Much better than Art Briles. Bad for SIU though because we might need a new DC
Wow what a hire! Go big or go home.
A lot of scenic routes near Springfield. Bobby's ready to ride again!
They made a big splash, for sure. I suppose it's the kind of hire you make when you're as desperate as they are to turn things around.

If both the Petrino's leave that would be a big loss for SIU. Looked like the D was starting to come around.
They couldn't pay him what he wants, so he gets two girlfriends with motorcycle!
Wow. That's a bold hire by MO State. Look for their recruiting to pickup. As well as the quality of cal girls in Springfield. 😆
When they come to town, if the audio folks don't crank a little Steppenwolf "Get Your Motor Runnin" I'll lose faith in the entire university and it's culture. 😉

That would be "Born To Be Wild."

Craving a McBride Special!
...something about glass houses, stones (and basements, depending on the version) applies here.
And no, I'm not defending Petrino here...in particular the fact that he put his motorcycle-ridin' galpal on the payroll is astonishingly stupid.
But he just got caught. You don't wanna know...
(1) US COVID-19 statistics (February 29, 2020-June 16, 2020): 2,124,000 reported cases and 115,052 deaths
(2) Donald Trump (June 15, 2020) told a group of senior citizens that there would be very few cases of COVID-19 if the US stopped its testing and contact tracing: "If we stop testing right now, we'd have very few cases, actually."
(3) Donald Trump [(Jan 20, 2020), when asked if he's worried about a pandemic]: “No. Not at all. And we have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It’s — going to be just fine.”
Let's hope the 2nd sentence doesn't end up happening.

Sure sounds like a defense of him. Ive never had a mistress. Ive never handed a woman $20k cash to buy a car while wife and four kids sit at home. Ive never hired a mistress to work for me. I havent left a trail of destruction everywhere I worked. Save the glass house lecture. This will not end well for the bears.
Here's a good summary of national sentiment...
With former Baylor coach Art Briles also thrown in the rumor mill, ESPN's Paul Finebaum said, "You're talking about two scum bags here. One is the lesser of two evils. You basically hold your nose and hire Petrino."
USA Today's Dan Wolken said of Briles and Petrino, "Either way, just take a shower and go to bed, Missouri State."
Jason Kersey, a football writer for The Athletic Oklahoma wrote, "Bobby Petrino is a jerk who, once upon a time, hired his mistress to a job she wasn't qualified for and lied to his boss about all of it. Art Briles oversaw a culture of rape at Baylor and still seems to believe he's a victim. If it's between them, hire Petrino."
St. Louis Post-Dispatch writer Ben Frederickson said, "Bear fans should push back. Your team and school is being mocked, for good reason."
