    All the power was in Petrino's hands. He created the conflict of interest by hiring her. Or is this a projection of how you think most women get jobs?

    You really don't get it, do you?

    Don't get what? She's got that job because she was Petrino's mistress. How is that not a conflict of interest? It's definitely unethical.

    I didn't say that Dooley. Don't put words in my mouth.

    Unethical for him to hire her. How many times are we going to have to go over who the boss was here? She has no duty to reject a job offer. He has a duty not to offer the job.

    Petrino isn't seeking a review of his dismissal and, reportedly, isn't planning on fighting for any of the $18M left on his contract.

    Eighteen million effing dollars. Hope she was worth it.

    Something tells me he'll figure out a way to put food on the table. Even if he's the only one left to eat it.

    What's the point in fighting for his soon-to-be-ex-wife's money?

    This makes me really question whether the AD knew more than he let on at the presser where he fired Petrino:
