I love it. Ouside the Lines at 4:30PM on Bobby Petrino. How in the world do parents let their kids play for this slime? Mind boggling....

What Were They Thinking?
Blindsided by the prospect of success, Louisville made a stunning choice by hiring Bobby Petrino. Mark Schlabach »High-risk move about ACC »Petrino back to coach Cardinals again »Vote »

4:30 p.m. ET on ESPN2 & WatchESPN.com: Outside The Lines on Bobby Petrino

Petrino: “This is my destination job.”

Petrino has a $10 million buyout. Also Clint Hurtt will be part of the staff

Jurich said he spent an hour on the phone w/ John Swofford about this. "John totally supports this. He thinks it's a great move."

Jurich had to spend an hour on the phone, (on the carpet) with ACC Commish Swofford explaining himself, interesting....to then tweet that he had his support. ....
and they haven't even played a game in any sport yet in the ACC. How is your choice of Louisville looking now Mr. Swofford.???.......

In all fairness to Swofford, Louisville was- as far as what we can glean from the ACC expansion process- not his choice. We were. But we got jobbed out by the FSUs, Clemsons and BCs of the world who overruled Swofford's UNC/Duke/UVA etc. group.
 
Is it wrong to hope for a cheating scandal or recruiting violation at WKU or UL in the very near future? If it weren't for the honest kids in those programs I'd wish it all day long. :rolleyes:

I guess I'll settle for the hope of mediocre results that most of the recent teams who've left our conference are getting, or will be getting. :cool:

yeah, an hour spent on the phone with Swofford doesn't really indicate that they were seeing eye to eye. Sounds like a lot of Jurich promising things to Swofford.
And yes, Swofford didn't want Louisville originally, he wanted UConn, but it was only after he saw his conference threatened from within that he held his nose and took the Ville. Bad school, horrible morals off the court and gridiron by the faces of the university's athletics.
I like Jurich, but man what the hell is he thinking. There had to be good options other than Petrino who didn't have the baggage. And to keep Hurtt is just a huge black eye on Jurich. Really makes him look bush-league.

It certainly appears that Jurich has made these moves, hiring Petrino and keeping Hurtt, to ensure that Louisville is competitive in the ACC next year...and beyond. The irony of it all is that if either of these guys "blow up" with a scandal or violation, Jurich may have accomplished exactly the opposite of his goal. Good luck with that...as you won't be getting anyone's sympathy when the inevitable happens!

With the P&P show now prime time at Louisville, I have no idea how Louisville avoids a NCAA and/or criminal scandal of some sort. Then again, we are talking about the NCAA, which can be blinded by the a school making it rain the color green. Miami, cough, cough, Cam Newton, cough, cough, Johnny Football, cough, cough, UNC, cough, cough...:mad:
 
Jurich deserves whatever he gets from this hire. "Screw me once, shame on you, screw me twice.......
 
I LOVE this hire! To go from Strong to Petrino is too good to be true for Louisville Community College haters. What happens first:

- Petrino leaves LCC for another job
- Petrino is fired for some kind of scandal

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Jurich FINALLY made a friggin' mistake and I LOVE it!!

I heard Petrino already has calls into Arthur Blank

I've heard that the hookers and blow markets are trending upwards in Louisville today.
 
Love the obligatory Petrino-while-in-neckbrace photoshop job

So the latest side story in the Louisville coaching search is this:
4 star DE Poona Ford (here is his profile:http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recruiting/player-Poona-Ford-145522) wasn't contacted for 6 days according to Mark Ennis a UL beat guy:
@Mengus2212m
Nobody called Poona Ford for six days. That's...a mistake

Ford decommited from UL sometime yesterday
