good luck, bobbie – I people from Helena MT where he grew up. Mostly, they way he was raised to be arrogant and obnoxious and to be a good football coach.

You can “borrow” a new bike and not call it a steal.
Grab a blonde chick, lay back and chill.

They love it like that here in Fayetteville.

The UA has made tremendous strides as a university… our business college is renowned, and many other departments are also worthy and provide as much quality as numerous other more well-regarded schools. Take your knowledge and blaze a path that represents the UA well, and that will do more than any football accomplishment could ever hope for.

I’ve been on the field at Razorback Stadium as a college football competitor, and I have my degree from the UA. Do I want the Hogs to be a dominant football power? Absolutely. Am I willing to accept anything for that to be so, even if it further paints the UA and the state as a backwater? No way.

Anyone who gives a crap about the UA and the national perception of the state of Arkansas cannot support BMFP’s actions, no matter how much it hurts to think of letting him go.

This is way more important than athletic success. How can some people not get that?

Another key point others have made and some keep overlooking: obviously Petrino and Dorrell have some kind of a relationship, and just days before this all blew up in his face, he hires her to a high-paying job as a direct report in a position that will require being alone away from home on the “company” dime.

It sure looks improper to me.

Look at it this way: If your father is the district attorney here and you get arrested for DUI but never charged, it appears improper even if the decision was made completely above board. This is why most businesses and corporations have rules against fraternization as well as against spouses/family members being each other’s direct reports.

In any other business, Petrino’s lying and questionable hiring decision would have gotten him fired for exposing the company to ridicule and massive liability.

It’s not about the sexytimes. It’s about the lying lies.

I’m impressed at your ability to deduce what I believe about his involvement, but guess what, it doesn’t matter what you or I *think* about it. Long is conducting the review as we speak, and thankfully he operates on a more stringent burden of proof than what is required to post on the interwebs.
