Louisville football coach Bobby Petrino denies that he "liked" a pornographic website on his Twitter feed and said other people have access to his account.
Petrino issued a statement Thursday morning after learning of the situation in which his account liked a tweet with a sexually suggestive message on Wednesday.
"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 we are taking measures to make sure this situation never happens again."
Petrino is beginning his third season of his second stint as Louisville coach. A school spokesman said that Petrino hasn't been on the Twitter account since fall camp began on Aug. 3.
Petrino, who is married, was fired by Arkansas in 2012 due to an affair he was having with staff member Jessica Dorrell. The improper relationship came to light after the two were involved in a motorcycle accident.
Petrino initially tried to cover up that Dorrell was with him on the motorcycle and was eventually terminated by athletic director Jeff Long.
