Man Dies Saving Child from Riptide, Bobby Petrino fired

A heroic 65-year-old man jumped directly into a powerful Florida riptide and rescued a little girl before suffering a "cardiac event" in the water that led to his death. Alan Hall and his wife saw three children playing near the shoreline as a powerful current began to build. Seconds later, the children started screaming for help. Their parents rushed into the water and were each able to pull a child to safety, but a third child, a little girl, was still in harms way in the rough water. The 65-year-old man jumped into the tide without hesitating. After pushing the child to safety, Alan Hall's heart stopped.

Athletic director Jeff Long fired Petrino on Tuesday night and laid out a stunning laundry list of misdeeds against the man he hired away from the Atlanta Falcons four years ago. ''Coach Petrino abused his authority when over the past few weeks he made a staff decision and personal choices that benefited himself and jeopardized the integrity of the football program,'' Long said.
