After being placed on paid leave last week, Arkansas football coach Bobby Petrino has been fired in the wake of a motorbike crash that lifted the lid on his illicit affair with a 25-year-old who he unfairly hired, and then lied to his boss about.
Athletic director Jeff Long announced his decision on Tuesday evening, while detailing an extensive list of wrong-doings that the college head coach had committed during his four years on the job.

University of Arkansas football coach Bobby Petrino has finally admitted to an extra-marital affair after he and his mistress had a motorcycle crash, which left him with broken ribs - and red-faced in more ways than one.
The married Razorbacks coach was placed on paid administrative leave by the school on Thursday, not because of the sexual impropriety but because he lied to athletics director Jeff Long about the accident involving 25-year-old Jessica Dorrell, whom he had hired as a member of the football staff earlier this week.
"My concern was to protect my family and a previous inappropriate relationship from becoming public," said 51-year-old Petrino in a statement, who apologized to his wife, four children and the staff, students and state of Arkansas.
The coach and the pretty blonde former volleyball player came flying off his Harley Davidson in Crosses, Kansas, on Sunday, leaving him with a cracked vertebrae, four bruised ribs and a bruised face.
