A little shocked that they fired him. For the reason they fired him though, not so shocked. Wonder what hurts worse, being fired over an affair with a girl half his age or crashing his bike..........
He's too good of a coach to be out of a job for long.
Look for the Illini to Hire him as an Assitant keep the current one for 2 years dump him and move him up to Head coach. Bag got a Guy that can recruit and has won in the SEC all at the same time.

Well I can guarantee you that he won't croak within a few months.
Wind, this is nothing like the PSU scandal. He wasn't messing around with a child. If anything Boeheim should have been fired before Petrino. The only reason Petrino was fired was because he tried to hide the true details about the bike crash to the AD. The AD did not know that another Arkansas employee was involved until the police report came out.
Well there goes the fun ball at Arkansas. John L Smith was hired to replaced Petrino. He's a good coach but his MO is the grind it out style which is odd because he and Petrino have coached together a few times. Petrino liked to open the game up.
Petrino fired by Arkansas
