Brace yourself, world – there’s a Bobby Petrino support group, and it’s about what you’d expect.
Arkansas Football: It’s the players running through the A, Hog Hats. It’s more than 70,000 fans calling, “WOO PIG SOOIE!”
Arkansas Football: It’s the State of Arkansas banding together behind one team, and a mascot like no other. Those select few who put on the jersey are, chosen. They wear the colors, they pay the price, and they succeed. They are exceptionable, they are Razorbacks.
Together we stand as tall as the tower of Old Main. Our memories are etched in stone like names on Senior Walk. And our blood flows Razorbacks Red. For 100 years we’ve been Hogwild, and today we continue the tradition.
We are, Arkansas Razorbacks!
SAVE OUR COACH!
I’d ask what tradition they think is being continued here, but I’m afraid I’d laugh too much at the answer.

I don’t believe the AD is even thinking about firing Petrino at this point. They’re trying to figure out how to keep him. Arkansas knew precisely what kind of douche they were hiring when they went after Petrino. They didn’t care then and they don’t care now. They want to win. Period. If they had wanted character and integrity they never would have hired Petrino in the first place. If this didn’t involve other university personnel, they would have already made a statement about how this was an unfortunate but strictly personal issue that in no way involved the school or the program.
LikeLike
The AD may not be the one really making the decision. This may be something that the President of the University of Arkansas decides and the AD just follows that decision.
LikeLike
I said in an earlier post that this is above the AD’s pay grade. This is a violation of University policy and the punishment or lack thereof could effect the university in a whole lot of ways.

Rumor has it that the decision is going even higher up than the school president.

Apparently Arkansas schools teach the “insert comma every time you inhale” rule.
Arkie will find a way to keep Bobby. He’s stuck in Fayetteville now, at least until he finds a way to win a national championship. If they can weather this, they got the man for the long haul, which can be a good thing only in the tradition of Arkansas football.

You know, I never thought of that. In a perverse sort of way this actually FAVORS Arkansas. They had to be worried that some other top football school would come after Petrino (for example UT after SOD gets the ax) but now he’s radioactive. They’ve got him for life. Firing him would be crazy–absolutely will not happen.

All right, Senator. I have no issue with the usage of irregardless as mockery. I do it to a friend of mine all the time with whom once I debated its validity; but shouldn’t we, at least, demarcate that concept somewhere (i.e. The Lexicon), that is if it becomes a thing, in order to stem the tide of “Georgie’s kiss they sisters in they trailers,” nonsense that would surely follow? You know, so we don’t have to constantinuously explain it…

After all the jobs that were open last year (Penn State, Ohio State, et al) he may have had all that he could take and decided to use the nuclear option to get fired.

Feindishly clever BD, but how could he assure he doesn’t lose his payout by getting fired for cause?

That’s the nuclear part of the option. Not sure quite how it works, but if it helps land another job in a couple of years, all is well.

The most damaging part, and the part that might lead to his dismissal, is going to be the quid pro quo aspect of this. How did this young woman get a job within the football program, was “something” exchanged?
And ironically, Petrino is now relying on the loyalty and mercy of his administration to get him through this, two qualities that have been absent from Petrino himself in his career. No loyalty, and ruthless towards people.

She was in the Arkansas AD department for awhile prior to her move into the football offices. I think the affair goes back awhile, and he just picked her for an open position.
But even if he wasn’t her direct supervisor, she’s got a whale of a sexual harassment case to make, should she choose to make it. I’m betting she gets paid not to.

Irregardless, the exceptionable part to this is that he picked her for an open position. That worked well. Now he’s picking her for several open positions.

The claim has merit because she’s a cog in the machine, and he’s running it – it would make it to trial. The suit has teeth because it would be a PR nightmare, which means Petrino/UA can’t win it either way.
