Petrino left Kragthorpe and Louisville in the same boat when he left for Atlanta
quote:
December 2008 Jurich, the Cardinals AD, on the ongoing process of cleaning up Petrino's Louisville mess:
Bobby went to areas where he thought he was strong recruiting and some of them panned out and some didn't. That's the nature of it. But listen, we had to clear out a lot of discipline issues. And our numbers suffered. We cleared 21 kids out of here, and that's a lot. That's a big hit for anybody to take, Eric. I don't know anyone that has. But we want to do things the right way.

I know this is the common thought. Petrino leaves a mess everywhere. Regarding Louisville, although I love Tom Jurich, remember that Kragthorpe was Tom's best man in his wedding. He was trying to take heat off his friend and coach. Any objective observer would have to admit that Kragthorpes 1st team had a TON of talent. He had a bunch of players on that team go on to play in the NFL. Even some that are still playing (Starting RT on Super Bowl champs this year). Eric Wood has started since the first day he got to the NFL and continues to. He had Brian Brohm stay for his senior year. He had a lot of talent on both sides of the ball. Year 2 is harder to defend, but Krags first year had a ton returning and was ranked in top 5 preseason. They struggled from day one on both sides of the ball and were lucky to get bowl eligible. I said it at the time. That wasn't on Petrino.
