I mean, I get it, it is "morally" wrong if you are married. But "controversial"? Seems like a stretch.
been happening since ev found that dang gum apple tree. i saw it my whole career at fortune 500 companies in spite of best efforts to stop it.

Controversy?

I mean, he ****ed a lady he worked with. Not that big of a deal
I live in close proximity to Arkansas fans, and they are very holier than thou towards Petrino. They talk about him like he was Jerry Sandusky, very weird.

The Petrinos are family friends of mine, they aren't the devil's they're made out to be

I don't think he did anything wrong.

Well, except get caught.

I bet none of you can name where Bobby is from. I bet you assume he is a Southerner. He was born in my mother's hometown, Lewistown, Montana where his dad was the high school football coach. His dad moved onto NAIA Carroll College in Helena, MT and that is where Bobby played high school and college football.

I think the big issue was how he tried to cover it up and lying to his AD.
Oh yeah, for sure.

I am guessing he did not even lie to the AD but the reporters that started digging figured it out and then it all got weird.

Truly hilarious!!! Contract reads that he gets a free Harley motorcycle as a signing bonus. All for forgiveness of sins and second chances, but WOW!

yep, the Petrinos are legends in Helena. so is Casey Fitzsimmons. there are worse places to live than Helena, but there are a lot of better places too.

Are you from Montana? I've never lived in Helena, but passing through it seems like a nice small city.

i was born there and my extended family still lives there. i primarily grew up in Alaska then Oklahoma.

helena is very "government town" feeling. its endearing to me because i have nostalgia tied up in it, but other than being a student at Carroll College, it's hard for me to imagine it being a destination for many.

Wow, this is a nice get for them. When you look at it compared to what PU got last year, this is way better. Not sure it will end up getting IU to bowl games or not but on paper, PU fans have to be jealous.

I’m jealous of the teams participating in the coaching carousel

Hope springs eternal until you hire a guy who refuses to use the resources at his disposal (asst coach pool) and has zero experience succeeding in a free agent environment

Here’s to 2028!

I'd still take Walters. He's going to be good once he gets the team rebuilt. The iu guy could be good, but he's 62 and got the keys to a really good FCS program. He's pretty unproven still imo.
