Petrino Signs New 10-year Contract
(LOUISVILLE, Ky.) -- Louisville football coach Bobby Petrino signed a new 10-year contract Thursday that will earn him up to $1.3 million a year plus bonuses.
Petrino, whose last contract was signed before the Cardinals entered the Big East conference, had been earning $1 million a year plus bonuses.
Petrino, 45, has been mentioned as a candidate for several major coaching vacancies _ including the head coaching job for the NFL's Oakland Raiders in February, but has said he wants to stay at Louisville.
The new contract runs through the 2015 season.
Petrino is 29-8 in three seasons with the Cardinals. Louisville went 9-3 last fall, losing to Virginia Tech in the Gator Bowl. Louisville finished 19th in the final poll.
