re: Arkansas is not hiring bobby petrino

You have to fire a man not smart enough to come up with a plausible lie in that scenario.

Should have been as easy as "we work together,and we're friends. She'd never been on a motorcycle before so I gave her a ride."

Nobody has to truly believe it. It just needs to be plausible enough for the folks who matter to pretend to believe it.

Presumably he's older, wiser, and a better liar now. Give him his money and win some games.
