This is a bad deal for Louisville EVER to have given Petrino precisely because Petrino was fired with-cause for getting into a motorcycle accident with his girlfriend-on-the-side at his previous job at the University of Arkansas. How did a coach, who essentially had nowhere else to go but the school he previously coached at and had a history with, EVER get that kind of buyout in his deal? I guess he can afford a few more motorcycles now.
If I remember right Petrino was given an extension by Louisville when he was winning games with Lamar Jackson as QB. Once Lamar left for the NFL the house of cars collapsed.
...and a few more girlfriends on the side.
