Even more LSU announced this weekend that it had fired head coach Les Miles, Louisville's early season success had opened the door for dozens of lazy "when will Bobby Petrino leave again" stories penned by national writers.
The Courier-Journal's Steve Jones recently caught up with a handful of friends, family members and former colleagues who are close to Petrino and got their thoughts on the job the Cardinal head coach has done this season, and what the future may hold for him. The most telling comments (at least from a U of L fan's perspective) came from Petrino's father.
