Re: Petrino to WKU
I agree. WKU doesn't have anything to loose.

Re: Petrino to WKU
If Petrino does screw up, then WKU benefit by get $350,000 because of his contract.93henfan wrote:Good get if he had keep his dick in his pants.
He gets paid $850,000 for one year if he bolts for a bigger program. He is owed 1.2 million to WKU. What coach would ever agree to that deal? Petrino.

Re: Petrino to WKU
why would any non BCS school want to hire Petrino knowing he's bolting ASAP!?!

"Yes, well, Towson actually."

Re: Petrino to WKU
It's a no-lose for WKU the way they structured it. Look at the article Hillhound linked. If he leaves after a year, he pays WKU instead of vice versa.andy7171 wrote:why would any non BCS school want to hire Petrino knowing he's bolting ASAP!?!
I'm guessing he coaches 2 to 3 seasons.

Re: Petrino to WKU
He coaches 2-3 seasons and let's the stink of what happened at Arkansas die down a little and then jumps for a bigger (hopefully SEC) job. For WKU, it brings attention, recruits and he has a track record of success on the scoreboard. It could blow up in their faces but it could also really move them forward and they decided the risk was worth the potential reward. UNI brought in a high profile former BCS coach in 1988 and it didn't work out so well for them though, so buyer beware.93henfan wrote:It's a no-lose for WKU the way they structured it.

Re: Petrino to WKU
I hate to say it, but the best point here has been made by 93. I'd use different language, but he has the point right. A coach has NO business fooling around with the help. Heck, a coach with proper usage of his time has NO time for that trash anyway. I don't mind so much a guy who got caught violating a minor NCAA rule that has no business being there anyway (like getting a kid a plane ticket home to attend his grandma's funeral). But a coach who's chasing skirt instead of watching film isn't exactly the kind of guy I want running my program.

Re: Petrino to WKU
Why would any parent or recruit want to go to WKU when they know Petrino is gone at the first offer?

Re: Petrino to WKU
It's simple. The reward outweighs the risk. WKU, as a lower-tier FBS program needs to boost its profile and make itself more well-known. They can afford the risk. They don't fall too far even if he bolts.

Re: Petrino to WKU
Anyone shocked that they considers sex trash, and that a coach shouldn't have time for sex?SuperHornet wrote:I hate to say it, but the best point here has been made by 93.

Just checked out the volleyball team, not much to work with. Petrino will be OK at WKU.

Re: Petrino to WKU
Why would the VB team be an issue, TJ? I thought Petrino's problem was messing around with his secretary....tampajag wrote:Just checked out the volleyball team, not much to work with. Petrino will be OK at WKU.

Re: Petrino to WKU
Ah. That would do it, TJ. Everywhere I've been, of all the female athletic teams on campus, the hottest as a group has always been the VB team....
