Falcons Coach Petrino Quits; Signs with Arkansas

[BDBohnzie]

Perhaps Petrino was caught up in the glitz and glamour of the NFL when he took the job this past offseason. He was hired in January, Schaub was traded in March, Vick's operation was raided in April, and the team just lost it's 2 quarterbacks, and probably one of the reasons Petrino came to Atlanta in the first place.

1-6 going into the bye week and the players pretty much shut down for the year. The team's been in the headlines all year courtesy of Vick and an owner who openly criticizes the team and his coaching, and it became too much for Petrino.

While I don't blame him for leaving and taking another job (Nick Saban really set a tone for this kind of thing), I really wouldn't expect to see Petrino back in the NFL any time soon, if ever again.
