No worries he will never return to the University of Louisville. Not in anyone’s wildest dreams. His or ours.
But Bobby Petrino is back, back in the college football coaching ranks. Took the job at Missouri State University last year, a program that had one win in 11 games the previous season. Losing seasons in 21 of the last 30 seasons.
His contract at Missouri State is for $250,000 annually over five years, a far cry from the $3.9 million per year he was receiving from UofL. He was fired before the end of the 2018 season, leaving with seven straight losses and a 2-8 won-lost record.
