Falcons Coach Petrino Quits; Signs with Arkansas

i really dont blame him. he signed for the team assuming theyd have vick, probably the main reason he signed with them.

what a pathetic loser! It's one thing to quit at the end of the season but that is a cowardly,classless move! I hate quitters no more NFL for you!!!

i guess ole artie blank has a really sore ass now aye?first the vick situation and now this!

Other than Mackay, I can only think of failures - Lou Holtz, Butch Davis, Pete Carroll, John Robinson, Rich Brooks to name a few

do'nt forget the ole ball coach himself steve spurrier!did'nt parcells come into the league from being a college coach?

He was head coach at Air Force in 78 before becoming Def Coord for the Giants. I think Perkins was their HC then.

I sware coaches seem to be really good at one things these days......feeding us bullshit. I use to love watching the SEC coaching shows before class a few years ago on FSN. I've never seen a show display so little enthusiasm not to mention minimal use of the english language.

"Yeah that was good play."
"Yeah hes playing hard right now hes having a good year."
"Coach your 0-6 how do you feel about that?" "Well its a position we don't want to be in but we've done some good things over the pass couple of weeks."

Personally I didn't have a problem with the way the coach portryated their teams. What I disliked was putting someone in a position to give an opinion when you know that they can't tell you anything of value. Alright now I have no idea why I brought that up but I still stick to my original point.

who cares about them anyway.....besides who wouldnt quit you signed on thinking you'd have the most explosive player in football to lose him..then lose 10 out of 13..its not getting better anytime soon this or next year so opt out....flipside though it sucks for all these teams when coaches leave the team hanging..i.e. the nick saban rule

Why is it pathetic? So what if he decides to leave? If you're stuck in a shit job, where is it written you have to stay for a certain length of time?

An owner of a team certainly has the right to fire a coach midseason. Why isn't the opposite true?

This was a classless move. Howabout all of the coaches, players and their families that moved here to coach and play for him and the Falcons. What makes it even worse is 24 hours earlier he said he wasn't talking to the Razorbacks.

Classless, atleast Spurrier worked two full season as did Nick Szabon.

Granted Vick wasn't sentenced until Monday, but it's not like he hasn't known for months now he wouldn't have Vick. Bottom line, there's a right way to do things and Petrino didn't do it that way.

Les Miles is acting like a jerk too.


im still undecided about miles... we'll see what happens. every day that michigan doesn't have a new head coach i think more and more miles may take that job, but i'll be impressed if he doesnt.
