Adios Bobby Petrino

Well the Bobby Petrino experiment is officially over in Atlanta. For those of that haven't heard he resigned yesterday afternoon and in an 11:30 pm et press conference was announced as the new coach of the Arkansas Razorbacks. The announcement came on the heels of Arthur Blank's comments on Monday night that Petrino would be the coach for a long time and that the team's struggles this year were not his fault. Understandably Blank feels betrayed by his former head coach.

The thing that really gets me about the resignation is the fact that Petrino wrote a letter to the team to resign. I mean why can't you have a team meeting? Understandably many members of the team are quite upset today. Check out the picture of what Lawyer Milloy did to his letter. Falcons players - from Milloy to DeAngelo Hall to last year's first round pick out of Arkansas Jamaal Anderson all bashed Petrino today. Not that your players liked you before, but now everyone hates you. Way to quit Bobby.
