Bobby P to the Hogs

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?

i just think the timing was odd, that they had already acknowledged they needed to go after a qb in the draft, and the owner said in the midst of the game monday that if the coach said give the new guy a year to work in, he was all for it. that he understood what was required, that next year would be a building year, and he was happy to have such a good coach running this team, and with him for the long haul. oops


it's just petrinos nature. if the team did really bad (which is what happened) he'd go elsewhere. if the team did really well, he'd be looking to make it work for him for the better--that worked so well for him at louisville. it's not blanks fault, or the gm, or the team, or what they could accomplish. it's petrinos character.

I'm sure Arkansas told him either come now or we are going in a different direction. And I'm pretty confident that Atlanta would suck regardless of the coaches attention being diverted. And I still find the most amusing part is DeAngelo Hall's comments since he is a grade 1 coach killer.

Petrino will win at Arkansas. Maybe not nat'l titles or annual BCS bowl games or what the Arky fans want, but he is a good college coach.

Exactly. If looking for a better deal were a crime, just about every coach and assistant in the country would be guilty. Not just in football either.

Reports are out there that Lane Kiffin was reportedly "pissed" that he didn't get hired as the head coach of Arkansas.

All this for Arkansas? There have been multiple reports that Kiffin isn't thrilled with being in Oakland. It could be one and done for him there also.

i'm using his searching for a new job every year while at louisville as a pretty good indicator of his mode of operation.
he is not content anywhere. there's always greener grass...right...over...there...
