I'm stunned.....STUNNED!!

Paul reminding everyone that he and Bobby share the same DNA.

I'm guessing Paul is just irritated that he is forced to deal with media that aren't a bunch of cowards like he's witnessed cover his brother in Louisville.

Interesting but your premise is flawed. This is about PAUL Petrino, not Bobby. Maybe Bobby used to be that guy but he wouldn't be here right now if he still were. Tom made sure of that. We didn't like the old Bobby but we do like the new one. He's done nothing to warrant any backlash in his second tenure here. You don't see articles like this about Bobby do you? That's for good reason.

Yeah, he changed his spots almost overnight, hard for UL fans to even remember him walking out on them and the mess he left behind------or how he left Atlanta or Arkansas. But then he shouldn't have left Arkansas, he should have stayed there in jail like you or I would have.

And you are right about good old Tom, we all know that jurich controls everything in Louisville-----didn't they use to have a University there, sure haven't heard much about that lately..

People like Bobby Petrino don't change overnight. Besides, the damage has been done. He's acting and UL fans are buying his shtick. He was an ass years ago, he's an ass today, and he'll be an ass tomorrow.

So you hated the old Bobby so much you prayed to get him back?? Has the man not displayed time and time again that nothing has changed? Has he stopped recruiting the same punks that don't belong within a 20 mile radius of an academic institution? Has he ever shown an ounce of loyalty in his lifetime? He isn't even loyal to his wife and children why would he be to Petjurino and Tommy Turtleneck? The man lacks a soul and that is the personality that your team will have when he's done with them

LOL, this petjurino joker is pathetic. He always shows up with his "Tom" talk and how "Tom" has really convinced Bobby P to be a changed man. Hilarious.

He's more than likely a satire account. Very convincing though.
 
Good for that writer/editor. Paul needs to be called out for such poor behavior. Sounds like PPetrino needs to deal with some demons.
 
The ol scorpion and the frog, people don't charge that late in life.. They are who they are, and he will expose himself in time, just sit back and watch.

You are on a collision course with reality. Petrino is the slut of college football. Be sure to return here on November 29 so we can chat again.

Yeah, I have friends that work in the service industry around UL's campus and Bobby frequents their establishments. Apparently, Bobby is still the same old anti-social, grumpy A-hole that he's always been...and a crappy tipper to boot! Keep telling yourself he's a changed man...just don't be surprised when he leaves in the middle of the night, or gets caught with another coed...the funniest part may be that you think Juritch guided him to a higher moral ground. The only way Juritch gets anybody to do anything is by making them offers they can't refuse! You better hope he's got plenty of dirt on O'l Bobby if you want to keep him around. I'm surprised Charlie didn't wake up with a horse head in his bed when rumors about Texas started surfacing! You better hope he's got plenty of dirt on O'l Bobby if you want to keep him around.

ok, so he wouldn't be there if he was like the old bobby? wasn't he coaching wku with a contract that went on til 2018 when he took the ul job? so he ended up at ul by skipping out on his word at the drop of hat? he also just cut a kid loose a few days before nsd last year... you're not even a good pretend ul fan. just stop it.

How has he not been banned yet? Thats what i dont understand. Such an obvious troll.
 
JMO but if he is trying to outdo Bobby he has a long way to go yet. I don't think he has even done anything he should go to jail for yet-----of course I don't know that much about him.

First of all, it's quite a stretch to think Tom would threaten Charlie or any other coach. He's always said, he doesn't want a coach that doesn't want to be here. That's why he doesn't believe in buyouts. If you want out, he doesn't want you here. Simple as that.

Secondly, I think Tom was hurt but yet relieved that Charlie left. I appreciate what Charlie did here and he did some big things but he isn't half the coach Bobby is. I honestly think Tom talked Charlie into staying one more year when he flirted with Tenn. because he knew he could get Bobby back the next year. Face it, you all know Bobby is an upgrade in coaches over Charlie. I love Charlie but he made some boneheaded decisions as a head coach. Bobby is probably the best offensive mind in college football and the addition of one of the best defensive minds in Todd are setting up for a lethal combination.

So to get back to your point, I doubt Tom was upset when Charlie left. He knew it was coming and he had Bobby waiting to take over.
 
And I was wrong, Louisville got $4,375,000 from Texas for Charlie's buyout. I see better than I hear in this case and this Tom Jurich fanboy lives in an alternate reality.

This is one well informed, highly intelligent poster right here.

