Question: Do you think Louisville fans are glad Strong left so that they could get Petrino back?

that's a resounding NO!!! but i havent heard as much complaining over strong leaving as i thought i would...

A couple of interesting notes:

- Due to his buyout, WKU will effectively make money off of Petrino's one year. His salary of $850,000 is less than the $1.2 million buyout coming their way.

- WKU had a clause in his contract where he must make every effort to schedule a home-and-home to take place within 12 years of his leaving. So basically, WKU will get a home game vs. an ACC opponent due to a clever contract. WKU has been able to play home basketball games vs. Georgia and South Carolina in the past due to these types of clauses.

Incredibly smart contracting by Western Kentucky. Their program benefits from having the big name there for a season and they are able to transition to a good coach who was intimately involved in recruiting and will bring stability.

Wow. Louisville did not just poach one 2014 C-USA head coach, they sent UAB looking too. Garrick McGee agreed to be petrinos OC at UL... I guess it might be fair to say though, that this is rather him fleeing and that it means UAB doesn't have to scrounge to find the 2 cents it would have needeed but not have had to buy him out.

Definitely. The Western Kentucky AD made out like a Bandit on the Petrino deal. That is particularly impressive, as all other places he ever was at were left hurting quite badly in the end.

And Penn State hires the coach at Vandy (Franklin) who had the rapes occur under his watch... life goes on I guess...

It's a proud tradition. Gotta make sure the coach adheres to the institution's core values.

Louisville's head basketball coach has had similar problems. Screwed a woman in back of a restaurant while an assistant coach stood guard. If memory serves,assistant coach later marries her,messy divorce,sues head coach, public apology,etc.I have slept since this happened, but you get the general idea.

      My non UNT co worker that has no interest in football just sent me this reel. It’s a very cool story! I hope he sticks around and pushes Poffenbager. Iron sharpens iron.

      So it’s Jared right? He can make it happen. Meaning he has the power to assemble Talons, Maniacs and Green Brigade Leadership this month to plan for the creation and execution of the DATCU Energy Experience this fall. I would think our band would learn from other bands that out excite them. But they don’t. They don’t copy them, try offshoot efforts of them…I see nuances which can be cool but I’m talking about a full in game production transformation. Which needs to include: Pregame March. Pregame field sets. Stand music sets. Chant alignment at the quarters and kickoff. Big 3rd quarter close. There is power in numbers and their efforts could ignite the alumni side. We need coordinated chants like TSU’s eat em up eat em up go cats go or something like that. I also miss Fky Like An Eagle Go Green Go White… We used to have an awesome 3rd down Green Brigade set always played at the right time and only on that down. I’m not meaning to come down on the GB because this is a leadership focus. But the time is now. Season is over. All amazing performances have terrifically designed practices, rituals and coordinated forces behind them. Jared may even consider a Fan Council to help with idea generation, program research, connection support…give council members a 2 year term and they collaborate monthly with feedback to the athletic board regularly. That would be 6-7 Council meetings to spawn community, dormant alumni, and student engagement before opening day. Let’s get some things going then we can talk about that cool Rangerette type crew for the stands down the line. See TSU, Alabama, Auburn most programs in the SEC. First things first. GMG
