Who can explain why his buyout will be smaller just because TJ is gone. Isn't everything in a contract? I don't understand.
Petrino's buyout
- Thread starter valley St. Card
- Start date
It was in his contract. I guess he feels TJ has his back under any circumstance like RP right or wrong. A new AD may not have anybodys back except the welfare of the program, what a concept.
The University isn’t getting rid of Petrino, the speculation is he will leave since TJ maybe gone. Someone will come biding and the fear is Petrino will jump ship since TJ is gone.
We're afraid CBP wants to work for TJ.
TJs gone and CBP just might decide to go back to the SEC.
All speculation.
The only reason I discuss it is because Petrino has a long history of jumping around. Maybe he gets bored at places after a while or runs out of talent or is always searching for the next better gig..who knows.
If he was planning on staying because of the buyout being high, to prove everyone wrong about him (hopping from place to place), or because of Jurich, that is all basically out the door now.
I dont think anyone would blame him for leaving morally because he could say, " I liked my boss and I was here because of him and now he is gone", he could now leave with about half of the buyout that was initially in the contract and other schools may take a look at him. Its just forum talk but you have to wonder.
Given his past of getting bored at places and hopping around for whatever reason, his ticket out just got a whole hell of a lot easier.

Thanks for answering. I can see your point of view. When you find somebody whom you know has your back, you want to stick with them. When my prior director left for another opportunity, I very much wanted to follow.
When Jurich was contemplating bringing CBP back, it was on condition that they would be a huge contract buyout clause based on Bobby's past history. I wouldn't know why they would add the clause that if Jurich was no longer AD? So does CBP hold a grudge against Jurich for making him sign a contract with a huge buyout?
WOW!!!! why is every news about UofL always bad. I just found out about this, and I want to wonder why is this even in his contract. It just sounds shady.
They didn't want BP using U of L as a stepping stone to a bigger job but doesn't make sense to add a clause saying if Jurich was no longer the AD
It was something that was most likely added at the request of Petrino. Remember that in these negotiations everyone typically gives up something. My bet is Petrino didn't even want a buyout but would agree to one as long as Jurich was there. So Petrino agreed to a buyout and UofL agreed to put in the Jurich stipulation to make it work. Remember that this was right as we were going into the ACC so we couldn't afford to have another Kragthorpe debacle. It was in the best interest of both the university and Petrino to make it happen.
The thing you have to understand about coaches is that there a big trust between coaches and AD's. New AD's typically clean house and want to hire their own guys. New AD's don't want to be on the hook for a coach they didn't hire themselves. With Petrino's past you can probably bet that a new AD will have him on a very short leash. I can completely understand Petrino being nervous right now and I think whoever the new AD is will be the deciding factor in whether he stays or goes.
Looks like a trade off. Tom Jurich gave Petrino another shot at a power 5 school when schools like Auburn and Tennessee passed. BPs rep was pretty much in shambles.
In return, Jurich had a huge buyout clause put in to protect Louisville and himself from getting egg on their faces if Petrino found his groove and started getting offers from other schools.
Pretty savvy move at the time.

Petrino could leave. Tennessee is frothing at the mouth about how they are playing.
LSU has little patience for losing to Troy. Nebraska isn't a bunch of happy campers.
The West Coast always has slots.
If Louisville ends with an 8 or 9 win season including a bowl win AND Tom Jurich leaves (cuts that buyout in half) I think Petrino has rehabbed enough PR wise to get a call.

Why would I or any U of L fan be interested in what a slapd!ck thinks about U of L matters?
For the U of L fans here, don't think a new AD has the same commitment to our coaches that the old guy did. He doesn't, and that's one reason the coaches unanimously want Jurich back. That commitment cuts both ways...
Yeah, let's hope for as many changes as possible at one time. Things aren't eff-ed up enough...
Probably no more than your opinions mean on the UK boards when you post over there, but this was a discussion about the likelihood of Petrino leaving, not whether you cared what anyone else thought.
It's too early to judge what Tyra will do, much less crucify him before anything happens. He will get paid to monitor and ensure Louisville success. Sure all the coaches are loyal to Jurich...he hired them. Even the ones fired and on leave right now. If Tyra treats the coaches fairly I would imagine they will be loyal to him as well.
I'm not the lost guy... I don't post on slapd!ck message boards because I was banned at birth. One word, fear.
And it sounds like you understand that your opinions don't matter here. Thanks for visiting.
"Elite program," my a$$...
We better not lose to Boston College, if we do Bobby Petrino has taken the program in a backwards direction!
He is a good coach , has made some mistakes but he looks like he has learned from his mistakes. He is a top 10 coach and you all should be glad you have him and not try to run him off!
I'm as disgusted as anybody, but .....I'm pretty sure CBP is disgusted too. He's too much of a competitor not to be.
I gotta see how we finish, how the injury bug goes, and this years recruits.
If Bobby can figure out IF he WANTS to stay here with TJ gone, and if he can figure out "who he is" as far as personnel, he can keep it going. We may have too hig of expectations as a fan base, but if we can go 8-4, 9-3 regularly, we can't bitch.
As exciting, and great as LJ is, I think CBP will have an OVERALL better offense with Pass. He fits CBP1's style better.
(You know, the style that labeled him an "offensive genius" in the first place. The one he used at Ark that got him up to 11 wins in the $EC)

)Lol....gotta have people give opposing view Zipp....even if you hate em. It all comes down to if you don't like it don't read it.
Oregon State is an interesting spot.....they've released their coach and he tells them not to worry about his 12 million dollar severance. Now there's a school that could now financially afford to offer Petrino.
The faction that wanted to get rid of Jurich (and Pitino) was not happy with the Petrino hire (morality grounds). I can see CBP looking over his shoulder w/o Jurich's protection, and possibly start looking. Also, a lot of the fan base is not as happy with CBP's second stint as they were with his first go around.
If we lose to BC, I want Petrino to be fired before the bowl game. Why you ask? Cause we are favored by 20 against BC.
No coaches have the commitment from a new AD that they do/did from the guy who hired them. That goes beyond Petrino, and it usually distills down to wins and losses.
I also don't know that the portion of the fanbase you're talking about WRT Petrino has much to say about his outcome...
Your point about what my opinions mean--presumably little--on an LPT message board is irrelevant since that's not where we are.
And that in fact, supports MY POINT since you're on a U of L message board. If your opinions mean that little here, why are you here? Do you understand your own attempt at logic??
"Elite program," my a$$...
And I'll add to that as I have before... ANY year that we win ten games is a successful year. I don't care about the details and the circumstances...
