BOBBY PETRINO
HOW THEY GOT HERE:
—Defeated the NCAA 64%-36% in the quarterfinals
RAP SHEET:
—Trying to repeat Steve Kragthorpe’s 2009 feat of winning the LCPT the summer after he was fired.
—Was fired on Nov. 11 in the middle of one of the worst Louisville football seasons of all-time. The Cardinals would finish the season 2-10 and become the first Power Five conference team ever to allow 50 or more points in five straight games.
—Stories since Petrino’s firing have revealed that his staff wasn’t making much of an effort to recruit locally and that Petrino’s players had little access to their head coach.
