Yesterday the new Arkansas coach defended his tenure at the University of Louisville while remaining mostly mum on the subject of his departure from the NFL's Atlanta Falcons.
During his meeting with print media, Petrino said he was aware of comments by current U of L coach Steve Kragthorpe about off-the-field problems he inherited when he took over for Petrino after the 2006 season.
Kragthorpe has dismissed seven players since arriving at U of L.
"We didn't have a discipline problem when I was there," Petrino said. "Knock on wood. You always knock on wood on that, but we had players that were real focused, did a great job, went 41-9, and I think they returned 21 starters off of that Orange Bowl team. So, you know, I felt good about the way we left the program and the shape that we left the University of Louisville in."
That simply proves the bottom line with him is winning at all cost, and teaching integrity and responsibility was unheard of. Turn a blind eye to everything else as long as you win.
Amazing. :shrug1:
