i think petrino got backed into a corner and did what he had to do.
What's that- lie to his boss' face and run out of town with your tail between your legs- not even having the guts to tell anyone face-to-face?
I've been in jobs I wasnt happy with, but that's no reason not to conduct yourself with honor and dignity.
And his agent bringing up the firing of Reeves is a joke. Sure they fired him, but they also had to pay his contract. You can fire my arse today if I walk away with several million bucks. Petrino walked out on the Falcons, leaving them a complete mess, and gave them nothing but a chickens-t goodbye note.
His agent can try, but you cant polish that turd.

Get real, dude. Atlanta was a mess before Petrino arrived, got worse while he was there (see Vick mess), and they will be terrible now that he is gone.
Blank wanted a scapegoat and he got it. Petrino tried to get out, Blank said not no, but hell no.
Quiting on the team is a joke as well. Those players quit on Petrino before the man ever arrived.
As for him wanting to go places. So what? What else is new. A coach is either praised or fired or looking to move up. Going from UL to Auburn or LSU was a move up. Going to Atlanta was get rich way of getting out of UL.
Petrino, unfortunately for us LSU fans, will probably do just fine at Arkansas.
Go tigers.
