I live in the Knoxville area now, and was in line with a shopping cart full of mums . I was talking with the woman in front of me about the Vols game against Fla this weekend. Neither  of us had mentioned where we were from.  I said, 'I hope the Vols win this weekend.'  She said, "I am pulling for Fla, they have not doing well the past few years".  "They need a win".  Without out telling her where I am from I said, " a team that needs a win is Arkansas". Her response was, "I don't care if they win or not they brought their situation on themselves".  "They fired one the best coaches in the country for  some personal problems.' "he had not broken any NCAA rules that had gotten the school in trouble".  "I can tell you we would not have fired him". The conversation ended there as it was her turn at the check out. I am not making any comments on our conversation pro or con.

You know what they say: out of the mouths of shopping cart mums...

Hogville prediction formula:

1.  Insert bad news prediction. A loss, a recruit going elsewhere, a coach leaving, etc.
2.  Tag "hope I'm wrong," on the end.
3a.  Enjoy a correct prediction.
3b.  Act like you're relieved you're wrong and celebrate with everyone else.

She's right.

She is ill-informed and ignorant of the facts and doesn't know what she is talking about. Everyone seems to forget that BP brought this on himself...no lies to his employer, boss and the national media = no firing. I always give great weight to the opinion of a random person in the check-out line at a grocery store...especially when I had an agenda to begin with that agrees with their ill-informed opinion on a matter.

Alabama fan? Lol of course they wouldn't fire a coach for such...assuming they are winning games. Think if the same happened with Saban they would ride the integrity wagon like we did? Zero chance.
Thanks for the F Shack.

You're not kidding ill informed.  How about sleeping with and giving a job to the least qualified person.  This is just for starters.  What about over paying her and other financial and non-financial benefits?  People are so full of denial thinking that he did nothing wrong regarding the law or the NCAA.   We would have been investigated so fast and found guilty because of what he did, it wouldn't have been funny, and everyone on here would be so mad because we were banned scholarships and bowl appearances just to name a few things.  He brought that on himself, period!

For sure. Terrible NCAA infractions occurred there...good call. Jeff Long firing him made it all just disappear and the NCAA was able to look past what had happened thanks to our great AD. Otherwise, we would've been in major trouble with the NCAA and probably lawsuits as well.

Didn't break any NCAA rules... Just put the university in a position to be sued by any number of people who applied for the same position Petrino's little cupcake got by spreading her legs.  Considering its a state institution, I wonder what kind of punitive damages that would have added up to?

Besides.... Petrino was as close to having Arkansas relevant as Bielema is.  If you ain't contending for the division you arent relevant.  And its been awhile and I'm too lazy to look it up and verify, but I dont remember Petrino ever competing with LSU or Alabama.  I do remember a nationally televised MF bomb though cause Miles was running up the score.

Of course Alabama fans probably wanted us to keep Robert Petrino (and they thought we should have kept him).

They were 4-0 against Robert while he was our Head Coach.

Actually the MF bomb was after the LSU QB scored and pretended to rip his chest open and pull out a heart. We had just had a player die of a heart problem that week. Miles was overy there chuckling at his QB's theatrics...greatest and most deserved MF Bomb ever. Bobby did nothing wrong there.

I always wondered, why did firing BP save the university from getting sued?

So why didn't they sue? Where are or were all the lawsuits? Petrino getting fired just magically make it so that all the illegal stuff didn't happen?

Petrino wasn't the one who hired her. Long hired here. The other candidates (all 2 of them) didn't care enough to sue. They both had jobs by the time things went down. If they had sued, their football careers would probably have been killed. Would you want to hire someone who sued over not getting a job?

People lie to their bosses about non-work, personal stuff all the time and if it doesn't affect their job performance, they usually keep right on working.  I have wonderful employees and I don't doubt every damn one of them has lied to me about why they needed to miss work or something else.  However, they did their jobs and broke no "job related" rules which in Bobby's case would be NCAA rules.  He didn't have to be fired.  Now his arrogant ass self wound up getting himself fired by taking the wrong stand at the wrong time, but it was not a forgone conclusion he had to be fired.  All that said, it's time to forget about him because it's clear we screwed up but no point reliving it, focus on the unmitigated master of underachieving we have now and figure out where we go from here.

I knew at the time firing CBP was a colossal, bone headed move.  Long;s poor handling of the mess, and his subsequent gigantic buyout for CBB have been amateurish at best.

I usually see eye to eye with you on most things, same with PorkRinds ( he's in this thread as well).. Posters I enjoy, but I disagree with you all on this one.. We could have and should have found a way to keep him.. save some face but at the same time keep him... I know it's said BP would not take the punishment but also that he had a change of mind but Jeff had already decided,,, I thought it then and think more so now, we should have found a way... Guess you have more integrity than I do...

Well again, it really isn't a matter of agreeing or disagreeing with me or anyone else. Had Petrino made his first call to Long and come clean about what happened and allowed Long to engage in damage control for Petrino and the University, the narrative for public consumption would have been different. There would have been no lies to the University, to his AD, no BP lies released to the national media and he would very likely have survived this event. But once Petrino put his cover-up story out to the national media thinking he was going to lie his way out of this, the genie was out of the bottle.

