Bobby Petrino: "I am not a candidate for any job openings."

[Sportz Addict]

Same thing every year the Petrino rumors.... This guy loves attention, im amazed he said this.

[TheDeuce]

The fact that he has to say something regarding his position at the end of nearly every season speaks volumes, both in a positive & negative manner, IMO.

 

How is it BP's fault that other schools are interested in him as a coach?? :confused:

[AverageJoesGym]

I mean, unless he's already accepted the job what is he supposed to say? I'm currently being considered for 5-10 head coaching jobs and weighing my offers, all current recruits should just stay tuned and it wouldn't hurt Jurich to go to his contingency play? He's done a great job at UL and someone will make at least an exploratory run at him every year.

I think Petrino is happy where he is and which way the program is heading. The next 2-3 years are crucial, but if the cards don't drop off much, or any. Then he's looking towards a bright future for that program.

I think you're on to something here, but don't we go through this every year?

Most coaches who are successful at programs that are not established football powers have to do similar things. Comes with the territory.

[ColonelCrazy]

He did that to himself, by being a great coach, and a poor, poor liar.

 

My point exactly.

From the "BamaNation" thank you Coach for helping us narrow it down. We will respect your decision and leave you alone. Good Luck Cards on Saturday.

Was this statement made on a plane at the airport while interviewing for another job?

Shouldn't you be worried about why your team is 6-6 and looking for a new coach, rather than worrying about ours?

[MountainThunder]

Like him or not, Petrino is a very good coach. How many teams in the country who lose 2 Heisman candidates (1 for the season in game 1 and another for a few games) and continue to win as UL has? Not too many. The bottom line is that the Cards fans wanted to hear that he wasn't planning on going anywhere. What was he going to say, "I'm am going to look at the Alabama job"?

 

He has UL football going in the right direction, has a solid AD, and does not have near the pressure that he would have at Alabama. If you are making $2.5 million per year and they offer $3 million, I don't think it would be worth the additional pressures.

[JumperPride]

I don;t know he is making a pretty good living at Louisville. However they still are not considered a powerhouse. He is a great coach that wont be staying at Louisville forever. I think he is a couple years away from leaving Louisville.

However they still are not considered a powerhouse.

They're right there.....another year or two like this...and they are officially a powerhouse.

Nah, it is so much more fun to take my jabs at your team. My team is actually the team in Blue and White but you always have to have a backup plan, besides mine might be more of a baseball attraction.......:banana:

 

Besides, maybe "my team" will be the one in the plane...:thumb:
