Agree about better college coaching vacancies being available, but hell, he also could've stayed in the ATL.

Falcons are starting to look like they're for real.

Petrino is staying.


All I've heard coming from Arkansas is that Petrino and his staff think that they can re-awaken our once-proud program. By all accounts his family is very content, his kids are happy in school, and he is very confident that he can turn us back into a national power.

But you nay-sayers keep on yapping.

That is the same line of bull that he gave Louisville before he left for the Falcons

I will post this again.

It will cost about 14million for a team to take bobby petrino for 1 year.

11 million buyout+3million=14 million for his 1st year

Buyouts don't matter to him:

quote:

• On July 13, 2006, Petrino signed a 10-year contract worth up to $25 million -- a staggering deal for a school of Louisville's modest football heritage and fan base. The day he signed it, Petrino vowed again that Louisville was home. He made a point of insisting that a $1 million buyout provision be put into the contract, putting his money where his dissembling mouth is.

theres a big difference between a 1 million dollar buyout and a 11 million buyout kige.

I could be wrong but I think petrino has the biggest buyout in college football.

I expect him to leave in a couple of years but I don't see him leaving this year.

How so? He said basically the exact same thing, then left.

You seriously can't sit here and defend his integrity (since there is none there).

I could care less if he stays there or leaves. Arkansas won't ever be a consistent power in the SEC.

Did you hear him then ? Do you know anyone that knows him now?

When did we discuss his integrity? I merely stated that he isn't leaving soon. Nothing more.

I'm correct, BTW

Then why argue since you do not care, and are uninformed on this subject?

Keep telling yourself that. Petrino disagrees w/ you FWIW.

It appears that him leaving benefited both Arkansas and the Falcons.

Its too early to say that he jumped the gun. But I'd have to say that we will hear his name thrown around quite a bit when the big name jobs become available.

I'm a Falcons fan. I had to endure his BS for almost a year. He did the same thing to the Falcons he's doing to you as far as constantly assuring everyone everything is peachy. You don't know if it is or not, because he's a proven liar. That's my point on that.

You don't know that and it's not "correct" since no one knows. What we do know is he is a job hopper so I wouldn't hold tight onto him.

Giving my insight to Mr. Delusional Arkansas fan since I dealt with him as a fan.

Keep telling yourself that.


I don't need to, because no matter what, it's just not going to happen. This isn't the SWC anymore. It's not you vs. Texas. It's you vs. LSU, Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee, Florida and Georgia....the Big 6, not just the Big 1 anymore. You remember being 2nd fiddle to them? Well now you're 2nd fiddle to more of them. You will never be able to constantly recruit like those teams do thus will never be a consistent threat at the top of the SEC. Pretty simple to figure out, you've had 17 years now in the SEC to figure out you just aren't able to compete consistently with those programs. Am I saying you'll never win anything? No. I'm saying you won't ever be able to consistently compete with the Big 6.
