Bobby P to the Hogs

[packerbacker7964]

Yes now we're getting somewhere on the search. Reported to be the Hogs New Head Coach.

What's everyone saying Danzig? Oh I'm ready to see how we do now in the Cotton Bowl for sure now.

supposedly petrino got a big welcome. which is good, as his exit from atlanta is as classless as you can get.
maybe he'll take some of the attention away from a coach a bit further south.

i hope arkansas doesn't invest too much in petrino, who seemingly spends all his time looking for something better. i hope they fall flat on their face, after running off someone who got them further along in the last ten years then they had been in quite some time. and now they get someone who hasn't even got the spine to give his resignation in person. ugh.

Not that Petrino does not look like a weasel but DeAngelo Hall saying that they laid it all on the line for him and feel so betrayed is ironic to say the least. Hall is a first class dog, the ultimate "me first" athlete.

Just a quick question....Is Bobby P the same to football as Larry Brown is to basketball ?

He is not as loyal as Larry Brown.

i know that many atlanta players didn't like petrino, they're probably glad he's gone.
will the atlanta gm be next?

and petrino absolutely is a weasel. but then, he always has been. two, three years at the most at fayetteville. of course arkansas had a coach a few months ago that backed out the next day. petrino always looking around for another spot, whether it be weeks or months from now.

petrinos career:

his four years with louisville is his longest time in any one spot. and he was looking for something better from day one while he was there.

petrino signed a ten year contract with louisville. six months later he signed a five year deal with atlanta. now he has a five year deal with ark. 20 years worth of signing, on paper not worth anything more than something you could use to wipe your bum.

that was basketball, and the guy in question (Dana Altman) is an A+ class act and I think he realized quickly that Creighton was the right place for him and made the correct decision to return. SEC basketball isn't right for a guy like him, he's very much a Mo Valley guy.
