So Kentucky has always been squeaky clean? Yes Petrino may not be Husband of the year material, but if his scandal has nothing to do with the actual football team why not forgive and forget? If he had broken some recruiting rules that would be different, but what we are talking about is an affair.
Yah. The scandal of sleeping with an assistant's fiance and putting her on the university payroll while he was banging her... That had nothing to do with the football program and university. News flash... If it was just a personal issue, he probably wouldn't have been fired in the first place.
I think that would be a great spot for little Jimmy as well. I sent a text to my Louisville buddy about that yesterday.
Petrino will never be welcomed back in Louisville. He left a dumpster fire on his exit.
Derek Mason is a name to watch for here.
The fact of the matter is that it was a scandal, it should not have happened but it did. But it was a personal matter. Yes she was on the payroll when she should not have been, but as far as coaching goes he is still clean. Coaches have done much worse and hardly get the same amount of flak.
I have a buddy close to the program his name is beginning to circulate with some regularity. Unbelievable, but true.
Call me crazy, but I don't think Petrino to Louisville is completely out of the question.

Wow.
I don't see how U of L brings him back, given the way he left. Amazing.
. . . and, as I just posted somewhere else, they'll act surprised when he inevitably does it again. Just goes to show how little fans care about the integrity of a school and how great the pressure to win is on Athletic Departments.
