Bobby Petrino, Jessica Dorrell Relationship Detailed In Notes By Arkansas AD Jeff Long

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Former Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino sent candy to his mistress, called her a "close friend" and suggested the affair that cost him his job started with a kiss over lunch last fall, according to documents released Thursday.

Those details were in handwritten notes kept by a seemingly skeptical athletic director Jeff Long during his investigation of Petrino, who was fired last week. The notes were released as part of a Freedom of Information Act request made by the Associated Press.

Long's thoughts are detailed in 25 pages of notes kept during meetings with the 51-year-old Petrino on April 10, and also with Jessica Dorrell, the 25-year-old football department employee the coach hired without disclosing their relationship.        More Read
