Its been a few months since Razorback nation first learned of Arkansas Head Football Coach Bobby Petrino’s motorcycle accident. At the time of the accident, most were relieved to hear that the coach survived with only some broken ribs. But little did they know that this simple motorcycle accident would break more than just a few ribs. With a women whom Petrino had been having an affair with and whom he had just hired to his football department, the motorcycle accident exposed the coach for what he truly was.
Prior to the accident and news of the affair, Bobby Petrino was the King of Natural State. He had just taken Arkansas to a 10-2 season including a bowl win over Kansas State. In many people’s eyes, he could do absolutely no wrong. After the accident, however, people began to think much differently of the man they once loved so much. Gone were the t-shirts that read Bobby MotherF****** Petrino. Gone was the talk of a possible National Championship. And gone was Bobby Petrino’s job.
The incident involving Bobby Petrino at Arkansas isn’t the first of its caliber and certainly wont be the last. But Petrino’s firing should be a warning to all college coaches. If you win football games, society will love you. If you engage in extramarital affairs, hire your mistress, and lie to your boss about it, you will lose your job and thus, society will have nothing to love you about.
