I think Petrino would survive had he not given her a job where she reports to him. I wonder if the AD knew of the hire. If he did but wasn't told of the relationship (which is obvious) that is another instance of Petrino lying to Long. All these Arky fans wanting to separate the two offenses and keep their football coach have never had to deal with something like this. The incidents are linked because he hired her to work under him. Now, she works for the AD and is paid with their funds. What if, the wreck doesn't happen and they keep seeing each other a few more years. Then the wife finds out...and Petrino then cuts her loose. You are then looking at Quid pro quo harassment. Or, what if her fiance had found out? This thing could have gotten way out of hand. In a way, Arky is lucky it came out now.
My question is who set up her benchmarks and how was she going to be evaluated. LOL! The Arky AD is on the clock. If they aren't 11-2 last year he is fired. He wants to keep him IMO but he can't. If he does, it opens a huge can of worms about behavior in the workplace at UArky. This isn't about wins, but Arky fans are trying to make it that. Sad thing, Long lets him go...Pigs flounder and Long gets canned.
