Petrino to exit the sinking ship that is the Atlanta Falcons?

fightonusc posted 12/11/2007 from yourfaceisasportsblog.blogspot.com

Just when you thought that it couldn't get any worse...ESPN is reporting that Falcons first-year head coach Bobby Petrino is going to leave the team to become the next head coach at the University of Arkansas. This comes one day after the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported that Petrino had told university officials that he was not interested in leaving the Falcons for the Razorbacks.

Why Bobby Petrino Won't Last at Arkansas

Posted 12/14/2007 on Bleacher Report

I fall on the side of those who aren't so crazy about the Bobby Petrino hire. My personal take is that Petrino is very much an unproven commodity. While he might fit at Arkansas, I don't like his prospects in the SEC as a whole. Here are my doubts...   1. The SEC is a defense FIRST league; Petrino is an offense ONLY coach. Did Petrino ever have even a GOOD defense at Louisville? ...

It didn’t take long for Bobby Petrino to up and quit on his Atlanta Falcons team after Monday night’s loss to the Saints. Less than 24 hours after the game had ended, Petrino had resigned from the Falcons head coach position and had accepted the job to coach at Arkansas next season. It didn’t take long for my opinions about Petrino to stoop to Nick Saban-esque levels. ...
