Bobby Petrino is a whore

Bobby Petrino QUIT last night 13 games into the season and agreed to be the head coach at Arkansas. He's a bitch. You want to talk about commitment issues? This guy is a classic example right out of the Nick Saban mold. Petrino came to Auburn as its offensive coordinator back in 2003. After a year he left for Louisville to become the head coach--certainly a great opportunity for a guy who helped to turn around my Tigers. While in his first year at Louisville he secretly meets with Auburn boosters about become the next head coach of the Tigers and then denies it; only admitting he had met after Auburn issued its own press release. In 2004 he met with Florida, Notre Dame, and Ole Miss about their head coach openings. Then he signs an extension with Louisville only to interview less than a week later with LSU officials about their opening. In 2005 Petrino interviewed with the Oakland Raiders even though he told people he wasn't interested in an NFL job. In 2006 he signs a 10-year extension with the Cardinals only to 5 months later take his show to the Atlanta Falcons.

Then, 13 games into this season--which has been a mess--Petrino abruptly resigns his head coaching job and the same day signs with Arkansas. In his press conference he said leaving the Falcons was difficult. That's bullshit. It was easy for Petrino to bolt--just ask Louisville. And if the guy wasn't enough of a jack ass, he says good bye to the Falcons' players by sending them a letter. That's a real "class" act. At least have the balls to look your players in the eye and explain yourself.

Petrino probably belongs in college football, but Arkansas had better watch their back because Petrino will stab you in the back at his first opportunity. And when a better job opens up--and, Arkansas, their are better jobs--you'd better believe Petrino will have one foot out the door.
