Petrino's antics at the University of Arkansas that landed him on this list happened before the season actually began. But they were so egregious he had to be on this list.
Let's summarize.
He had an affair with a former Razorback volleyball player. A considerably younger tall blond that he also put on the university payroll as an assistant on the football staff. FYI. Her husband also worked in the Arkansas athletic department.
It doesn't end there.
Petrino was in a motorcycle accident with the previosly mentioned blond on the back of his bike. Without a helmet on. Did you get that last sentence? The most famous man in Arkansas is riding around Fayetteville with said blond on his bike for everyone to see. Talk about brazen. Then he lied to Arkansas athletic director Jeff Long about the accident and the affair. He eventually came clean with Long, but it was too late. He lost his job and his credibility. Petrino was building Arkansas in to a national power. The Razorbacks were ranked number three by most experts before the season began. Petrino was rolling. Recruiting was at an all time high. He had it all going his way.
It's now Thanksgiving, Petrino is unemployed and Arkansas is 4-7. Smith would have been higher on the list but this turkey's work happened before the season began. Gobble Gobble.
America's great holiday is here. And so are the biggest turkeys of the college football season.
Some of our turkeys came before the season started. Others just recently made the news. Either way, they are all deserving of this honor.
Without further ado, here's your list. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
