Wow. What a scumbag.

That's the thing that gets me. Be a man, come forward with your concerns (which he did allegedly), and if it still doesn't blow your dress up, negotiate an exit. Don't freakin' lie directly to the face of your boss and then bail! Petrino is a puss for sneaking out like he did. Kinda reminds me of the Baltimore Colts leaving in the darkness of night.
