Bears football fans meet Petrino and his coaching staff


Petrino: It was great, it was great to see so many people come out to a luncheon, get to hear me talk, hear my coaches talk. I think that was the best thing; to be able to get our assistant coaches up there, so the fans can get to know their personalities and how they go about their business.

Appleby: I just got into town, just got around campus and this community. This was an unbelievable event. The support was amazing.

And for fans like George Boyd who’s been cheering on the Bears since the 80s, this gave him a chance to ask Petrino questions directly.

George: I wanted to see the background of what he was going to let his players study from other teams, because those are all important when you’re trying to have a winning program.

Petrino answered questions from x’s and o’s to team morale, and by the end of the luncheon, the buzz was definitely a little louder.

George: I think maybe with the staff he’s put around him and the knowledge and background, he’d be a really positive thing for the football program.”

Petrino: I’m looking forward to getting our team put together and seeing what we can do.
