Firing Bobby makes no sense unless you are sure you’ve got Jeff. Easy to forget we still have a pretty good coach who is in the middle of an epically bad run. Under ordinary circumstances, you’d owe it to him to get it turned around.

Things have been going south since the debacle in Houston. That was the beginning of this horrid streak we can't seem to shake ourselves out of. Since November 17 of 2016, this program has 10 wins and 14 losses.Firing Bobby makes no sense unless you are sure you’ve got Jeff.

Dude after today him or his family wont even want to be here ? Are you delusional. Petrino will not be coaching uofl next yearCan’t answer that, but it’s possible. Are you blind to the reality that BP is the most likely coach next year?

Not likely at all. Negotiating a lesser buyout with him currently is what I’ve been told before the Klenakis crap hits the fan.Can’t answer that, but it’s possible. Are you blind to the reality that BP is the most likely coach next year?
Gloom and doom. 24 months ago it all looked quite differently no? How can you confidently conclude the downward trend continues?

See my earlier post. None of it comes from the “internet”.Ah....”the stuff.” Hang your hat on that Internet stuff. Occasionally it comes true.

LOL. I cannot believe people are still defending Bobby
You mean after the Brohm win? I’m not defending him...just suggesting he may deserve one bad year.
Outside of Grantham, the coaching staff was never great. Petrino 1.0 won a ton of games with Mike Gillehamer as DC. Who? Exactly. Also haven’t seen much difference in recruiting with Cort gone.

Not a defender. Just openly questioning the Brohm zealots. As I said, firing BP would be a mistake unless we were certainl Brohm were in the fold.
I said inside football office. Also, 50/50 means what it means. How does that equate to KK being incorrect in his statement?I think you said inside the athletic department right? You know this of course, but some loose-lipped employees are known to talk other there. Remember back when Kenny Klein put Krags leaving for SMU at “50/50”? And KK is one I’d actually trust.
Every fan has their own point of view for the program and their own two eyes and ears to make their opinions on Petrino. I made mine during year 3 and things have only went downhill since. My only hope is that Louisville isn't "forced" to keep Petrino due to finances then the already toxic environment around the program will get even worse. I really hope a change is made in December. I have a very bad feeling that if Petrino is retained we're going to fall to a level thats going to take years to climb out of.
While this is true, he’s actually only had one subpar season and it’s not even over yet.
It won’t, because the infrastructure any great coach needs to succeed has already been built here. Louisville has the best, newest facilities in the ACC and membership in a P5 conference to go with it.
The only thing that sets the program back years is hiring the next Steve Kragthorpe. The “worry” about setting the program back by waiting to pull the trigger is a non-issue created by people like yourself to support a rationale to get rid of a coach you don’t like.
Just win baby. That fixes everythingThis whole situation became toxic in a minute. I don't see anyway he stays in this environment. I have no idea if letting him go is the right thing to do, but what I do know is the fan base is done. College football is tough enough with a great fan base, but it is nearly impossible with angry/discontent fan base. When people resort to spreading rumors that are designed to hurt a coach and people believe the rumors immediately that is another sign he has lost the fans. Local radio stations stirring the pot. It is just a mess.
I thought if they couldn't get Brohm they needed to keep Petrino, but after yesterday's reaction to an unfounded rumor the University has to move on. It is beyond fixing at this point.
It will all depend on the coach hired to replace Petrino and the caliber of the staff he brings with him. Plenty of programs have great facilities and pump tons of money into their program. Louisville is in the ACC now, we can't just get a couple of good recruits and win 10 games. To win in the ACC you need depth, talent and speed. So it will depend on the new staffs ability to repair damaged relationships and a damaged perception of the program in order to build recruiting inroads and build depth. If Louisville waits on Brohm and continues to give Petrino time to taint the brand and risks losing Brohm to a bigger, elite program then who knows the domino effect that would take.
My stance is this and this is purely my own analysis based on my own assumptions but: I have little doubt that Brohm would improve recruiting on every level and ESPECIALLY locally and I think he would do it instantly. Petrino's descent has been going on for years now and while his buyout is massive I think you take advantage of this perfect timing with Brohm and pay the buyout now instead of risking a further program slide. I have no doubt in my mind that ULs brand, talent and recruiting would instantly improve and ticket sales would skyrocket if Brohm were hired. So to me its a bigger risk to hold on to Petrino than it is to fire him. If UL goes into next season with Petrino as its coach I would wager you would have the lowest ticket sales in a season since Kragthorpe.
Some reasonable points here, but please explain how having the patience to give the second winningest coach in program history a chance to recover from one bad season “taints the brand”?
You’re starting with a whole lot of assumptions about Petrino that you’re not stating here if you think having Bobby Petrino as coach of your football program “taints” it.
