Petrino was a great hire for WKU. Everyone, including WKU, knew he wasn't going there to retire. At best they might keep him for two seasons before he moved back into a major program. They could look past his moral and ethical record and get a great coach who could elevate their program. Whether he accomplished that, I have no idea, but it seems like he generated a lot of interest in WKU and probably helped their fanbase.

But Louisville hiring him... well, it's bold. I think it's a mistake. Louisville is a pretty decent program and Strong proved that you don't have to be Petrino to win there. I think they should have taken a chance on hiring a great coordinator with head coaching potential, like they did with Strong.

Hiring Petrino is like marrying the chick that dumped you for a 'better' guy, left that guy for another guy, then got caught cheating on THAT guy and had to move in with a truck stop cashier. After a year of that, she comes crawling back to you. Sure, she's still hot and good in bed, but she's a pretty gross person and she's got a lot of baggage. Probably STDs too. In conclusion, Petrino totally has herpes.

Agreed. Bold move, and dice roll for a program at a point where it really doesn't have to roll the dice, which makes it that more puzzling. Why not an up-and-comer like Hudspeth or a great coordinator like Narduzzi like they did when they got Strong?

Probably the best summation of this situation.
