Cream - I wouldn't be so fast to assume he is done as a Hog.....cheating on your spouse won't get you fired if you are winning. Directly lying to your boss gets you fired just about everywhere winning or not.

However, Petrino has Arkansas competing at the top in the SEC, playing (and getting beat in:biggrin BCS games, and recruiting very well. Prior to Petrino being hired they were all but irrelevent....and sure couldn't compete!

I actually think he has a 33% chance of keeping his job. He cheated on his wife and lied to his boss, but he wins games and generates huge cash for the university. I don't expect a decision any time soon and the longer it goes on the better chance they stick with him IMO.

I'd fire him in a second if I were in charge...not for cheating on his wife, but for directly lying to me. No trust = no position..end of story. But, here we are and he is still employed on full paid leave. I have my doubts they care as long as he can win and they can perform public "damage control".

I think it is fitting that this young chick was engaged prior to this incident:biggrin: 2 peas in a pod I say they are made for each other:cheeky-smiley-022:

Yea, anywhere except the SEC and his fate is sealed....I still think he has a shot at staying which sayd a lot. In the end I think Long will have to fire him....if not the message is louder than ever down there about how they do business. Looks like it will end badly either way.

They were pretty much in a corner and had to fire him eventually.
Hogs loss (he is a good coach despite being a bad person) will be somebody else's gain.

Petrino will land somewhere else in NCAA as head coach if he chooses. He's too good for the lure of winning to turn schools away. I look for him to possibly take a year off to get family affairs in order and show up at a tier 2 NCAA school where he will kick butt.
