Amazing how stupid this guy is. It's one thing to have an affair. It's another to bring your [uck fay]ing affair to work. Mind-boggling. When you add this to his clandestine interview with Auburn while his former mentor was still the coach there, the grandiose feigned loyalty at Louisville, the cowardly exit from Atlanta, the petulant "[uck fay] you" incident with Les Miles....there's just a pattern of this guy being a dumb, dishonest dickhead. Believe his head coaching career is done.
True. Drops the amazonian whore before making the mistake of marrying her, gets a little bit of fame, and will probably be pulling some serious sympathy tail for the next several months if he plays his cards right.
Now we just need to find out that there in fact was no accident, but one was staged to cover the fact that his injuries actually occured during the ass-beating the fiance' gave him.
I think, looking long term, there's no way that the university could keep him around considering the circumstances. I think an angle not yet discussed (That I have seen) is that the university could have set themselves up for a serious lawsuit had they fired someone in, say, the admissions department for the same offense, but not Petrino. It would have significantly impaired their ability to enforce aspects of their employee contracts, I would think.
Not trying to slam Unimane at all, but I seriously, seriously doubt that a Head Football Coach's contract remotely resembles an admissions worker's contract. So, I don't really think it would affect that aspect of things. The main problem, in my opinion, came with the difficulty of this scenario: if they kept Petrino, the girl must leave. If she is fired, she would sue the shit out of the school and most likely win, so they would have to pay her a pretty hefty sum to leave and be quiet. Then, her former fiance is also working in the AD. What do they do with him? There were just too many collateral problems to keep Petrino, in my opinion.
I really don't understand why so many are complicating this so much. Petrino was a scum bag and this adventure of his was a black eye on the flagship university of the state. Sure, the problems from volleygirl and volleygirl's fiance would create problems, but none of that stuff comes remotely close to Petrino lying to the AD, performing such an immoral act and then trying so hard to cover it up. 95% of the reason Petrino was fired rests on all him and how he is viewed and thus how it makes University of Arkansas look.
and again I repeat: There is no need in complicating this. Petrino's firing is overwhelming based off of what Petrino did and how the black eye he gave the university not any repercussions from keeping him.
That'd be nice if that were the case; I'm always skeptical of people just by nature, so I really think had things not been so complicated, they would have tried to keep him.
Sorry if you take this the wrong way, but: DUH. Petrino is fully responsible for all the complications based off of his actions. Petrino hired the girl. Petrino had the affair with her. Petrino then lied about the accident. Petrino left the scene and instead of letting the police handle the situation properly, Petrino went and got and his personal security guard. See any trends?
I wasn't arguing that Petrino wasn't fully responsible. My point was, regardless of the immorality of his actions, had they had an easy way to dispose of the girl, Petrino would still be there. I understood what you were saying to mean that they were simply firing him for giving the University a black eye. I think it was only because they literally had no other choice.
