For a while now, many posters have maintained that Bobby Petrino is, to put it bluntly, a scumbag. There was jetgate, the way he left Louisville, the way he left the Falcons, and his generally undesirable conduct along the way, e.g. the manner in which he handled the loss to LSU last year. This latest faux pas does nothing more than reaffirm that he lacks moral fiber, integrity, and character. Yes, he is a good offensive coach. Yes, he has elevated the level of success for the Hawgs. But whether Arkansas decides to fire Petrino has absolutely nothing to do with whether Petrino is a class A jerk, and everything to do with the integrity of the institution. Petrino has proven his lack of character time and time again. Now Arkansas, as an institution has an opportunity to show its mettle. It can fire Petrino, sending a clear message that such conduct will not be tolerated or it can send an even clearer message that moral character is not important for the head coach as long as he is winning.

great coach, arguably the biggest arse hole in the sport.

probably the worst "person" to coach an NFL franchise in history.

And winning, is more important to me than anything. I'd take him at Tennessee in a heartbeat.

Petrino must've sucked at hide & go seek as a kid. Every damn thing he does, wrong, he gets caught at. POS needs to go, he's showing real clear signs of "untouchable syndrome" & is getting a little too big for his britches.

It would be nice to see army have a backbone and fire him, but the world we live in only cares about the end result. Not how or what you did to get there. I fully expect to see this jack arse flipping birds on the sidelines and breaking up marriages during halftime next year.

Your thread is reading like a "Save Bobby" Rally.

Actually, that's what I like about the dude. Compared to him, I come off as a fairly decent human being.

Hmmm...I guess the proverbial "read more, post less" adage is needed here...

What did Petrino do? I've been on this board for 5 days straight and I haven't seen anything mentioned about him.

Ark made the moral character decision when they hired him. They were apart of how he left Atl and knew his history as well as who he is as a person. There were no surprises here. This is what Arky wants. As long as he keeps winning, does not get caught with a dead girl or a young boy he keeps his job.

Let it go. This is who Arky wants.
