    Anything is possible.

    Knowing how most football coaches are, I'm guessing he orchestrated 95 percent of it, but anything is possible.

    No, she won't. This was not a tenure track position. These types positions are let go on a year to year basis all the time. If Petrino went 3-9 and got fired for losing, would the new coach be obligated to keep her? That's why they will pay her the sum total of her one year salary, and nothing else, in exchange for a gag order and covenant for both sides not to sue each other. (the candidates who should have been hired have a cause of action against the University, which in turn would bring Ms. Dorrell in as a third party defendant. Arkansas indemnifying her against that will be part of the consideration for the deal).
    The one card that others have mentioned is the threat of the interview with ESPN or others. (the Gloria Allred "this isn't extortion because I have a law license" strategy). Not trying to be naive here, but what could she say at this point? She was sleeping with a guy who they fired? And?

    Paging Starman: Steve Mariucci's name has emerged as a candidate at Arkansas.

    Nah, you've got it all mixed up.

    Marinelli and Martz were the people I had a real hate-on for, in addition to Matt Millen, of course. Mooch I don't much care either way.

    I think Mooch has burned through the Lions buyout money and come to the conclusion if he ever wants to get back into coaching, at all, he better do it soon.

    Iit does not matter if it was a track tenure position. If she had gotten the job as a janitor the same conditions would apply, fire her without cause and get set to pay. I think you are way off in your whole 3rd part defendant thing, she had no responsibility to/for the other candidiates.

    I've been confused by the tone of Travis' tweet ever since he sent it. Was he simply being an off-the-cuff Twitter wiseass or was he being an actual reporter with a legit source telling him those pics of the Lil' Jobhopper are forthcoming?
