Reality of Petrino

I keep reading posts of fans talking about some school hiring Bobby Petrino. Dont know if this is coming from students who have no clue or older rednecks with no clue.
There is such a thing as human resources and hiring policies even in the college football world.
No major college football program is going to hire BP with his baggage. The school would immediately be in trouble with its educational staff on many fronts...imagine a professor that is accused of having sexual misconduct with a student or a dept supervisor accused of sexual harrassment. The acccused's attorney or even the plantiff's attorneys, would have a field day with the advent of hiring Petrino.
I guess no one on this board majored in law? The school hiring Petrino would be putting themselves at great risks. As much of a shock it is...our schools do have to be an academia institution and even have classes and studies etc etc.
Please read this and stop throwing crap on the wall that wont stick...that is all.

Petrino will coach again...that's a fact. It's just a question of who will be dumb enough to hire him?

There was no sexual misconduct with a student. Dorrell was no longer in school during the time of their relationship. There was also no sexual harassment; their relationship was mutual.
Petrino cheated on his wife, gave a job to his mistress, and lied to the University about his relationship with Dorrell and the circumstances of his motorcycle crash. Legally speaking, Bobby showing favoritism to his love interest is hardly different than showing favoritism to his brother or son in giving them jobs.
What Bobby did was horribly unethical and stupid, but as far as legal risks to Arkansas or future legal risks to other Universities who hire him, I just don't see it.
I bet there will be a handful of decent to top schools that will give Petrino serious consideration b/c his ability to win may be good enough to outweigh his baggage. It's just up to each individual athletic director and school to determine how much baggage they're willing to carry in order to increase their odds of winning.

In the end BP was fired for lying to his superiors when asked about the controversial incident. Would he have been fired if he just came out with the truth from the get go? That is debatable, but either way it wouldn't have been too big a surprise.
Obviously a lack of integrity in character was known before he even got to Arkansas but this acknowledges a subject ever present in college (or otherwise) athletics. What are schools willing to give up (or deal with) to win and exactly how desperate are they for a successful program.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if BP ends up at name program this off-season.

Hiring someone as a subordinate where there is a pre-existing relationship is not sexual harassment

Is it routine for people who study law to get their facts wrong. Well in this case jr, it is.

Thanks for posting this reel_gator. I keep seeing people predicting Tennessee will go after Petrino. It's ridiculous.

lol OP is getting destroyed in here. Make sure you post your name so everybody knows never to hire you, assuming you are an actual lawyer (which you aren't).

If it was only true. This is the cut throat world of the SEC. Places with the "moral" standards of Auburn and Alabama (if they where looking) would hire Charles Manson if he could coach winning football.

Thank you sir. It seems many fail to understand how sexual harrassment law works. It doesn't matter that his mistress wasn't a student, it doesn't matter than she was a 'willing participant', all that matters is that he was in a place of authoritiy and power.

Bill Clinton lied to a federal grand jury about having sexual relations with an intern in his office. Nothing happened to him other than a slap on the wrist. So there is a precedent for this type of behavior. As long as BFP is a democrat he should be able to coach again, if he is a republican, not so much.

I'd be a little surprised if Petrino gets a big time job right away. He'll probably have to go the Middle Upper Western Anonymous State route but somebody will be desperate enough to overlook his transgressions if it means getting some wins.

Professors fired for sexual harassment can still get hired at other schools. Those accused may survive it depending on the outcome. I've worked with some of both at other universities.

The problem any administration has with hiring Petrino is if he screws up, at all, those who hired him will be held responsible. He's just done too much shite for a big program to hire him at this point.
I used to think the guy got a bad rap, but I now believe its true, he has no ethics whatsoever.
