The House of Blue

It does not require a lawsuit to put an employer on notice. The lawsuit (or lack of lawsuit) has no bearing on potential employers because it doesn't require a lawsuit to be on notice.

What evidence are you talking about? Hiring his mistress? Is there some factual dispute as to whether or not that happened? Sexual harassment is not a simple proposition, as there are several things that can be made the basis of a sexual harassment claim. The fact that acts happened that can be (or could have been) the basis of a sexual harassment claim serves as notice.

It doesn't matter if I think he'll do it again. It matters if the person doing the hiring thinks he will do it again, or if allegations that he did it again are worth the risk given his coaching ability. I've never said he was unhireable. I've said that administrators of institutions funded by tax dollars are going to be cautious about hiring him. It is not just trusting him not to do it again, it is the conscious decision to hire him despite his prior problems that can also be the basis of liability or the loss of an affirmative defense.

Again: He isn't untouchable. But there are serious issues that may prevent his hiring anywhere.

I only have one source, and I didn't believe this thread the last couple days, but my source (huuuuuge booster) just texted me that Bobby Petrino "is" the next head coach at uk, it's already done... The op is correct, Idk anything about two weeks, or whatever, but he's the guy. Official! Not sure when it will be announced....

Shepp. I think we are wasting our time. Some would argue with a wall and make up stuff to do so. I honestly can't believe people think that you just get a contract set in stone in a couple of days, especially a self pro-claimed lawyer.

No one said anything about a contract other that the fact that there is no contract or wording in a contract that would protect the university from potential legal liability should BP make yet another foolish decision...which is a fact.

I do not for a second believe BP is going to coach UK, but I admit anything is possible. However, it is an absolute 100% fact that he was NOT hired 2 weeks ago. That did not happen...period.

I haven't seen Matt or Chris say anything in weeks lol. So I don't even know what that part means honestly. Just passing the info along in a way that people can actually see it, doesn't make a difference to me if anyone believes me, or if the source turns out wrong, but this sounds like a pure lock, and I am just as shocked. .... Go cats

Nice!

You obviously don't understand the ramifications of what BP exposed, not just the University, but the entire state of Arkansas to. He open them up to a multimillion dollar lawsuit. They are lucky the young lady went away quietly.
Not to mention what would have happened if one of the other potential candidates for her job had decided to go after the school for unlawful and descriminatory hiring practices.
That's what is wrong with what he did.
And that MAY only be Arkansas.

Haha... thanks. Just my way of telling everyone to relax and stop getting all bent out of shape over what people are posting. Some have legitimate sources and some don't... some are on here just to bullshit and some aren't. Everyone has their opinions, but no one knows anyone well enough to make false accusations... or label someone a "liar". Let's all just hope for the best and be ready to support whoever it is we get as our next HC... be it Bobby Petrino, Butch Jones, Phil Fulmer or Burt Reynolds. (don't laugh... if he can win with a bunch of misfits in a prison yard, with Chris Rock as an assistant and Adam Sandler as QB... then, he can win at UK).

I just want it to be over already... GO BIG BLUE!

The Greer Facebook post has thrown more gas on the Petrino fire.
Son of highly respected booster says Petrino to UK - then "whoops no that was just a joke" A joke or a premature disclosure? who knows but the media has now wadded into the middle of it.

High drama tonight.

And I say again, people will gravitate toward the information they want to believe, not necessarily the information they believe to be true.

If you weren't trying to goat people into paying to read your opinion maybe that would hold water. Nothing against you personally. I understand you're trying to make money with this site. Just don't blame us for what we discuss when you won't provide anything else to the discussion.

Man has that become true of late. It all started when Mr. Two First Names came around. Pretty sure he's the culprit. Chris used to not be that way. Its had a hand in hurting the site.

Lets keep this thread at the top of the board so we can learn some lessons from it. Pure comedy too. This is fun.
