Plus as soon as they fail there is 40 or 50 colleges who will hire the guy away from your team.

Heres what I don't understand: With this guy's history of doing this didn't the falcons put a penalty into the contract? If so, then who is paying for the penalty? I'd be pissed if I was an Arkansas alum or student and found out in addition to his salary we had to pay the falcons a few million to get him out of that contract.
That all goes on the front office of the Falcons. They definitely should have put something in his contract along those lines and from what I've heard they didn't, and their GM Rich McKay is an attorney so you think he would have known better to protect the Falcons best interests!
