Paul Vincent Petrino (born May 25, 1967) is an American college football coach, currently the head coach at the University of Idaho in Moscow.
Early life
Petrino grew up in Helena and graduated from Capital High School, graduating from it. Petrino was recruited by the University of Montana in Missoula, Missoula, and attended Carroll College. He played quarterback for the Fighting Saints, where his father, Bob Petrino Sr., was the head coach from 1971 to 1998. Both are members of Carroll's athletic hall of fame.
Personal life
Petrino is the younger brother of former Louisville head coach Bobby Petrino, who died six years ago; both were quarterbacks at Carroll. Bobby was the offensive coordinator when Paul was a player. The brothers have served on coaching teams such as Louisville, the Atlanta Falcons, and Arkansas. Mason Petrino, his son, played quarterback for Idaho and began playing in games from 2017 to 2019.
Coaching career
Petrino began teaching at Carroll right after graduation. He served as an assistant coach, wide receiver coach, and offensive coordinator at several other universities over the next 20 years, including a brief stint with the Atlanta Falcons of the National Football League in 2007. Petrino was a finalist for the Broyles Award, which is given annually to the country's best college football assistant coach.
Petrino took over as the head coach at Idaho in December 2012, where he had served in the early 1990s under John L. Smith. Jeff Long, the Arkansas athletic director, praised Petrino, saying he might have named Petrino the interim Arkansas head coach if not for his brother Bobby's departure due to a scandal. Petrino was named Sun Belt Coach of the Year after transforming the Vandals from 4–8 to 8–4, a new record. In Boise's Most Popular Idaho Potato Bowl, the season was ended with a ninth victory. Idaho returned to the Big Sky Conference in FCS in 2018 after more than two decades in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS).
Petrino's record at Idaho was 34-66 (.340), the most by a head coach in program history. Skip Stahley, 22, 521–1 (.304) in eight seasons (1954–61), died in 2019. Robb Akey, 20-52 (.286) in six seasons (2007–2012), was third on the list, with no one coaching the final four games of 2012; fourth is Tom Cable, 11–35 (.239) in four seasons (2000–03).
Petrino joined South Alabama as an offensive analyst before joining Jim McElwain's staff in Central Michigan as the offensive coordinator following his dismissal in Idaho.
