A native of Butte, Montana, Petrino graduated from Butte Central Catholic High School in 1955. He then attended Western Montana College—now known as University of Montana Western—in Dillon, Montana, where played college football as a halfback, before graduating with bachelor's degree in physical education in 1959. Petrino began his coaching career at Grass Range High School in Grass Range, Montana, where as head football coach he led his team to two district championships in three years.[1]
