I think it's crap (assuming more doesn't come out) Long hired Petrino knowing what his reputation was. Add in that infedelity is a common occourance these days and it doesn't add up to me.

I was just thinking about that.
So where does Petrino land? Someone will take a chance on him in a year or two.

Long was backed into a corner. The night the bike went down both Pitrino and Long lost their job.

Long's job is safe.

I think the reason for firing him is simply that he HIRED the chick he was having an affair with, with ARKANSAS money. He could easily survive an affair. Frankly nobody would much care. But he was using his position as head coach to get young poontang jobs. That crosses any line that winning creates.

AM!!! What's up brother?!!!

Not sure why hiring some tramp because you are banging her isn't grounds for dismissal. Pretty sure if you are a CEO at a company succeeding you are going to fired if you did the same thing.

You think that if you're a CEO of a fortune 100 company and you're sleeping with your secretary that you just hired that you'd be fired on those grounds alone?
If this was anywhere but the SEC I'd agree with you, but usually winning trumps something like an affair and Petrino was winning.

I hate this for Arkansas fans but is anyone outside of Arkansas feeling bad for Bobby Petrino right now? I doubt it.

Umm, No.

Is it safe if Arkansas is a marginal bowl team in 2 or 3 years?

Well again..it ISNT just an affair. The guy was using Arkansas money to fund his affair. He used his position as head football coach to get his little squeeze paid. In the immortal words of Ruch Limbaugh, that makes her a hooker and him a john.

I am pretty sure an CEO of an Fortune 100 company would be forced to resign if did the exact same thing as Bobby did. The SEC changes things a bit, but there comes a time where morals have to take precedent over winning. Arky should be able to hire another Coach who isn't completely void of any moral values and still win.

That's bullshat. Alabama fired Mike Price and he was destined for greatness. We care.
