Strangely enough, I think his employment at Arkansas will be contingent on how his WIFE handles the situation. If she "stands by her man", he stays. If she throws his shite out on the lawn and threatens to write a book - He'll be let go.
All in all, I see him staying for a year while this plays out.

What happens to the girl if Petrino stays?

He stays. Long will punish him.

If Petrino stays (gigantic if) then the girl cannot stay.
And if the girl cannot stay, arky has yet another problem with a sexual harassment lawsuit or something to that effect.

No need to let her go - I'd be willing to say that she'll leave the job on her own accord.

If Petrino hired the woman, a 25 year old former Arky student, he was sleeping with to a football department job and the hiring process failed to cross every t and dot every i in terms of merit (was she qualified) and/or in terms of process (was there a search process, was anyone else interviewed considered or did she just magically appear in the football office) he is gone. Not even close.
No university athletic program can have a person of influence using patronage jobs to keep his mistress happy especially if the mistress happens to be a former student athlete.
It's one thing for a coach or AD to have an affair with an employee, embarrassing? Yes, possible issues of conflict or potential harassement/discrimination issues if employee is fired/not promoted? Yes.
But using your influence as Coach to hire your 25 year old former student current mistress to a football operations job? No way he survives.
It's not about the affair, it's about improper influence and using Athletic Department resources to keep your mistress happy and close to you.
No chance he can talk, pray, beg his way out of this IF the Arky AD and Pres. have ANY sense of how any organization should be run and how leaders should act.

Lol at Shreveporthog...think you need to get out of LA dude and bullshite comments about our program just make you like an idiot. Just trying to make yourself feel better since your lil piggy coach is a complete douchebag and is about to get canned? Poor baby 
hey, bama has the edge right now.... But they and everyone else with half a brain know we are just as strong as Bama, They never look forward to lining up with the tigers....too bad your program will never know what that feels like

Quit fricking bringing up Malzahn's name

So - ulimately this will come down to weighing the pros and cons of keeping Petrino as head coach.
Pros:
- helluva coach (long-term stability of program)
- loaded 2012 team poised for SEC title run, maybe more - needs no distractions (short-term gain)
Cons:
- showed severe lack of judgement then lied about it, coming clean only when he had no other choice (hard to enforce discipline after something like that; equally hard to win over parents of recruits)
- as part of the above, lied to boss (how many folks survive that?)
- had a hand in a highly suspicious hiring action that could possibly open his employer up to legal action
- his inappropriate relationship affected a nominal peer (in name only, but a fellow coach in the same organization)
- previous image problem will be compounded by this
I know I'm no AD, but this looks pretty open-and-shut to me.
What message are you sending your organization (athletic department) if you allow him to stay?

I may be the only opposing fan that thinks like this, but I want him to stay.
He's easy to absolutely hate. And the circus surrounding arky would be incredible this season.
Posted on 4/6/12 at 9:26 am to TheDoc
I agree in a sense - keeping him would be GREAT for the football team. But that's about it.
Everything / everyone else associated with this gets screwed.

this will be tough- Petrino has righted the ship and money talks
the only issue is the girl worked for him which could open the University up to a lawsuit
watch for an out of court settlement with girl and Petrino stays

What about all the lawsuits coming from people that applied for her position?

BS. Its a slap on the wrist and move on. She was only an employee for 4 days. You don't boot a good FB coach for this. You can if he sucks but Petrino had a 10 win season last year. My money says he stays.

Do you know how many times jobs are opened up with someone already hired? It happens all of the time. If she is qualified for it, which she is, then they most likely would be fine imo. It's not like they hired someone with a culinary arts degree that had been running a restaurant two months prior.

How do you still not understand?
Do you think he just started having a relationship with her the day the job opened up? Because he didn't. It has been going on for a while. I don't know how long. But way before the job was offered.
It's fraternization plain and simple. He was having an affair with a former student and got her the job with the school.
He fricked

Other coaches have done worse. Pinkel and Pitino to name two.
Pinkel has done worse? How do you figure? He got a DUI, owned up to it, apologized, took a suspension and a fine and moved on. You really think that's worse, morally, than having an affair with a woman your daughter's age who is a co-worker, hiring her to work directly for you, being involved in a wreck with her, lying to your boss about it, lying to your wife and family about it, letting your employer issue untrue statements on your behalf to the press and opening them up to all kinds of potential liabilities?
