January 8, 201412 yr I also think Petrino is an upgrade so kudos if UL gets him. But if I were Petrino I would hang back for another year or two and see if you can land something better. But his reputation may have been sullied so much he believes this is the best he can do? That is not meant as a shot at UL, either.
January 8, 201412 yr Author Yes, the very fans on here have forgiven the mess he left behind the first time and the lack of class. They are addicted to the winning at all cost drug that your referencing. Who exactly are you talking about? Do you have specific instances you're referencing?
January 8, 201412 yr Hurtt and Bedford (as of now) aren't going with Strong. I'd say they can recruit pretty well.Cocaine and hookers are typically a good recruiting tool.

January 8, 201412 yr I was merely referencing the "messes" he left behind at UMass and Memphis. Those are commonly forgotten by UK fans. My bad, didn't mean to offend you or King Cal... To be fair how much of those messes are on Cal? You can maybe make a argument that he was involved or at least knew about Derrik Rose but can you really put Camby on him? As far as Bobby goes, I personally don't really care. If Louisville and it's fans are ok with it then that's all that really matters. Other then being a scum bag he hasn't broken any NCAA rules that I know of so it is what it is. He's a hell of a football coach and would be a great hire. I would have be thrilled if UK would have hired Pitino back after he left Boston so I definitely understand UL fans wanting Bobby back.
January 8, 201412 yr He's one of 3 finalists....From other reports I've read, Pat Narduzzi is another of the finalists. Wonder who the 3rd is? I think I may go with Narduzzi over Petrino if I'm Jurich. :idunno:
January 8, 201412 yr Author To be fair how much of those messes are on Cal? You can maybe make a argument that he was involved or at least knew about Derrik Rose but can you really put Camby on him? If Petrino (or whoever Louisville hires, doesn't really matter) left two schools and there was that kind of fall out behind him, do you think we'd hear about that before/during/after their tenure at UL? As far as Bobby goes, I personally don't really care. If Louisville and it's fans are ok with it then that's all that really matters. Other then being a scum bag he hasn't broken any NCAA rules that I know of so it is what it is. He's a hell of a football coach and would be a great hire. I would have be thrilled if UK would have hired Pitino back after he left Boston so I definitely understand UL fans wanting Bobby back. I just want the best man for the job, and I have faith that Jurich will make the right decision. I'm not one to forever ridicule someone for mistakes that they've made, because I've made some too. The way you feel about Petrino is the way I feel about Cal. Hell of a coach, not sure I'd necessarily be comfortable with him coaching my team, but if UK fans like him then so be it. Doesn't really affect me much, and makes the rivalry that much better.

Kinda think the 3rd person may be the front runner since nobody has any idea who it is...
January 8, 201412 yr I want to know who the third is as well... Kinda think the 3rd person may be the front runner since nobody has any idea who it is... Jay Gruden?? From some stuff I was reading last night, it sounds like Jurich is hesitant about re-hiring Petrino, but that the big money donors really want him. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.
January 8, 201412 yr Author Jay Gruden?? From some stuff I was reading last night, it sounds like Jurich is hesitant about re-hiring Petrino, but that the big money donors really want him. Will be interesting to see how it plays out. Gruden has been thrown around on Twitter, but I'm not sure there's any validity to him being a possibility. Besides, I'd rather the Bengals keep him.
January 8, 201412 yr Author Vance Bedford tweeted this an hour ago: "Tom Jurich has not picked a head coach yet. Until then I am still in the hunt. Go Cards."
January 8, 201412 yr I promise not to say a bad word about Louisville for 6 months if they hire Gruden away from the Bengals. Please Lord make it happen.
