What is worse - an apology full of excuses or no apology at all. Step up and admit it.
I'd almost have more respect for the guy if he said. "Like many great men before me - Bill Clinton, JFK, and of course Tiki Barber, I have been having an affair."
Lets see......he abandons Louisville, then heads to ATL. 13 games into the Falcons' season he abruptly quits without even so much as addressing the team. Dude seriously just walked out. He is then seen on tv TWO DAYS LATER at an Arkansas press conference leading a chant as the new head coach! Petrino embodies the term dirtbag.
Police report: "Due to unknown reasons" the bike veered into the ditch. Reach around, anyone?
We need a picture of the girl, ASAP!

The guy is a scumbag...to this day, you hear some of those Falcons asst. coaches talk about him with pure hatred. He really jacked their lives up, since most of them subsequently had to lose their job as well.
Oh my God.
A man had an affair.
How horrible.

Why are YOU owed an apology at all?

If he loses his job at Arkansas I cannot imagine another team hiring him (though someone probably will). He may know how to win games but seems to leave his teams worse than when he found them.
Of course someone will hire him. The bolded part is all that really matters.
You think Maryland would hire Randy Edsel again over Mike Leach?
The fact this is even an issue for Petrino speaks to the depth of hypocrisy our nation exhibits when it comes to college football.
We want our spectacle but we can't handle the truth of just how dirty college football is.
What percentage of sexual assaults on campuses are perpetrated by college football players?
What percentage of college football teams use steroids, weed, binge drink, etc.?
As a former college football player, I can tell you America should be OUTRAGED.
But no one cares.
I didn't hear any calls for the death penalty after 60 TCU players tested positive.
What's more outrageous, a 51 year old having an affair, or 60 scholarship athletes testing positive?
I'd conservatively estimate 60-70% of ALL college football players would test positive for some PED, or illicit drug if there were random year round drug tests by an independent organization.
Also conservatively, hundreds of women are sexually assaulted by scholarship football players every year.
Check out the recent firing of the Montana head coach.
He shouldn't be fired for having an affair. He should be fired for putting on her the schools payroll for $55,000.00. Why is the AD making the call on his future. I would think the president should fire both these guys. The AD had to be aware that they created this job for her.
Weird that anyone beside those closely involved concern themselves with Bobby Petrino's love life.
This guy's biggest decision is whether to go for it on 4th & 2 or not. He is not a moral leader and shouldnt be looked at like one. Obviously an affair isnt expected but that has no impact on his football coaching ability. Should he be fired? Of course not. The only discipline should come from the school regarding the hiring of this lady toy

If their is some type of morality clause in Petrino's contract or wording that could be "conduct unbecoming" as a representative of the University of Arkansas, you bet yer ass he can get fired and rightly so.
He is gone. I guess now we will see him filing some type of lawsuit.
Petrino gave his mistress $20K, unfairly hired her over 150 applicants. The AD said Petrino "misused his power", "was manipulative", and "knowingly misled" the university.
Good riddance.
Jessica Dorrell was engaged to be married on June 9th. Yep, wanna bet her man is marrying her now?

Ohio State made their deal with the DEVIL and will eventually pay for it.
