Not that Petrino does not look like a weasel but DeAngelo Hall saying that they laid it all on the line for him and feel so betrayed is ironic to say the least. Hall is a first class dog, the ultimate "me first" athlete.

Just a quick question....Is Bobby P the same to football as Larry Brown is to basketball ?

He is not as loyal as Larry Brown.

i know that many atlanta players didn't like petrino, they're probably glad he's gone.
will the atlanta gm be next?

and petrino absolutely is a weasel. but then, he always has been. two, three years at the most at fayetteville. of course arkansas had a coach a few months ago that backed out the next day. petrino always looking around for another spot, whether it be weeks or months from now.

petrinos career:

his four years with louisville is his longest time in any one spot. and he was looking for something better from day one while he was there.

petrino signed a ten year contract with louisville. six months later he signed a five year deal with atlanta. now he has a five year deal with ark. 20 years worth of signing, on paper not worth anything more than something you could use to wipe your bum.

[Danzig]

and apparently he's been working this deal with arkansas for weeks, since nutt left. so not giving his full attention to the team he was supposed to be leading for weeks. would they be three and nine right now had they had their coaches full attention??

bobby petrino has brought weaselling to a new level.

Agreed that Petrino is a huge weasel, should have waited at until the season was over before he resigned. But, do you think he would have taken the job knowing that he would not have either Vick or Schaub and that Joey Harrington would be your starting QB?

that was basketball, and the guy in question (Dana Altman) is an A+ class act and I think he realized quickly that Creighton was the right place for him and made the correct decision to return. SEC basketball isn't right for a guy like him, he's very much a Mo Valley guy.
