Bobby Petrino Twitter

Louisville football coach Bobby Petrino sent a statement on Thursday that attributed some inappropriate Twitter activity on his account to hacking.

Some people on Twitter noticed Wednesday that Petrino’s Twitter account had “liked” a smut tweet.

Here’s the statement Petrino sent in response:

“I was alerted this morning that there was inappropriate material on my official Twitter account. 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.”

Getting caught up in a thing like this typically would be bad news for a coach, but it’s really nothing when you’re used to much worse scandals like Petrino.
