If you are in the AD of the school...

Do you fire Petrino?

Do you fire Rick Pitino in Louisville for what he did?

Do you Fire Bruce Pearl?

I can't think of any other "big" head coaches lying recently or I'd throw out more. But, in these scenarios, there is NO NCAA sanctions or punishments, simply the "hit" on your universities' public image by the conduct of the coaches.

So, I ask you. Do you fire them all, some, none? What is the price of winning to you?

Can't speak for the Pitino situation but I'd fire Petrino and Pearl.

I would not want to deal with the public relations headache that Arkansas is going to deal with and lying and purposefully breaking the rules never gets you anywhere for Pearl.

Not the case on the Pearl situation. The NCAA would have lowered the boom. The AD had no choice.

Actually this is not your answer but my wife's cousin from Michigan is an AD at a smaller division school in Ohio.

I would fire petrino and the girl. She was engaged to a school employee allegedly.

She was/is engaged to the swimming coach, whose office is in the same building as Petrino's. Fire Petrino IMO. His offense of engaging sexually with one of his employees is questionable.

Tressel lied too didn't he?

Yes
No
Yes

Incorrect with Pearl, so you need to throw that one out.

Kick 'em all to the curve. They have no business being 4-year role models to young men.

no
yes, had no choice

I think you guys are missing what I'm saying by no NCAA sanctions since two people so far have misunderstood what I meant..

In the scenarios (hypothetical ones), there is NO NCAA involvement whatsoever. No Post seasons Ban for Pearl/show cause. Just him being caught lying.

Same with Tressel/Joepa now that think more. No NCAA punishments, just the PR hit and the embarrassment of it all.

hard to separate that out since he lied to the NCAA which is what made it so egregious.

Pearl was a different situation.

In my perfect world, Petrino and Pitino don't get fired. Their actions had nothing to do with the school or their perfomance (most likely, anyway), so I don't see what grounds the AD would have to fire them on. Unless there were some stipulations in their contracts.
