After dropping his seventh straight game and amassing a 2-8 season thus far in the 2018 football season, Bobby Petrino has been let go as the Louisville Cardinals head football coach. He will not coach in the final two games.
After Charlie Strong left UofL for Texas, former athletic director Tom Jurich had to find a replacement quickly as the university was headed to the ACC. That meant an assistant or a young coach would be too risky for such a big jump. He needed someone with more experience.
Enter Bobby Petrino.
Petrino had just finished up his first and only year at Western Kentucky.
