#34 Posted: 4/12/2012 11:31:27 PM As I posited in previous posts, Petrino was fired because of the hiring of his girlfriend. He probably would have survived if he hadn't used his position to get her the job. He was the highest paid state employee in Arkansas, and he abused his position for financial gain [for his girlfriend--and, by extension, for himself]. He had no chance once the information came out that he had gotten her the job over 158 other applicants. That's public money and he was a public employee. He could, but probably won't, be prosecuted.
From AD Jeff Long's statement:
"Coach Petrino’s relationship with Ms. Dorrell gave her an unfair and
undisclosed advantage for a position on Coach Petrino’s football staff.
She was one of 159 applicants for the job and Coach Petrino himself
participated in the review and selection process without disclosing his
relationship with her and that constitutes a conflict of interest under
university policy.
During my review of this matter, Coach Petrino
informed me that he give a large sum of cash, some $20,000 to Ms.
Dorrell. Coach Petrino, however, failed to disclose this information to
me prior to his recommendation to hire her into the football program.
Coach
Petrino’s conduct regarding his account of the accident jeopardized the
integrity of the football program. He made a choice to return to
practice on Tuesday, to hold a press conference, and to demonstrate his
physical resiliency and command of his program, all the time failing to
correct his initial report that he was the only person involved in the
accident. He made a conscious decision to speak and mislead the public
on Tuesday. In doing so, he negatively and adversely affected the
reputation of the University of Arkansas and our football program.
By
itself, Coach Petrino’s consensual relationship with Ms. Dorrell prior
to her joining the football staff was not against university policy. By
itself, it is a matter between individuals and their families. However,
in this case, Coach Petrino abused his authority when over the past few
weeks, he made a staff decision and personal choices that benefited
himself and jeopardized the integrity of the football program. In short,
Coach Petrino engaged in a pattern of misleading and manipulative
behavior designed to deceive me and members or the athletics’ staff both
before and after the motorcycle accident."
He used athletic department funds
to hire for his staff a person whom he had an inappropriate
relationship. He engaged in reckless and unacceptable behavior and put
his relationship in the national spotlight. Coach Petrino’s conduct was
contrary to character and responsibilities we demand of our head
football coach."
