It's the SEC and he's winning. I've never liked Petrino for various reasons, but he's gonna have to do a lot more than that for them to can him.

He'll sign a multi-year deal with Viagra by the end of the day.*

Zero percent chance he is fired.

He won't get fired. I wish it would all blow up in his face, but I don't think this is going to be a big deal. Still, he's on the list of coaches I absolutely detest and root against. Originally Posted by wasris

He hired his mistress to be part of the football staff, and then lied to his AD about her. Head football coaches have been fired for less (Mike Price at Alabama).

Is this the AD that hired Petrino in the first place, or is this a new AD? Originally Posted by Compeau

Slim (but existent) chance he's fired IMO
Price was fired for less, but IMO, Price's firing was also largely due to the fact that he was an underwhelming hire to begin with and any excuse to can him would be taken. Similar to O'Leary at Notre Dame IMO. Petrino is otherwise popular there and has been successful. It's harder to push an established guy off the perch rather than someone who has yet to coach a practice.. much less a game. Originally Posted by Compeau
But, he did get what appears to be a potential mistress on the football staff... and that relationship was never disclosed to the appropriate people. That is a big ethical issue. IMO, in the end, he'll take a financial hit on the contract, issue a big apology, and he'll be back on staff by June.
