Petrino to Arkansas

[doozer]

on ESPN now.

 

[doozer]

reported by John Clayton on SC.

 

[XtennesseeX]

Yes. Just saw that. :no:

 

[kptvol]

One crappy situation to another.

 

[volsgal03]

I just saw this also. wow

 

[VolDad]

Atlanta local news is reporting Atlanta Falcons HC Bobby Petrino will be resigning to take the HC position at Arkansas

 

[NOLAVolfan]

Wow. One and done for ol' Bobby in the NFL? I know the Falcons were a trainwreck with Vick, but that's a bit surprising.

 

[ledhed43]

Just saw it on ESPN. How many good coaches can this league get?

Less than one. He will probably leave before the season is over.

 

[volinbham]

Interesting - how much longer is Arky on our sched?

 

[rexvol]

this sucks.....Arkansas just got a whole lot better

 

[volsgal03]

Petrino said he would have been interested in LSU job if Miles would have left.

Holy Crap!

ESPN - Sources: Petrino leaving NFL for Arkansas job - College Football

 

[MontereyVol]

Well, I would say he has his work cut out for him!

 

[ledhed43]

The cupboard is bare, but it was bare when he took over l'ville too. Too bad we just finished our series with them, by the time we see them again he will have it reloaded.

 

[doozer]

i dropped this news first over in the sports forum.

this is significant because LG, while i'm sure already knew this, didn't announce it before me.

 

[FulmersSidelineGrimace]

Well I bet Mustain is kicking himself right about now, he would have been perfect in his system...

He'll have some name players for sure. But this HC thing in the SEC is getting ridiculous. Recruiting is going to be harder and harder. He'll be competing mostly with Saban, Miles? and Brown

we just got done with their rotation. they'll prolly be back on it in about 4 more years, unless we meet in the sec title game at some point.

I don't feel bad for him. He can ride the bench at USC and still be a draft pick.

Once again, another SEC team improves themselves at the coaching position and we are still stuck with Phil. Before it's over, we may be dead last in the SEC before anyone has the gumption to fire his stubborn, conservative,stuck in the 80's, noncoaching %$*. Why do we feel we owe our lives to Fulmer?????

 

[CSpindizzy]

While I wish he'd stay with the Falcons, this team is just flat out trainwreck.

He needs to make a good dc hire or he will be in trouble fast. I think the head coaches and the level of competition will help the league draw more recruits from other regions. Having all these guys cannot be bad for the league. It might be bad for UT but the SEC will be fine.

Patrino doesn't scare me.

To put a positive spin on this. By the time we get a new coach all the other coaches in the SEC will be old news and fans calling for their heads on their gimmicky offenses.
