Bobby Petrino resigned from the Falcons one day after coaching the wrong end of a blowout on MNF.

He's heading to Arkansas.

Pretty lame move.

now there's talk about whom will take over as the head Coach.....there was alot of Talk about Singletary and seeing if he'd be willing to do so....after all...before they signed Petrino...Singletary was one of their main Guys to run with

The Falcons are falling apart faster than the dolphins are. The dolphins are lookin to clean house and start fresh - the falcons are suffering such poor attendance due to the Vick saga and a horrible season I wouldn't be suprised to see the franchise renamed and moved to LA or San Antonio until Atlanta can rebuild their fan base.

This story had me laughing. No team is going to want to hire a college coach now, because if things go bad they'll bolt back to the NCAA.

After the Nicktator did it to the Dolphins, it was assumed to be a one time thing

Now with Petrino, college coaches graduating to the NFL probably won't happen as much.

The way he did it was funny too. He calls his assistants into his office and goes "Guys. I'm leaving. Tell the team." hahaha. What a tool.

[Raven07]

either that...or they will be VERY hesistant to do such a thing as hiring another College Coach again...

[USF BULLS RAVEN]

Petrino has no class. Are you all aware that Louisville NEVER lost a game while Petrino was their head coach? Yep, Louisville beat themselves every time they had less points on the scoreboard at the end of the game.

This guy refused to give Jim Leavitt any credit for coming out of nowhere to THUMP his #9 ranked Cardinals 45-14 a few years ago in Raymond James Stadium...maybe he freaked out and didn't want to go back this week against the Bucs?

[Raven07]

sheesh.......they got a winner all right

[Jamal]

Thats why you should never hire a coach from College.

[ragnorok99]

I personally think Petrino has the most infuriating face in the world.

He reminds me of a leprechaun, except not cool.

[JonM229]

He totally pulled a Saban. Even though he never denied leaving, taking off with two games left is pretty sleazy.

[Raven07]

haha you think he would be able to dress up in a green outfit and dance around shouting....catch me if you can NFL! hehehehe"........if he did do something like that...i would have to say something like " uhh no, how about you go back to the village..with the rest!" meaning the rest of the College coaches that tried to coach in the NFL but couldnt seem to get it right. no matter what they did.

[smashmouth82]

he's a coward and i hope he has the hardest of times getting any quality recruits to play for him!

[Raven07]

well if he decides to try the NFL coaching scen again...i would imagine that it would be a little more difficult after what he showed.......i mean he didnt even wait until the season was over and done with...he just up and bolted for arkansas....wow..that shows you just how much of a "man" he is..and how much "character" he has....

[BrownsFan]

He will never get any kind of NFL coaching job again after what he did. I have nothing against Arkansas but I hope they suck and suck eternally while he is there so he can be fired.

[JonM229]

Wasn't Houston Nutt enough of a sleaze? They have to go even lower.

[Raven07]

is it even possible to go lower than crap? lol apparently so!
