That is not true.
Petrino and his wife, the former Becky Schaff, have four children: Kelsey, Nick, Bobby and Katie. Coach Petrino has a granddaughter (Brianna) and a grandson (Braylon).
>>>Maybe I’m missing something here. Are foosball coaches not allowed to be normal human beings? Does everybody lose their job if they have an affair?
No, I think this more likely has to do with the 159 potential lawsuits from applicants for the job that Bobby Petrino offered to his mistress.
This person had no reason to lie to me. Nevertheless it’s a mess. Arky did the right thing although I’m surprised to did it.
According to ESPN it was a possibility thrown at Bobby and he didn’t bite. So yeah, it could have been true.
It has to do with lying to everyone including coaches, players, family and friends. He was having an affair for a pretty long time and then hired her as someone who would have constant contact with him on a daily basis. Plus, his girlfriend’s fiancé also coached Olymphics at U of A down the hall from them both.
Then to top it off he said that he couldn’t be fired because he was bigger than Razorback football per ESPN new conference.
Yeah, they're called facts. You don't lie and mislead your employer. Usually that's worse than the crime. It ultimately led to his termination.
Q: Was Petrino acting as though he was bigger than the program? Long: Yes, that is what I was trying to convey.

He might not have lied but he doesn’t know what he is talking about.
Jeff Long didn’t offer and Petrino didn’t want any compromise, period. Petrino said he was bigger than the program this morning and didn’t think he could be fired.
Mrs. Petrino “helped” Bobby pick out the helmet? Where did you get that info?
If that’s true it means this little ride happened on the “sperm” of the moment, as Archie Bunker would say. He says “Hey, babe, wanta’ go for a ride on my crotch rocket?”
“I don’t have a helmet.”
“You can wear mine. It doesn’t fit me anyway. I doubt there’s a helmet in Arkansas big enough for my head.”
Petrino is pissed because he told Jeff Long this morning he couldn’t be fired because he was bigger than the program.
It’s all over the place, news stories, radio sports shows, etc.......
Bobby Bowden should be rested and ready plus he has an impeccable record of honesty.
As I understand it Paul Petrino is under contract. Just ‘cause his brother got fired doesn’t mean he will be. Thought he probably will be next spring but he will get his paycheck. And I doubt his big brother gave him a contract that said “If I screw up, you’re going with me”.
I wish Garrick McGhee had stayed a while longer. Of course, he “knew” Petrino would be there as long as he wanted so if he wanted a head coaching position he’d better take what was offered. And I hope he has more dignity than Petrino. So, if Arkansas goes after him I’d respect him if he lives up to his commitment and turns it down. If they offer to hire him and he accepts he’ll be doing the same thing Petrino did at his previous two jobs.
Isn’t Arkansas State’s coach considered a pretty hot property, or has he already moved on?
I guess that would be a big jump tho.
Who does he think he is...Bill Clinton or Ted Kennedy?
