And how is him quiting a professional team that is 3-10 any different than Rich Rodriguez quitting his BCS Bowl team and leaving his ala mater for more money at Michigan? I just fail to understand how they are aren't the same thing. I am not condoning either guy but it seems like one guys is getting killed while the other one is getting off the hook. And why is no one coming down on the real culprits, the college presidents, who are forcing these guys to leave a few weeks before the seasons are finished? Would it be so hard for the scum bags at the NCAA to pass a rule that you cant hire another teams head coach until after everyones season is over?

petrino quit on his team in mid season. players found out he was leaving from interim coach. spurrier,saban,rodriguez left after season but before contracts was finished.

Well RR did not leave after the season was over.

I hate to tell you this Delta but the Falcons season was over as soon as Vick got busted and the mid season in the NFL is the last week of October not the second week of December. And Rodriguez's team still has its biggest game yet to play so it is hard to say it is after the season for them.
