“Coach Petrino… I mean, he accepted this opportunity with the understanding that he also wanted an opportunity to formally be a candidate for our head coaching position, and he will have that opportunity,” Yurachek explained. “But we’ll also subsequently run a search for our next head coach at that same time. And I’ve got a little bit longer runway to do that and do my due diligence and do some really good research.”

“You learn something from every coaching search. They all take on a life of their own,” the AD continued. “We’ll find a really good candidate, whether that’s Coach Petrino or someone else.”
