Re: Falcons Coach Petrino Quits: Intends to Sign with Arkansas

He also told his coaches in a 10 second meeting. That's SECONDS, as in a division of a minute. He basically said I am resigning to take the job at Arkansas and walked out of the room. WTF is that?

It's not the realizing that the job wasn't for him. It is the way he went about it. At least the Ole' Ballcoach gave it more than one season.

Losing reveals a lot about a person's character. Much more so than winning. If Terrel Owens won the Super Bowl every year, we wouldn't know what a huge douchebag he is. Now we know about Petrino.

I was thinking the same thing, no matter what they say about Gibbs, don't call him a quitter! Even if he leaves after this year, he'd have put in 4 years of honest work.

You can say a lot of things about Gibbs, but you will NEVER be able to say he's a quitter. I really, really admire that about him.

I'd bet the bank that he returns next year too.
