Athletic director Tom Jurich was waiting for him, welcoming the prodigal play caller with a generous contract (seven years, $3.5 million per) and an appropriately huge buyout ($10 million over the first four years, then decreasing from there).
I said from the get go it woud be stout, he won't be going anywhere for 4 years, probably 6 or 7 and he'll be looking at 60 dead on. He said "make it $100 million, if you want to"....honey I'm home! ;)

Bobby Petrino vows he's a changed man and a better coach. He also promises he's at Louisville to stay.
