He got fired for abusing his position to benefit his side honey and lying to his boss.
Morals aside, it's in keeping with his track record of a lack of professionalism and poor judgement.
I don't want him within a hundred miles of a program founded by Gene Bartow.
Yeah, it's obviously just a philosophical debate, because there's no way it will happen. But Petrino's problems weren't that he got caught with a 25 year old blonde. It's all the other unbelievably bad decisions that surrounded it. He hired her over 150+ other candidates while he was sleeping with her. He gave her $20,000. Her fiance was a fellow member of the athletic department. He lied, repeatedly, to his boss. He apparently can't drive a motorcycle and text at the same time. These are the things that are unacceptable and the reason why he's going to have a hard time finding another job in college.
The interesting fact to me is how nobody is coming to his defense and saying, "He's really a good person; he just got caught up in a bad situation." Tressel had that. Butch Davis had that. Hell, even Eustachy back in the day had that. Nobody in the coaching community is saying anything about Petrino. That's probably because they listened to their mommas tell them "if you can't say anything nice...."
They're saving for a few years for the beautiful comeback story. See Tiger Woods.
The synchronicity in the story is that it seems text messages did them both in. It is stunning to me the people who engage in all their bad behavior in a way that is so easily tracked. It's also stunning that someone would think they could successfully send text messages while riding a motorcycle, as if reducing the number of wheels on the vehicle by half didn't provide enough additional degree of difficulty.

Were they texting each other while he was driving the motorcycle? I must have missed that.
While the text & phone trail for 6 months was an indication, the 20 grand was also a key, along with the hiring of her as the "most qualified".

Well, according to the Deadspin records and analysis (I know...grain of salt, whatever), the records reflect that he was sending and receiving text messages at a time when he would have already started his journey based on where he said it started and where and when the crash occurred. That's just speculation, of course; he could have pulled off the road to send the texts. But it's no fun -- and almost certainly inaccurate -- to speculate that Bobby Petrino would do something that safe given all his other catastrophically bad decisions.
Edited to add: not to each other. He was texting with Greg Brohm.

Culture shock for me. I come from a message board where everybody thinks we're the end all be all in college atheletics.
why would a hog fan post on uat's message boards?
Um, maybe because I'm interested in your take on the situation? I think I've been pretty respectful, is there a problem with me being here??
We are UAB, not only did you just disrespect UAB fans, you slapped our mothers, kissed our wives, and kicked our mascot.
Ahh, I see now. Please accept my humble apologies...

I don't really have the status to accept your apology on behalf of the entire board but I will say recognizing your mistake and atoning for it right away it very big of you.
Too bad Petrino didn't do the same thing.
