Bockrath was a horrible AD. His mismanaged a lot of situations. He was also the one who hired DuBose and that might have had a lot to do with him being fired over DuBose’s crap. Being that Long is the one who hired Petrino, it’s probably the smart move to clean up your own mistakes rather than leaving it to someone else to clean you up. If there is any sort of great outcry from Razorback fans over that then that’s fine. They’ll get over it fairly quickly especially if Petrino’s replacement is high quality.

If Petrino is not fired, than they might as well tear up all contracts and throw them away!

Don’t forget there are many people that are greater fans of the University than the football team. While they may not call the hogs as loudly, they are influential and. as taxpayers, important employers of the chancellor and ad. They will be considered in every decision regarding the University’s reputation and employee conduct. I hope they will be considered in all the media bantering as well.

being a vol fan, i remember all too well the bruce pearl fiasco. i can sympathize with hog fans. but, petrino, like pearl, has placed himself beyond what is acceptable if the university is going to hold itself out as anything more than an nfl farm team. arkansas has a firmer, surer hand to guide it in long. tennessee’s torment was unnecessarily prolonged because of its clueless, gutless a.d. at the time. the sooner this boil is lanced, the better. arkansas has got to remember that the program and the university are greater than any one coach or player. tennessee wasted a year reminding itself of that fact.
