Someone made the comment that college coaches are jerks and really dodgy...Spurrier, Saban, Les Miles, Petrino. Different sport but let's not forget Donovan. That was one of the biggest cop outs, I've ever heard of. Now look at the Orlando Magic, they are looking really good this year and I hope Donovan never gets back to the final four. He said he cried about the decision. FOR GOD'S SAKE, u are a grown ass man. Learn to evaluate a decision, make the right one, and stick with it. Chump

As for Petrino, his rap is that he can never stick around in a place for more than a few years so the Falcons had to have known about the risk. I thought it was funny that Arthur Blank was the guest on MNF in the booth this week and he made the comment that he was more confident over hiring Petrino now (2 days ago) than he was before the season started. The big picture is that the falcons are probably better off that Petrino resigned now rather than in the middle of hte offseason or even worse after the draft. At least they can start the rebuilding process and righting the ship as soon as possible. If u r a falcons fan, what do you have to look forward to though?
