LOL Bobby Petrino commited staying anywhere for 8 years...that's high comedy.
Bobby doesn't really care that much about his players. They're all just tools of the trade to him. During his second stint here at Louisville half the team didn't even know where his office was in the football complex. None of them had ever been there before. His staff was atrocious, filled mostly with his family most of whom had no business being in the positions they were at that point in their careers or with "recruiters" that couldn't coach their way out of a wet paper bag...*cough...Lamar Thomas...cough*
He couldn't be bothered to recruit properly. His classes were so unbalanced, it lead other head coaches to say it was the poorest managed roster in college football. He had ZERO relationships with any of the local high school coaches. Once Todd Grantham left, the defense recruiting and coaching fell off the end of the Earth. Of course a lot of that early success was with Charlie Strong's players on defense.
Subsequently the relationship between players and coaching staff broke and it ended with a 2 win season and Petrino's firing. Petrino basically quit coaching and recruiting after the loss to FSU in 2018. He just wanted is $14 mil to go away. Money that we're still paying him with no offset language in his contract, thank you very much.
Scott Satterfield was named ACC coach of the year and he earned it. Our entire program needed a reboot culturally and on the football field. The only thing that stayed constant was academics, but that's an athletic department culture. You go to class and you graduate. That had very little to do with Petrino.
Petrino says he knew he wouldn't stay retired
Bobby Petrino is glad to have a job again, even if it's at one of the bottom programs in the second tier of college football.
