Apples to Oranges. Pearl got a show cause while he was here for lying to the NCAA. Petrino didn't do anything wrong at UL.

I agree that it is an apples to oranges comparison but the NCAA could not stop the Univ of Tenn from hiring Bruce Pearl if they wanted to.

I personally think this a good fit for the 2 parties. Louisville needs a proven winner. Petrino needs a bigger job. The difference this time around is the contract will probably have more stipulations. And while Petrino has been known to move around. It usually was to upgrade jobs till he realized he hated the NFL. He then landed at a BCS school. Now that Louisville is is in the ACC ole Bobby may stick with this one since he can get into the BCS picture easier than the Big east.

The first time somebody waves more cash, he'll leave a post it note on his desk and sneak out the back door.

Zero chance he pissed everyone and their brother on his exit. The guy has a legacy of pissing off every previous employer. This is the equivalent of thinking he has a chance to return to the Falcons

Looks like you don't need to go to Vegas

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.

I think it's going to be Chad Morris Clemson offensive coordinator to Louisville or Vandy.

Thing is nobody really wants Franklin --- all those jobs filled and no Franklin offers

If Franklin is that bad then why bring him up? But the real side is James Franklin is a good coach. I am a Vols fan but you have to give him his due. If he can bring Vandy to win that many games he can coach. People on here talk about him but we had one just like him (Kiffin) but Franklin is a better coach.

Kind of funny that Louisville will go out and hire a good football coach and have success but Kentucky keeps hiring these coaches that never do anything...Got to open up that pocket book to get a proven coach one of these days instead of hiring a bunch of unproven assistants.

Won't argue with that. When I win the mega millions I will subsidize Harbaugh to UK.

If I were any ACC teams or Kentucky I'd be skeered. Bobby P gets himself a good D coordinator Louisville will be dangerous next season.

Not true. His wife loved UofL and never wanted him to leave but she couldn't deny him the opportunity at the NFL. She loves KY and that's one of the reasons he was so willing to take the WKU job. They have a daughter at UofL, one residing in Louisville and their other daughter is married to one of his coaches so they'll be there. If he leaves UofL he'll likely end up divorced and worth 50% less.
