Changed Man By: Matthew Jones
Louisville 2006-2008 • Secretly interviewed for Auburn job • Atlanta Falcons 2007 (went 3-10) • Left team after 13 games • Arkansas 2008-2011 • Infamous mistress on motorcycle accident • WKU 2013 • 1 and done • Louisville (Again)
Louisville AD Tom Jurich • Tom Jurich, Louisville AD- “Do you have enough courage to look me in the eye and tell me you've changed? If you lie to me, I'll kill you.” • “He’s been through so much…” • “I didn’t know he had emotions to be honest with you….”
Andy Staples: SI • "This is a results-oriented business, and Bobby Petrino, more often than not, achieves the desired result. I didn't hire him to be a good husband or to tell the truth. I didn't hire him to graduate players or to mold men. I hired him to win football games. If he does that, he'll probably leave for a better job even though we wrote a $10 million buyout into his contract. If he doesn't do that, I'll fire him…”
It’s all about the W’s…or is it? • When you fire a coach after a 5-7 season…it’s about winning…right? • It doesn’t have to be about wins and losses. It should be about winning WITH integrity. • Stanford way vs. Louisville way
College Football Revenue • 120 mill- Value • 85 mill- Revenue • 62 mill- Profit
Staples, Andy. (2014, January 9). Louisville hires Bobby Petrino to win, not because he’s changed. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/ college-football/news/20140109/bobby- petrino-louisville-cardinals/
