Petrino - not riding solo (and fired at Louisville)

They should hire Sean Payton for a year. Hear he won't be busy.

 

It is if you can manage a deep knee bend.

 

I would go after someone not under contract that would have to leave their school high and dry. Mike Bellotti would be my choice. A proven coach with a good track record.

 

Long said the search starts now but he would be willing to wait until after the season to get the right guy.

That means Johnson will remain the interim thru the season. No way they're going to limit their pool of candidates by trying to hire somebody now.

 

Petrino will land on his feet in a year or two, someplace.

Raise your hand if you believe this:

 

I wonder how many p.r. people helped him write that.

 

I don't know, but this is very, very odd phrasing. Almost as if he wrote this part for his wife's benefit:

wtf? If the end of the relationship came before the accident, then what the hell was she doing on the back of the bike?
