25 college football coaches you want to party with
By Brad Weiss
3. Bobby Petrino
Is there any coach in the country that parties like Bobby Petrino? Well, before 2012, you may have said yes. But after his mix-up with a secretary and his motorcycle, the head coach was viewed very differently.
A former quarterback, Petrino has had quite a roller coaster of a coaching career. After turning the Louisville Cardinals to a national power in only four years, Petrino made the jump to the NFL. He was signed by the Atlanta Falcons because they wanted him to develop their young quarterback, Michael Vick. However, Vick got involved in a dogfighting ring, and the rest is history. Petrino resigned by posting a laminated sign in the player’s locker room, which was widely viewed as cowardly.
Petrino left the Falcons for the University of Arkansas, and that’s where his story gets really dicey. After the incident with the girl and the motorcycle, Petrino was eventually fired from the University. After a quick stint at Western Kentucky, Petrino was hired back at Louisville, where he is once again making them a title contender.
Petrino has fixed his reputation, and it appears he has made right by his family. Partying with him may get a little out of hand at times, but he definitely someone who enjoys a good time. Sign us up.
