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?
Or maybe you really do believe in putting the program and its honorability above the coach and this recent act is just one too many examples of Petrino's poor character?
This is an about face of sorts. Its not like Petrino just became a douchebag a couple days ago. I remember when he was acting like a jackass on national tv, yelling frick you across the field and most of you guys thought that was awesome. Or the post-it note departure that y'all tirelessly defended as being a necessary and justified act. Not to mention the scheming he did to throw his former mentor under the bus and take his place at Auburn where he was portrayed as being merely an ambitious person.
So he cheated on his wife with another university employee and then lied about it. Is it just too much now?

The fact that she was hired four days ago and all the other douchebag things he's done?
Yes, it's enough.
He needs to channel his inner Bill Clinton if he wants to be retained.

pretty much i guess - in his defense I think most good coaches are douchebags so I can't really rag on Arky for being fond of theirs

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.

This^
As irrational as the hog fans usually are I'm extremely surprised how they're taking this.

I must say that I'm astonished that you're asking.
Do you actually believe or expect that the opinions of anyone other than those who are closest to the situation, having the most information needed in order to make an informed and accurate assessment/decision re: Petrino's character, situation, and future will have much impact on the situation?
If not, then what the frick does it matter what you, I, or anyone else, besides the ones who can make a real decision making impact on the situation, thinks?

Uhhh...not quite. He hired a woman that he was screwing around with to a university job and then promoted her after said affair. Gets people fired and institutions sued all the time. Just wait until Dorrell says that Petrino made her hiring/promotion contingent upon screwing him.
