Falcons Coach Petrino Quits; Signs with Arkansas

ESPN - Petrino reportedly phones in resignation to Falcons - College Football (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=3150783)

Rebuilding time in the ATL.

I would quit too if I had to coach that team.

Not surprised he left. Thought he'd wait for the season to end though.

Will Bill Musgrave get his chance to be a head coach now?

Wow.

Shit move on his part ducking out before the end of the season.

Ya, not alot of class leaving your team behind before the seasons over. He will never see the NFL again.

God, what is with these college coaches being the lamest people ever? It really started with Spurrier and hasn't abated. Saban turned out to be a scumbag and Les Miles is acting like a jerk too.

Phoning in your resignation to a 3-10 team? Did you expect to win the superbowl the first year? He was going to have a chance to draft a franchise qb - maybe even his boy Brohm - and build the team in his image. I guess he is conceding he doesn't have what it takes to make it in the NFL.

Quitting w/ three games left. Pathetic.

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?

Ya, not alot of class leaving your team behind before the seasons over. He will never see the NFL again.



Huh ??? sorry folks but I think the guy was more than a Gentalman for the birds and he gave way more than he got!!!

eh, good riddance.
