Bobby Petrino fired as Louisville coach
Louisville has fired coach Bobby Petrino as the Cardinals have stumbled to a 2-8 record this season, a source confirmed to ESPN.
Petrino is owed a $14.1 million buyout by the university that will be paid out over the next few years, the source said.
Louisville's season has bottomed out during a seven-game losing streak, with the past two weeks featuring blowout losses to Clemson and Syracuse.
Yahoo Sports first reported that Petrino had been dismissed.
