Care to give facts to support your assertion? Seems like a lot of people disagree with you given that they hired him back. Also seems like they were right as he quickly produced a national title contender

you assert that you live in the Louisville area like you have local info to support your claim, and then refer to national crap? (which you could write similar "I'm not going anywhere" crap about many successful coaches). You were misleading and essentially dishonest. Very shady.
After 12 years with a personality like Les Miles, I don't think a complete 180 to one of the biggest pricks to ever stand on a sideline would be a good move. Alabama can keep that smartass Kiffin too, beware of someone that has been blatantly fired twice.
I can confirm that a recruit was offered several thousand dollars in cash on a recruiting trip to Louisville if he would sign right then. I'm talking decent 5 figures.
You saw Petrino offer the cash? Was he fanning 100 dollar bills so you could estimate the amount? Did he fan the dough to cool off and tease the player? Did he playfully tap him on the forehead with the bills and tell him to smell the money? Or did you really just hear about some rogue booster offering money?
Trust me, if vball said it happened, it happened. If anything, she most likely knows A LOT more than she's disclosing.
I would say I'm shocked but I can't. You assert the idea that when it comes to the NCAA rules Petrino passes the test. When, he doesn't. Then, when offered another view—one based on what happened, not what is assumed—the script flips and you change the subject? What I find funny is you're throwing other coaches like Saban into this story when I'm referring to a commitment when Shula was still employed in Tuscaloosa. Hell, it's my opinion that I'd love to see Petrino in Baton Rouge. We wouldn't see a decent defense as long as he's employed. History proves such. . tiga, as I recall she and I discussed that recruiting class with Petrino on this forum. If not, it was on WeareSC ... maybe through PM's. Like her, I know it was a five figure payout and this guy committed to 'Ville.
if you can read story # 2 and still want him then you deserve what happens next. not so sure about the shady part....interesting you can see that in 1 post but you can't see a lifetime of stitbaggery with petrino
