from mr. 2nd chance himself...zippitydoda on the cards board:
Understood, and not to redirect the thread, but we all need to give the guy a (2nd) chance. First of all, he's a damn good football coach which is of course his job. His first time around here, he gave us nothing but great results on the field. And most U of L fans recognize that.
His off-the-field stuff is the issue, but it's one he's addressing. His family is intact and in Louisville at his side. He's obviously very visible in this community, and from all appearances, he's behaving like a boy scout. To be honest, if our AD and Petrino's wife can forgive him of his transgressions, who the hell are we to second-guess THEM?
The bottom line is that only time will tell. If ten years from now, he has a couple ACC championships and a clean nose, the decision to take back the prodigal son was a good one. One thing's for sure, he regards football and the ACC very seriously. And he also can be an asset to this conference if he does what he can do and needs to do...
I can't help but laugh because you know he was the first one throwing stones when he left UL high and dry and after his motorcycle fiasco. Guy is a mouthpiece
