Bobby Petrino out as Louisville football head coach

The Bobby Petrino era is over for the University of Louisville football team, according to a report from Yahoo’s Pat Forde. After going 6-21 over his last 27 games against power five teams, Petrino was relieved of his duties as head coach.

Rumors swirled on social media throughout the last month that Petrino was on thin ice, and after allowing more than 50 points in four out of his last five games, it appeared to be the final straw for Vince Tyra and the athletic board.

At the moment, it appears that Petrino is leaving the program without “cause,” but as the story develops, we may see more unfold as well.
