The former Arkansas and Atlanta Falcons head coach Bobby Petrino left both his former teams in somewhat of a mess, of course leaving the Razorbacks after failing to disclose an inappropriate relationship with a female staffer. Now rehabbing his image at Louisville, Petrino’s Twitter account had some unusual activity late Wednesday night, as it liked an adult Twitter post.
Petrino quickly issued a statement Thursday morning explaining the mishap.
“I was alerted this morning that there was inappropriate material on my official Twitter account,” Petrino said in the statement. “While the account is generally under my supervision, there are multiple people, and possibly an unauthorized user, who have access to my account. We’ve always taken the appropriate steps to make sure our official social media accounts are secure and are we taking measures to make sure this situation never happens again.”
Petrino claims he was either “hacked” or someone else he left in charge of the account liked the inappropriate tweet. You can see the screen shot here.
Most figure Petrino and Louisville to make some noise in the ACC this season.
