Atlanta Falcons Coach Bobby Petrino has resigned and it is about time as it did not seem that he could effectively coach at the NFL level with or without Vick. Even though he did not have the players to finish great, he just didn’t seem comfortable leading the team and made some terrible decisions. The news is Petrino is set to take over the Arkansas Razorback head coaching job from former coach Houston Nutt and is set to make somewhere around 3 million per year.
Petrino belongs in college as his offense and coaching fit more at that athletic level. It will be hard for him to run the same scheme he had in Louisville as Arkansas does not have any potential quarterback that can throw the ball well. Since Matt Jones left, the Razorbacks have relied heavily on the run and the teams passing game is very weak. It will be interesting what Petrino can do with a team that will loose both of its top runningbacks and receiver to the NFL.
