Breaking news, apparently Bobby Petrino has resigned as the Atlanta Falcons head coach to take the Arkansas job.

Bobby Petrino going to Arkansas per ESPN

Who said Bobby would not leave after one year? I did think he was leaving early this season. You could just see it in his expression. :BigA:

Beat me to it.

Great, just great.

Re: Petrino to Arky? (Espn Confirmed)

Sorry, CA

Good move on his part in my opinion. Apparently he's been miserable in ATL. He's a college coach through and through. Now he's our competitor. I wonder about his salary.

Not what I wanted to hear from Arky. When will the SEC stop getting tougher?

Wow scooped in my own town.

Can't believe he left that quick and that Michigan didn't get their hat in the ring. The SEC is unbelievable.

:BigA: RTR!

Well, this IS better than Petrino at Auburn but I don't really like the idea of facing him once a year... that part sucks.

When all the fans stop caring... Okay never.

Oh this is wonderful... just another good coach in the SEC.

Then again... how much faith can we have in ESPN? Didn't they report Miles to Meeeeeeechigan before the SEC Championship?

Re: Petrino to Arky? (Espn Confirmed)

I agree the SEC isn't for the faint of heart

:BigA: RTR!

Sorry I posted a minute later. I knew Bobby Petrino would not stay another year. All you had to do was look at the sideline and see the fire was not there. In college he was up and down the sideline. Last night he hardly moved at all. He just could have cared less. JMO. :BigA:

The Miles story isn't over by a long shot. :seeya:

When just thinking about the SEC over the next few years, it kind of makes me cringe because there's no way every team won't be competitive, and it's going to make it all harder. I'm sure as heck glad we have Nick Saban opposed to some other people because a #2 or #3 recruiting class this year is huge in making strides past other teams.

:biga2:

It'll be interesting to see how the media treats him for jumping ship after one year.

I'll bring the airplanes into it, there was a flight departing Drake field in Fayetteville for Fulton County Airport in Atlanta, one coming back to Drake field from PDK(peachtree-DeKalb) airport in Atlanta. Interesting

We shouldn't be concerned at all about petrino after all BAMA has the best coach in the nation.

It is all over the Arky board but there have been so many false reports for Ark.;

If so, the SEC West will be the toughest coaching division anyone can imagine.

I agree with an earlier post. He is a college coach through and through. He will stay at Arky until some big name school comes a callin'. Man the U of M fans have got to be pulling their hair out.

:BigA: RTR!

I am hoping my Falcons get Cowher now. A real coach. Anyways, www.ajc.com, www.espn.com are both reporting

As a Falcons fan, I am not sorry to hear this. As a Bama fan, I don't like it at all. I am surprised that Michigan didn't throw their hat in the ring on this one.
