Petrino resigns

and take a million dollar paycut just to get out of Atlanta, and become the new Arkansas coach.

  • now watch them hire Chan Gailey image
  • He leaves a struggling franchise like Atlanta to go to a college job that is so unappealing that three coaches have turned it
    down already?

    I wonder if he will attend his alma-mater's championship game Saturday now that he isn't working?

    Bill Callahan is available. I hear he is a defensive genius!
  • Smart man!! I would cut and run too. I live in Atlanta and watch that mess every week. The best part is still to come.......on draft day! Who are the most talked about players the Falcons want to draft? Brian Brohm and Darren McFadden! Brian Brohm is a friend of Petrino and Petrino is now in Arkansas with Darren McFadden. My guess is that he's probably giving them the inside scoop on the team. I'm thinking they'll pull an Eli Manning on draft day!

    Yeah, he sounds like a good man from all of the reports I've read! He likes to show his true loyalty everywhere he goes. What a snake. I'll be rooting for Arkansas to go 0-11 next year...
  • He lied to the owner on the day he left when he asked him directly if he was leaving and he wasen't man enough to face the Falcons
    players to tell them to their face but just left a letter behind.

    What a role model to the students on the Arkansas team, wouldn't you love this guy to come to your home on a recruiting trip to talk to your kid about hard work, dedication, trust and all of the other things that are supposed to be a part of a college team?

    Nice move leaving form letters to his players. One of them crossed off his name and wrote "Coward".
  • Don't fool yourselves. The Falcons players don't care that he didn't show up. They didn't show up to play all year, why should he show up to let them know he's leaving?
  • So he left UofL after a one loss season, to go to the felcons where he couldn't even finish a season? Then he headed to Arkansas? Wonder if he will screw them like he did all the other places he has worked? Even if he came back to Louisville, the fans here wouldn't accept him, they hate him now. Good football coach, but carries himself like a coward. I would say he's a snake, but I like snakes.
