Title: "Jeff Long the one getting cheated in Petrino scandal" Post by: Chechem on April 06, 2012, 04:42:28 AM http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/04/06/jeff-long-the-one-getting-cheated-in-petrino-scandal/
Quote Sitting in front of rolling cameras and eager reporters tweeting away on their mobile devices, Arkansas athletic director Jeff Long held what had to be the toughest press conference of his four years in Fayetteville. His coach… his big hire… Bobby Petrino, had flat-out lied to him... Yes, another thread about it. It's the most-salient news in the SEC today. :dunno: Title: Re: "Jeff Long the one getting cheated in Petrino scandal" Post by: Chechem on April 06, 2012, 05:14:37 AM (http://zennie62blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/bobby-petrino-with-jessica-dorrell1.jpg)
The primary problem, besides the lie, is that Petrino hired her himself (apparently after the affair started).

They were made for each other. Title: Re: "Jeff Long the one getting cheated in Petrino scandal" Post by: bamaphil on April 06, 2012, 06:03:38 AM What did Long think he was getting when he hired a guy that would walk away from a contract and a team in the middle of a season?
Also, isn't his family the one being cheated?

Title: Re: "Jeff Long the one getting cheated in Petrino scandal" Post by: Chechem on April 06, 2012, 06:31:34 AM The timeline of their relationship is key: http://capstonereport.com/2012/04/05/commentary-moralizing-aside-arkansas-needs-bobby-petrino/16082/
Quote This isn’t the case of an older man preying on a White House intern. This is the case of two consenting adults apparently indulging in pleasurable pursuits. Yawn. :tinfoil: :tinfoil: :tinfoil: Title: Re: "Jeff Long the one getting cheated in Petrino scandal" Post by: Chechem on April 06, 2012, 06:35:55 AM Quote UPDATE: Not fired, but Petrino is on paid administrative leave while Assistant Head Coach/Linebackers Coach Taver Johnson has been tasked with running things in the interim. Most intriguing question that came up is the allegation that Petrino also lied about taking a blood alcohol test (claimed he did not/alcohol was not involved, but blood tests were taken at the hospital, media pushing for the results). If alcohol was involved and the cover up just gets that much thicker? You have to think he's gone. Further, the young lady in question was recently hired/promoted by Petrino, so if there's any question as to whether their relationship was the reason behind that hire? Man, this is gonna get ugly.

"My concern was to protect my family and a previous inappropriate relationship from becoming public," he said. "In hindsight, I showed a serious mistake in judgment when I chose not to be more specific about those details. Today, I've acknowledged this previous inappropriate relationship with my family and those within the athletic department administration.".........http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaaf-dr-saturday/bobby-petrino-admits-affair-arkansas-puts-him-indefinite-042635905.html |