I don't blame Long or the University. The blame and responsibility for the consequences fall directly on BP's shoulders.
Go Hogs Go!

Here's why it was not illegal to hire her and the university had no leagal risk involved.

With this I agree... but an affair in it's essence, is lying to everybody... People understand that you lie when you have an affair... it's what it is... A public apology, a Jimmy Swaggart moment and people forgive... happens everyday to preachers, bosses, coaches and even HV posters...

And it is about disagreeing with you or anybody else.. Find a way to keep him or not.. you say no and I disagree...

It's all water under the bridge and only a discussion point because we are unhappy with our current situation... hard to move on until you have what you had or you forget...

If you're responsible for record profits and bringing success your company hasn't seen in a while, the example you've given here would not lead to a firing, in my opinion. 

Money and success is ultimate forgiveness inducer.


FWIW, I actually agreed with the firing at the time.  In hindsight and considering where we've gone since, I also think a stern reprimand behind closed doors and internal penalty, as well as an apology tour through the media might have been a viable option. 

Long could have saved face by coming out and saying that Coach Petrino was being suspended indefinitely and then put through counseling and education program as punishment. 

Example of winning that cures a lot:

Pitino- Paid for his mistress to get an abortion, downplaying the sexual encounter stating it lasted "No longer than 15 seconds" and years later reportedly hired prostitutes for recruits.

All of the examples are from under-performing CEO and Execs???  It seems like you're agreeing with me but it's tough to tell.  Steve Jobs, for example, was fired from Apple way before Apple was successful.  He was brought back in because they were on life support.  He then revolutionized the technology industry. 

Are you saying now that the hogs are on life support, we should bring Petrino back?  I don't think that would go over well.

actually Steve jobs had built up apple. then got fired, apple tanked. then apple went out and REHIRED Steve jobs. jobs didnt really do any thing wrong. unlike other people. Apple at the time wanted to go a different direction then Jobs did.

Though I can't quote a link and anyone who knows wouldn't admit it, it is my understanding that despite Long's media statement when he announced the firing of BP, that Long gave BP a list of things that he would need to comply with in order to stay and BP initially refused, and then later changed his mind but by that time it was too late.

And for everyone else, this isn't a commentary on his quality as a HC. I think that he is one of few really great offensive minds and play callers/schemers in college football and a heck of a QB Coach, but from all reports he is a tough guy to manage from an AD's standpoint and not always the face that you want representing your program. He wins, you just have to manage the baggage that comes along with him wherever he goes.

This is fundamentally not true. Dorrel, being female, could claim minority status for the hire, and she possessed the minimum qualifications for the job. There is no law that states you must hire someone he most qualified person for he job.


Hiring her was stupid, but not something for which the school could be sued. If it were, firing both of them would not remove the school's vulnerability.
It really is this simple. Unchecked government power leads to corruption, and lack of accountability for it is drastically eroding confidence in our institutions.    aristotle

Often the best are the toughest to manage.. they have a vision and often it doesn't match their bosses... as far as the face representing the program... If I were the person deciding and Bobby said he'd come back next year but couldn't do so as long as Jeff is there.. I'd be looking for a new AD, they are a dime a dozen.. HOF coaches are not...

Lucky for many of you, I'm not in that position...

Here are the choices before Arkansas when it comes to the direction of the program in my opinion.

1. You stick with Bielema who may or may not ever win 9-10 games here but usually wins 7-8 and gets you to a bowl every year, runs a clean program that graduates players and provides a program that everyone can be proud of because we don't break a bunch of rules like some of our competition and you can just enjoy the game day experience with family and friends knowing that you may not ever contend for the SECCG.

2. You decide to throw the old model of conducting football business out the window, get as dirty as many other teams in the SEC in recruiting who compete at higher levels and take your lumps when you land on probation and get your name dragged through the mud in the national media. At this point, you don't give a hoot if Arkansas has any integrity or not as long as they are winning 9 to 13 or 14 games every year.

3. You decide to change to a HC with a different philosophy that runs the HUNH, throw it all over the field style of offense that requires you to outscore other teams in order to win and every game is a track meet. This requires more emphasis on offense and less on defense. Of course everyone will gripe when we lose because the defense wasn't there to help us. The upside is, you probably win more and sooner and it doesn't necessarily require top 20 recruiting classes in order to accomplish this. You still may not ever get to the SECCG, but you may win 1-2-3 more games each year than we are now.

That's what I see as our options.
Go Hogs Go!

How about sleeping with and giving a job to the least qualified person.
She seemed adequately qualified for part of that.
That's a pretty girl.  I caught her twice.  12.5 pounds.  I hope she's still alive.

Hogpharmer.  There will be no vote.  He rid us of hoginmemphis, otherwise known as gomerbullinmemphis, and no one else can match that accomplishment in our lifetime.
