I guess Louisville will have to get rid of #1 and #2 with Bobby Petrino as coach.
The Firing
If I'm recruiting against Louisville I would make sure the candidate and the candidates family are aware of this video.
If they choose Petrino over Shafer then they deserve the guidance their children will then be given by this individual.
Question to those of you with children, who would you choose for your child's mentor and role model?
Jurich is no dummy. He knew that those other candidates would/could be good head coaches but not sure they were all totally excited about it or was concerned that UofL would again be a stepping, which Jurich is against. Plus Jurich wants the program to continue at a high level and improve which Petrino will deliver, and hiring an OC or DC may cause a temporary drop going into the ACC. With Petrino, he knows the program, he's a great offensive coach which caters to Louisville's strength, and it will make players excited (parents, don't know). Jurich surely did his homework and will ensure Petrino knows strictly the do's and don'ts.When I heard it last night I felt bad for Louisville, but I wish them well as long as its not at Syracuse expense. I am shocked though that Jurich hired Petrino over Colorado State coach Jim McElwain, Michigan State defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi, Clemson offensive coordinator Chad Morris. Those 3 would have been good hires, and Petrino better promise Jurich he won't leave Louisville for the SEC.
Welcome! Don't be a stranger.Your logic is sound but as sleazy as the guy is he wins games and we (The ACC) need high profile coaches who have proven at just about every stop he can win. His offensive schemes will be fun to watch and the ACC (specifically the Atlantic Division) needs strong teams in order to ensure the strength of schedule is as attractive as possible. Agree with you that I'd rather not have my son play for the man but if I am 18 and a 4* QB making most likely what will be the biggest decision of my life (at that time) then I go with Petrino all day…
Did not mean for this subject to be my first post on your board BTW.
Long time Clemson fan (attended The Citadel for military reasons) who was excited about the addition of the ‘Cuse joining the ACC. I have not been on your board much since our meeting but have found the majority of the discussions to fairly engaging as well as your subscribers to be knowledgeable about not only your program but College Football in general. It’s been enjoyable to see the excitement most of the subscribers have had in becoming part of the ACC and I hope the relationship proves to be mutually beneficial for both the ACC and the Syracuse program.
I trust most would not have an issue from me dropping by from time to time to engage in some educated discussions regarding your football program as I have an interest in our cousins from up North. Hated I missed the chance to visit your fair city this past year for the game but for those of you who plan on making the trip down to the Valley later this year I wish you safe travels and believe yall will enjoy the hospitality.
I would wish you good luck with your basketball season but doubt yall need much of it. As for me and most of the Tiger family we’re already counting down the days till Spring practice starts ;-)
Cheers

Question to those of you with children, who would you choose for your child's mentor and role model?
Neither. I wouldn't want my children's mentor or role model being a college football coach. That's silly, honestly. If my kid's primary mentor and role model isn't my wife and I then we've failed pretty spectacularly as parents.
Question... when I went to college I did not choose a school based on which adult male there would develop me into a man or shape my character. I'm pretty sure my parents expected me to develop myself given the opportunity they were providing. Why do we attach such importance to a college athlete needing to be "developed" by their head coach? Seems like the other 99% of students on campus get by just fine without said "development".
I heard it was a $10 million buyout if he leaves before four years are up.Hopefully, Jurich included a huge buyout clause.
Not talking the primary role model of course for many of these athletes. Responsible parents, if one is lucky enough to have two or in other cases where there is one who is highly responsible is always ideal. In my case I had one parent, my mother. My male coaches were very important in shaping me. I was very lucky to have a great coach who made life lessons more important than athletic lessons. He was also a great a great character builder. A person who followed up with his players through the years. We never wanted to let him down. In the case of athletes that are going to be at an institution for 5 years their coach is going to have a lot to do with shaping them as men. Just look at the back stories of so many of our football players. Shamarko Thomas, Jay Bromley, Terrel Hunt, John Raymon and so many others. Their support system at SU is going to be a tremendous part of their lives and impact who they become more so than a kid from a "normal family."Neither.

Petrino has 85 kids there to win ACC football games. That's it, that's the whole story.
Coaches recruit over kids, tell them to leave the school, lie to the media and take the next best job all the time, etc etc every day.
