Bobby Petrino is going to remain the coach of the Louisville Cardinals. Word came out of Kentucky that Petrino and the Cardinals have agreed to a whopping ten year contract. According to sources, the contract will be worth about $1.6 million to Petrino. He also has the ability to earn bonus money. The contract also includes a nice pay raise if he makes it to the last couple years of the contract.

This is good news for the Louisville Cardinals. They had a winning season last year and they went to the Gator Bowl. Petrino has a very respectable 29-8 record with the team. The Cardinals really wanted to lock him up. They even put penalties in the contract should he decide to leave for another Division I team or the NFL.

This is the deal and life Petrino wanted. After the singing, he said, “I can’t tell you how happy I am with the commitment and the confidence that Tom Jurich has in me and the university has in me. I also wanted to make sure that everyone understood, I know I’ve said it, that this is where my family wants to be. This is where I want to be. I want everyone to really believe it.”
