The decision to fire football coach Bobby Petrina has been a largely debated topic because letting him go means the university must buy out his $14 million contract.

Freshman Paul Passaniki said Petrino had to go.

“I was excited but nervous. We had to let him go at some point this season. He was dragging the program down, but I wasn’t sure who we would have that could fill in to finish the season,” Passaniki said.
