The bottom is about to fall out in Atlanta and the SEC is about to become an even tougher conference.
After just 13 games, Bobby Petrino, who was brought to Atlanta as head coach because it was thought that he would be able to help Michael Vick raise the bar and truly realize his potential, resigned as head coach of the Atlanta Falcons and took the vacant position as the head coach of Arkansas.
The Falcon players are livid because he did not and still has not addressed the Atlanta players of coaches directly. Most are calling it a classless move.
The University of Arkansas is ecstatic because they just landed what is thought to be one of the brightest offensive minds in football.
There is no word yet on who will take over as Atlanta's head coach for the remainder of the season.
I don't know how to feel about this one. On one side I don't blame him "gettin' out while the gettin' is good"; on the other hand I think it showed a lack of class and respect for him to not address his team about his decision.
