If there's good news for Petrino, Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino survived an affair, so there's a precedent for this type of thing. However, Pitino never blatantly lied to his bosses or hired his mistress to work underneath him (yeah, that was on purpose). And there is a morals clause in Petrino's contract that allows Arkansas to fire him for cause.
quote:
If Petrino does stay Arkansas' coach, it's going to be difficult for him to earn the respect he once had. How can he go into a recruit's home and tell parents he can teach their son morals and make him a man. If his own wife can't trust him, how can parents? They can't and Arkansas football will suffer because of it if he stays.

It's in Arkansas' best interest to cut bait. Keeping him on staff in any capacity after this could hurt the university more than the incident itself did.
So much of college football is building and maintaining relationships with prospective athletes and their parents. This reason alone will make BP remaining at UA a very difficult endeavor. The university's best course of action is to examine legal issues and let him go as soon as safely possible and take the stance that it will not tolerate such behavior, regardless of said person's success or role at the university.
The athletes, students, fans, and administration at arkansas deserve better that this POS.

rebuilding year? They went 11-2 and were ranked #3 at the time. Don't try to distort the facts you hillbilly. Accept your arse beating for what it was.
I bet if davis hadn't gotten hurt then arky would have been undefeated and gone to the BCSNG and beat OSU.

Hog fans always make me

No, but I just hate when people put 2 things in a group that are clearly not on the same level. Are your favorite movies the Godfather and Kazaam? Hahaha!!!
Oh do you now? Sort of like some little arse wipe putting Arkansas on the same level as LSU? You sure talk alot of shite for a program that hasn't accomplished jack shite since joining the SEC in '92.
The "we couldn't beat you but Bama did" is really pitiful on your part. Now go cry to mommy about your classless and soon to be EX-coach.

If they were to keep him, they'd have to keep the chick. Too big of a liability.
They both go.
Best post so far in this thread

He should be fired, but I'm thinking they're trying to let things cool off with the leave stuff.

Well it's not hard, but you sir are smarter than 90% of the posters on this board.

This thing is going to blow up. Espn has it's hands on it. He is gone.

Isn't something "popping up" sorta what got him into this mess in the first place?

I'm guessing BP blamed the chick for everything that happened thus finding a way to keep his job. Typical BP shite.

Petrino prediction thread fired or not fired? I'd say he's got a pretty good chance of being fired due to Dorrell being a UA employee. But my guess is they'll do their best to hold on to him ~As quietly as possible, UA works out a substantial severance package for Dorrell and she signs an agreement to keep quiet. ~Bobby Petrino is fined $50,000-$100,000 and is suspended 2 games against Jacksonville State and ULM to start the season. Arky fans in-particular, your thoughts are welcomed.
I've thought about this overnight and the clincher is what the employee guidelines say about fraternization. I believe those rules at the UofA are very loose and do not have a bright line rule requiring termination. A tenured professor at the UofA would not be terminated, I don 't think Petrino will either.
Other coaches have done worse. Pinkel and Pitino to name two.
All that said, I would be fine if he were suspended and fined. This should give Long leverage over BMFP for the foreseeable future.

And wtf happened in this thread? Do I see a very lost, confused and cornered Arky fan lashing out with hyperbole? Is he trying to provoke Bama fans into helping take the heat off of him?
Sad sad sad

Just wondering if someone knows for sure that he was bumping uglies with the volley-ball player?
Go with me here...
BP: "I got a motorcycle that goes really fast!"
Sexy volley-ball player: "Ohh, will you take me for a ride?"
BP: "Sure, hop on!"
I'm just sayin', maybe were a bit cynical.
I'd like to see him canned too. The guy is just a classless, whining, little bitch, but we don't have enough information to jump to conclusions.
Corporations post job openings all the time as a matter of obligation, when they know in advance who they are going to hire. In fact, on one one occasion, I created a position just to be able to hire someone I thought could help our comapny.
I'm not saying he stays or goes, I just think we don't have enough information to venture a guess.

He said that he had an inappropriate relationship with her. I don't think we are being cynical at all or jumping to conclusions.
The man has already shown that he Has zero character. Everyone knew he was a coward with the way he left the falcons. Then he goes on to solidify how much of a spineless coward he is by lying about the incident and trying to cover up this affair with the person that he hired to work under him.
The guy is a proven POS that everyone outside of the coach worshipping Arkansas fanbase could see. I'm glad to see some Arkansas fans on here that actually Care about the integrity of the university.

What does "inappropriate relationship" mean to you?

When this story 1st broke I never imagined it evolve into what it is now. Petrino was banging a side peice, who was actually engaged to be married to a coach on his own staff...then lies to the university on about it...yeah...Im leaning toward him being gone also. Took a while for Tressel to fall but we might see some quick action by the Arky brass on this.
Man...I feel bad for the dude who planned to marry that chick...wow....how embarrassing.
Yeah...Bobby P is is GONE in my book
