Ben Wilkerson was a finalist for the job that Petrino gave to his mistress

According to his resume, Wilkerson completed a master's degree in sports management at LSU in August 2011. He also had the most extensive football background. Wilkerson was a four-year starter at offensive line at LSU, from 2001 to '04. He was part of the school's 2004 national championship team and was named a first-team All-America. He went on to play for the Cincinnati Bengals in 2005 and '06, and for the Atlanta Falcons in 2007 and '08. Petrino was Atlanta's head coach in '07. At the time he applied for the Arkansas job, Wilkerson was an intern with the LSU football program. Wilkerson, who joined Grambling State as offensive line coach this month, did not want to comment specifically on the Arkansas situation. "I'm ready to just go on," he told SI.com. "Of course I interviewed for the position, but I'd rather not discuss it because of the whole thing ... I'm starting a new job now and that's my focal point."
Polite says he is disappointed that Wilkerson, who is African-American, was apparently the runner-up in an unfair process. There is "a lack of representation of African-American males in player development positions ... hiring is often not based on merit."

Yes...but Petrino was fricking her!
He didn't give two-shits about who was more experienced for the position, he just wanted the person who was experienced in various positions.

When the choice is between two in a "disadvantaged" class, the skirt is gonna win.

Does he think a white guy would have gotten it? No Guy was getting that job. Bens interview was a formality. Bmfp just wanted to dump his loads into this broad and no perfect resume from anyone could have changed that.

Reminds me an interview I went to years ago. Before I was supposed to go in, this tall, leggy brunette in a short skirt walked out. The other guy in the room said "frick it, we are out" He was right.

Ben should have kept things with petrino on the "down low" if you know what I mean...maybe he would have gotten the job....petrino would have needed a bigger motorcycle

Looks like the makings of another lawsuit.

nah, that'll scare away future employers from even interviewing Ben
his career is going much higher than that crappy Arky job, which isn't worth giving two shits about

Can't blame Petrino she was pretty hot. Not worth ruining your life. 3 mil a year and family over but pretty hot!
