He's entitled to do what he wants I suppose, but-and it's been reiterated across this thread-there's a right way to do things. Petrino lied to his owner, players, and fellow coaches; especially Blank who asked him just before the Saints game if the Arkansas rumor was true. And Petrino lied and said no.
Totally classless.
We really don't know the whole story of what has gone on over the time that he has been the head coach for Atlanta. Maybe he wanted to keep the other QB (forgot his name) and the owner went around him and traded him off getting things started on the wrong foot. I agree that it may not have been handled in the best way but the point I was making that other thing may have been involved.
