Would you hire Bobby Petrino?

Sorry I like Petrino's taste in women and I like coaches that win a lot of football games although I wasn't necessarily talking about CU hiring him.
I don't care that he had an affair. It seems like there's infidelity in most marriages at some point.
But if I'm an AD, I do care that Petrino opened up his last athletic department to a potential legal action by hiring his mistress.
I do care that Petrino lied to his last athletic director about that hire.
I do care that Petrino has a questionable history from the discipline issues he left at Louisville to quitting on his team mid-season with the Falcons to the recent motorcycle diaries at Arkansas.
And I certainly do care that Petrino, despite all that, was allegedly given an out by his AD to accept a small punishment but Petrino believed he was bigger than the department and refused to accept it... forcing his own firing.
I wouldn't hire the guy. He's not the only coach who wins football games.

However, a good portion of their fanbase does. We tend to paint the south with a broad brush, but Arkansas is a lot different than say Baton Rouge or Gainesville. Arkansas is the buckle of the bible belt. For instance, there are still a lot of dry counties in northern Arkansas. Lots of the people their don't have a "as long as we win" SEC attitude. They might have fired him for the lies and hiring legal issues, but I'm sure there was a lot of pressure from some allumni to get rid of him for the affair.
here is a dry county map. Looks like Arkansas, Kentucky and WVU are very well represented and surprisingly Kansas.

There's nothing wrong with putting your whore on the state payroll.

I'm no expert, but shouldn't all of Utah be some shade other than blue?

I'm with you Jimmy, dude is 51 years old and nails a hot woman 25. I'm jealous - there's only one thing worse than not getting what you want, and that's when somebody else gets it. Who agrees with me?

I agree there's nothing wrong with wanting to nail 25 year olds.
But if that's what you want to do, you should get a divorce instead of putting your wife and 4 kids through this stuff.
You also shouldn't bring it into your workplace.
Other than those 2 points, I couldn't care less about Petrino's sex life.
:nod:
Sure takes a lot less to be considered "hot" these days I guess.

I have a friend that went to Hendrix college in northern Arkansas. He avoided having to work in college simply by running booze into the county.
:lol:
Bill Clinton is from Arkansas. Just sayin.

What's the point of having power and money if you can't hire your 25 year old mistress? That's how I look at it.
luckily, we will not be presented with this choice because (a) we have a coach already, (b) we don't take our football seriously enough, and (c) petrino will feel certain to his core that he could land a "better" job than CU.
other than these factors and his personal failings, it is a great idea!

Actually it might very well be a legal issue.
Yes, for Football 101.
It could very well be a legal issue. In addition to the issues about lying to his employers which aren't neccessarily against the law his channeling of money to his young bedwarmer may be an issue of missallocation of university funds. If he has spent AD money on her, taking her places on the university, etc. then you very easily have at least an investigation into legal issues.
With all that it would be surprising if the university doesn't just want this whole thing to go away as quickly as possible. Pursuing legal action against Petrino means that the whole thing stays in the media along with the negative consequences of that media attention. Arky may be very happy just to say go away and let's call it over.