No doubt TJ is the scumdation of the UL Athletic department, but he is not stupid as to not have buyouts.

funny thing is, i remember ul fans making fun of us for not getting a buyout. because if he was successful he was gonna leave and then you get nothing for it. seems like they just don't trust their coaches word that he's here for X amount of years. sure stoops would probably leave if offered the osu job but i dont think he'll be slinking off to cincy to meet with boosters of just some "better" school. bobby on the other hand.... he has a $10million buyout because you have to buy his loyalty... they put academic stuff in his contract that are unheard of. yes every school does a gpa bonus or graduation rate but not every school does bonuses for kids going to class and tutoring sessions... thats a given to get grades... but not with bobby. you have to buy the semblance of caring about grades.

can't fault charlie for leaving for texas. that is top tier program. the difference is charlie wasn't shopping himself out like a prostitute at the bunny ranch. without the huge buyout for petrino, he'd be hiking up that mini skirt after the first 10 win season and deep down every ul fan knows it.

A simplistic and misleading point of view. By your standards, Bobby Collins and Terry Bowden were great football coaches. Winning matters a lot. Winning is the ultimate goal, as long as rules are followed, school reputations benefit, and young athletes have strong role models. Unlike you, I don't think it is time to close the book yet on Bobby Petrino's reputation or career. He certainly has a good offensive mind and a competitive nature. No debate there. Can he recruit at this level? Can he manage a successful ACC program for a significant period of time? Can he avoid the poor personal judgment and immature mistakes he has made in the past? These things are unknown. Whatever you might say about Petrino up to this point, these questions will determine whether he succeeds or fails in Louisville. I fully expect Stoops to own Petrino, just like Calipari owns Pitino, before the players on our current football roster have graduated. Given your obvious worship of Petrino, I take it that you disagree. Because if you agree that Stoops will build a better program than Petrino, that would be inconsistent with your belief in Petrino's superiority.

I think this traps Bobby, but I also think it interesting that Jurich thought a better program would come for Bobby. Or, was this just a PR move for the UL fans?

Not sure how a Paul Petrino thread changed to a Bobby thread. All I can say about Paul is at UL is was well know that he was a hot head. If you ever went to practice you saw it. There is a reason that he had a hard time getting a HC job.

Jurich is not a big fan of large buyouts either but in some cases you need them. In the case of Strong he was in demand every year and the large buyout was to reduce the field of schools looking at him. The buyout out was 5 mil but dropped to 4.375 after January 1 and the bowl game was played. Had he left before the Bowl like most coaches do the buyout would have been 5 mil. This buyout was the largest every paid by a university for another schools coach.

That brings us to Bobby. With a 10 mil buyout and even the reduced buyout to 7 mil in 2018 there is no chance he will be leaving. Only the NFL can spend that kind of money and Bobby has burned his NFL bridge.
Because of Petrino's past he needed the buyout so assure recruits he is not leaving. As for the WKU deal everybody knew Bobby was leaving in 1-2 years. WKU set the contract to adjust for this. After the buyout WKU got Petrino pretty much for free and he left most of his staff in place at WKU. I am not going to say Bobby is a nice guy but I do believe he will be the UL coach for quite awhile and he has softened at bit this time. His family has put down roots in Louisville even before he came back and he is getting older. UL can give him what he needs to win now that they are in the ACC. Strength of schedule is good without being the SEC West meat grinder he had at Ark.
With Auburn, Bama, ND and a improved UK on the out of conference schedule things look great. You guys love to post about academics but in his first year the ARP was very strong for football and Bobby qualified for all his contacts incentives on the ARP. Guess we will see down the road but UL has much higher academic standards than when he was here before.

At UK there is no chance in hell any school is going to make a run at Cal at 8 mil per season and Cal would never agree to a buyout anyway. He may or may not go to the NBA but he uses the NBA talk for big raises.

As for Stoops in my mind UK should have set up a buyout with the last contract. He seems like a loyal guy but if he starts winning like you guys expect he will be in demand. If football power schools start calling it might be hard for him to stay. Then again maybe is the type that will stay.

The above highlight is a huge contradiction. Again, I see better than I hear. Jurich doesn't believe in buyouts yet uses them. Typical Jurich speak about the high road or doing things the right way. Express your beliefs and ideals, then throw them out as soon as they're not useful.

But looking at it from UK's point of view, to date, have we ever had anyone leave Kentucky for a better job in basketball? And besides Morriss, who I think Mitch didn't want him to stay anyways, either has the football program.

The reason for that is pretty simple, there isn't a better job in basketball as long as the greedy few don't get us on probation. And Cal doesn't need to cheat at UK to get great talent, he would be dumb to cheat. Plus, besides all the false stories, he hasn't been in trouble with the NCAA before.
