According to Bobby Petrino, this was his “dream job.” He woke up to find a team that is 3-10, with a quarterback going to jail and a team that has a hard time rallying around his system. So what does Petrino do? He runs. According to reports, Petrino resigned as the coach as the Falcons after 13 games NFL games. What ever happened to the captain going down with the ship??

Petrino took the job as the new head Coach at Arkansas shortly after. After hearing rumors that he might headed to Arkansas, Falcons owner Arthur Blank asked Petrino about it and Petrino lied saying that he was planning on being with the team next season.

After being named the head coach at Arkansas in a late-night press conference in Fayetteville, Ark, he even did the school’s “Woo Pig Souey” chant - complete with cheerleaders - after his opening remarks. DeAngelo Hall of the Falcons had some comments about the whole situation:

I just wish people would be a straight up about their coaching decisions (hint hint Les Miles). It is what it is.
