Petrino getting bum’s rush as expectations continue to fall

Bobby Petrino is not going to be fired this week or next. Still hard to believe people are already calling for his head.

Petrino’s immediate dismissal is what a sizeable segment of University of Louisville fans is clamoring for, as if an early dismissal would somehow make the season turn out better. Local sports talk radio jocks, seemingly unaware of his accomplishments, are stirring up the fan base, some of them advocating replacements for Petrino.

Many just want him gone, as soon as possible. Never mind that there’s no one on Petrino’s staff remotely qualified to be head football coach, not even on an interim basis.
