re: Arkansas should let Petrino go and move on

I must say that I am astonished that so many hogs seem to be calling for Petrino to be let go. I don't know if you all are just resigning yourselves to the worst possible scenario so when it does not happen you will be pleasantly surprised or what?

In general, unless you are the VERY BEST at what you do (Petrino is very good, but definitely *not* the very best), then things like embarrassing your employer by lying to them, having them (without their knowledge) lie for you to the public, and hiring your little side-piece to a nice, cushy new job on your employers dime is nearly always fatal to your job prospects of working for an employer that is quite concerned about public reputation.

Hell, they may keep him... I don't know. But, if they do, they'd have had to make the calculation that the constant PR hits they'll get by keeping him will be less damaging than keeping a known scumbag like Petrino (and hawgies? he was a know scumbag when you hire him, by the way) on staff.
