Coaching carousel in full spin...

Petrino ends his tenure with the Falcons with a 3-10 record. Coincidentally, that is also the career NFL coaching record of Lou Holtz, who left the Jets before the end of his first season, also to coach Arkansas.
 
I watched the press conference and have no respect for Petrino. It was like a politician speaking-speak a sentence and then wait for applause, speak another sentence and wait for applause, and so on. He's just as bad as Saban IMO. What a joke.

From the article:

Petrino called a Falcons staff meeting late Tuesday afternoon, a meeting which last about 10 seconds, sources said.

"He just said to us, 'Guys I've resigned, I'm going to Arkansas. I'm sorry. I'll be talking with you guys in the future.' And with that he turned and walked out the door. We haven't been told anything else," said one assistant coach.

At this point, the assistant coaches have not been told who will be coaching the team going forward.

Petrino did not address the Falcons following his resignation. Players are livid with the way Petrino left the team and several called his handling of the situation "classless."

It has to be. Think about it; He's leaving a job in the NFL that pays more to coach in a backwater college town in the middle of nowhere. I think that says more about how much it must suck in Atlanta than anything about how great Arkansas is.
 
Well it looks like Petrino has redefined the standards for mercenary coaches. Leaving the Falcons after less than one year just ended his NFL coaching career permanently. I am sure this will all catch up to him one day. You don't bite the hand that feeds you like that. Well, Hogfan can enjoy the ride for the next 10-46 months, I have no doubt Petrino will do well, however long he hangs around.

i'd say his 41-9 college record will take a hit, especially without Monk and McFadden and maybe even Jones.

Arky fans are taking a beating on their board. People are piling on saying Petrino was universally hated at Atlanta, Louisville and is just a shade above your common streetwalker. Pretty brutal. You'd think people would let the Hogfans enjoy their day in the sun.:confused:

Looks like they still have one or two non-con games to schedule. Did *uckbraska leave any cupcakes for Petrino to line up??

I wouldn't be at all surprised if either Texass or Aggie gets a phone call soon about what it would take to cancel one of those games... :huh:

I hope Tuberville makes him pay for trying to take his job a few years ago.

Doesn't make much sense does it?! I guess that just goes to show you that money isn't everything sometimes and that happiness is more important.
 
Okie lite has lost their OC to So. Miss. Fedora was named HC today at S. Miss. Anybody have any idea who will take over as OC for Fedora?

Go Lions!

the lions don't have a bad franchise per say, they just have an ignorant GM, i honestly think my wife could run the team better than millen.

i'm hoping they lose out and WCF realizes he messed up with matt and looks in another direction, maybe he can borrow dave dombroski :)

The Lions have more skill players. Martz has probably gotten all he can get out of Kitna. I think they are just a few pieces away from being really good.

The Dolphins are in a deep hole. Certainly they will have the first overall pick and they need a QB unless the new kid plays well (first game 2 weeks ago). Problem is that none of the QBs that should be in this draft have name recognition. Adrian McPherson is probably the best player. But Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown are already in the backfield. They might take Dorsey though and they'll need a WR to replace Chambers and Welker and to compliment Ginn.

They got problems.
 
Fedora (former OSU OC) formally announced HC at So. Miss. Sumlin (former OU OC)formally announced HC at Houston High. Jerry Kill, one of the CSU frontrunners named No. Illinois HC, resigning his post at So. Illinois. That seems kind of weird, is there a difference between No. and So. Illinois?

UCLA and Michigan still shopping. Michigan's coaching search looks like a mess so far. Maybe they can still pull a rabbit out of the hat. We'll see. One interesting name still on Michigan's radar is Pinkel. I don't see that happening but it is looking more and more like they are waiting on something or somebody.

NIU is a step up in classification. Plus his pay was doubled. Seems like a pretty good move to me.

Am I crazy, or isn't Adrian McPherson the old FSU quarterback that got tossed out of school? And isn't he with the Saints these days?? :confused::confused:

I'm thinking you meant Darren McFadden is the best player. Right?? :confused:
