Careful What You Wish For...

Arkansas got what it wanted on Tuesday evening: A top notch college coach. The problem...He will not be around long enough to fulfill the Razorbacks dreams. As everybody, now, knows, Petrino doesn't stay in one place for very long. Since his hire at Louisville, he has toyed with other jobs in every off season. So it comes as no surprise that he bolted from the Atlanta Falcons. What is a surprise is the way in which he bolted. Petrino, apparently, called in his resignation via cell phone and had a brief, to say the least, meeting with his staff to inform them of his decision. He did not, however, meet with the Atlanta Falcon players. The aforementioned actions can be summed up in one word: CLASSLESS! Maybe I am a little bit biased, seeing as I am a Falcons season ticket holder and if I am, then so be it. He at least could have had the dignity to address his players and offer some kind of explanation. But, what do expect from a man who has made it a habit out lying. Well, I will, at least, say this about Petrino, he is a hell of a college football coach and IF he stays at Arkansas, I have no doubt that he will win there. However, for the time being, I hope that he falls flat on on his face. Good luck Arkansas fans and for your sakes, you should trust Petrino about as far as you can throw him.
