The most amazing thing to me is that Arkansas fans are STOKED to have this coward back! Saying things like: Firing him was an overreaction.
Holy shit.
I think I like Sean Payton better than Bobby Petrino. Yes, I know what I’m saying.
I would love to know that Bobby Petrino saw this thread on Reddit.
Who rehires somebody you fired. Someone who embarrassed your institution. Someone who cost you a bunch of money in legal fees.
Pet-rino
Let it go
I had been rooting for Pittman to do well, but that’ll have to change. No way Arkansas can get insurance for any Petrino liability after being dumb enough to rehire him in violation of their own policy of not rehiring someone previously fired for cause.
Late to the thread but Fuck Petrino!
Fuck this guy.
Ok I’m gonna ask an ignorant ass question, but I didn’t really start keeping up with NFL closely til about 08… why do we hate Petrino so much? Like what is the “lore”?
Quoting other answers because I’m too lazy to type
He joined as the new head coach just before the Michael Vick dogfighting story broke and Vick left the team. So Petrino didn’t get the team and star player he thought he was getting. That year was going very poorly and instead of embracing the challenge Petrino bailed around 2/3 through the season and became head coach of a college team (Arkansas). He didn’t say goodbye to the players or anyone, just left in the middle of the night. Abandoned the team.
And then he got fired from Arkansas after getting caught sleeping with a team staffer after he crashed his motorcycle with her on it (and lied about it) One of the biggest pieces of human trash in football history, and that is saying a lot.
Fuck Bobby Petrino. FTS
🤣🤣
Have you heard what Jessica Dorrell’s position will be, other than prone or Hawg-style?
Is that the girl he was having an affair with and crashed on the scooter or whatever?
He also reportedly paid some of her wedding expenses too. The whole thing was fucking crazy.
Someone made a joke in the CFB thread that he’s retracing his steps backward, and will come back to the Falcons. I said that if that happens, I think I can finally leave. We’ve been through a lot, but I think that would have to be the last straw.
Also… Petrino.
Forever his name will live in infamy
