Louisville Athletic Director Vince Tyra made his first public comments on the future of football coach Bobby Petrino on Thursday, and they seem to have a rather unpropitious undertone.
“Most times in the past- you get the dreaded vote of confidence from the athletic director,” said the Athletic’s Matt Fortuna on The Drive with Mark Ennis, speaking about his experience interviewing athletic directors under similar circumstances. “Vince took a more rational approach by saying ‘we will evaluate at the end of the season.'”
In speaking with Fortuna, Tyra was very up front and open, stating clearly that nobody expected Louisville’s situation to be this dire this quickly, but that they were going to handle it when the timing is right.
