Lombardi: "CU very interested in Bobby Petrino"

More in the middle, if the rumors are accurate.
Damn, I hope not. Look at his face. I'm sure there are worse things, maybe even a lot of them, but thinking about road rash on my dick is making me squirm.

Every contract includes that language. Firing Petrino is the least of Arkansas' worries. All those people who applied for the job that his mistress got probably have pretty good claims against Arky (and there were 100+ applicants). THAT is the civil liability I'm talking about.
Whatever you're into, I guess.
True but where does that leave CU when he ****s up?
Whatever state he leaves it in it would undoubtedly be in much better shape than it is now.

Kentucky and Arkansas respectively.... :smile2:
Petrino is a great coach. And he doesn't have NCAA baggage. Those are things Bohn could sell. But I'm afraid "the scandal" is still a bit too recent to be able to sell anybody with a sex scandal in their recent past to the powers that be in Boulder.....
Is that something a "don't make an ass of yourself or termination without buyout" clause can't handle?
Well said and I have been thinking this all along. Bohn has been the master of keeping things quite on big issues. PAC move. Firing Embree. My guess is there is a name we have not considered heavily that is the one he is after. Not saying we do not have a profile on the next coach, but it would not be out of the question if he surprises us all with this hire.
Yep that pussy better shoot sparks out your ass looking like that. Looks like he got a mafia beat down.

1) Are they blonde?
2) Do they like motorcycles?
Probably. It's a problem before he ever gets there, let alone before he does anything wrong. The press would run with it as an excuse to dredge up 2002 again, not to mention the sharks that are already out for the blood of whoever replaces Embree. It can easily turn into a round of bad PR CU doesn't need.
Not saying I'm against it just because of that, but you know it has to figure into Bohn's thinking....

Petrino can simply be barred from making those hires. The man made a mistake and deserves a second chance. Bohn is the one who will not have another chance if the next coach fails. Might as well shoot for the stars if I was Bohn.
We need to push the evenlope here.

If he wanted to get back at him, it wouldn't a direct quote. He'd give him the scoop off the record, Ringo would report it with a "sources close to the situation" tag, and then Bohn would drop the hammer. Regardless, that's not what happened, and I doubt Mike would be playing those games right now.
I respect you man but one mistake? He left a memo for grown men that get paid to play. You can have him man, makes him a punk in my eyes.

I never said he shouldn't get a second chance. I just don't see it happening at CU.
There are a lot of jobs out there. He can go rehab his image at one of the smaller schools, and work his way back up the ranks, much like Water Bottle can go do - if he so chooses.
Um, ok...
Are you looking for a 20 year guy? That was Neu, Hawkins, and Embree. One ran away, and the other two sucked. Coaches dont seem to stay anywhere for longer than 5-10 years anymore. They usually get fired or they find a new home. The only guys that have hung around that I can think of is Stoops, The guy at TCU, and who? And would leaving us 'high and dry' be any higher and dryer than we are right now? Probably not.
This is mentality of hearts and minds that we need to change.
Married man is limited to who is interested in him. You cant really go shopping. There is no way that could not have not ended badly for him. The question is when did the consummate the relationship; before or after he got her the job?
Nothing. Remeber Vance Joseph?

Lol.....
So when Ringo (or Krieger) mention some scoop, do they name their sources? Yeah, didn't think so..
Does it matter? If you haven't got enough trim, don't get married. Pretty simple to me. I can't really get around this as a dad. HC's are leaders of young men, is this who you want?
My answer is no but I would support their call if they go that route.

@DaveKrieger Apparently you have to be a newspaper writer to be a journalist. According to an NCAA source who lives on earth...there ya go Mr. Ombudsman

Everyone will have their opinion about Petrino but suppose Petrino is actually hired at CU, would that keep everyone off of Benson and DiStephenso's backs for awhile about whether they were serious about football or not?
Will the hiring of a mid-major head coach send a signal that CU is serious about football even if it includes facilities?
