in the country? Which I understand lsu repeatedly gets 4 5 star players like Jackson but Louisville gave him another chance nobody else would and jurich already said money will never be a factor when a coach decides whether to leave or stay
hey uavel troll with 9 posts are your ballz sweating[laughing][laughing][laughing][laughing][laughing][laughing][laughing][laughing]
Jurich will be long gone troll..time to retire now back under your rock in Loserville

UL can't extend Jackson to a 7 year deal. He's gone after next year and Petrino knows that. Also, the LSU offer won't be on the table anytime soon after this year either. So, what other big time program is going to be getting a new coach soon? Does he hope Saban retires soon? Or maybe hope Texas gives Strong 1 more year after this one and if it doesn't pan out they go after Strong? LSU may be the best program that's going to come calling for Petrino. If LSU comes calling he'd be stupid not to listen to the idea.
UL did give him a 2nd chance. I highly doubt that means anything to Petrino though. He's shown he cares very little for his employer and his associates. Why change now?
Here's a rumor for you. Petrino wants to coach in the SEC, but stay in Kentucky. Now how does he do that? Louisville going to the SEC?
Petrino has a chance to win a title at uofl and has an easier road there as well. Maybe in the long run he might leave but lsu has to find a coach sometime before next season and given that Jackson will still be at uofl Petrino won't be lsu' next coach
Louisville has a Ten Million Dollar buyout in its favor in the Petrino contract. This buyout provides that if Petrino leaves Louisville before 2018, then Petrino owes Louisville Ten Million Dollars. Even if LSU offers Petrino Five Million Dollars per year, Petrino wouldn't break even on the deal until after two years of work. I really think this buyout will keep Petrino at Louisville through 2018. Incidently, UK would get no money if Stoops is hired by another school. UK owes Stoops 12 Million Dollars if he is fired, but Stoops could leave UK without paying a dime. If stoops had succeeded and become a hot commodity, there was no upside protection for UK in the contract.
Leave Mitch alone sir. His job is very stressful. Nobody wants to come here. Microwave malfunctions. Thank you
Well he was coaching the Atlanta Falcons and that didn't stop him from going to Arkansas. I think Petrino, and most other head coach, would cherish the idea of trying to win a national championship in what has been the toughest conference. Very few competitors are going to be afraid of competing against the very best. What could be more fun that trying to win against the top of your profession? What's more fun, battling against Auburn, Bama, A&M and the rest of the SEC every year or the 2 big games you get in the ACC? You don't get to where Petrino is without thinking you're the best. I think he'd cherish the idea of trying to play against Saban every year, not run away from it.
And it's foolish to think one player is going to keep a top coach from going to a top program. Jackson is a phenomenal player, but Petrino only gets 1 more year with him. Then what? He waits another 3 years for a big name school to fire their coach. Petrino knows he can coach an NFL factory at LSU.
I could see BP going to LSU. Most coaches want to coach at top schools. That's why Cal left Memphis, where he had things rolling, to come to UK. And Jurich needed a great coach, that's why he gave BP a second chance, wasn't because he thought BP was a changed man, Jurich isn't dumb, he knew ever how many years he got from BP would be way better than other coaches he could get. They probably had pizza and beer in that three hour meeting and discussed their grandkids like Bill and Loretta did.
