Anyone who has talked to me knows I am a big Falcon fan. When they hired Petrino at the beginning of the year I thought maybe this time a college coach will hang around. He did have experience as an assistant at the pro-levels, he knew what the pro game was about. He also had a reputation for developing quarterbacks. Maybe he would become a good coach and help develop Vick into a great quarterback. I guess that is what he thought too. Then everything came unraveled. As the season progressed I began to wonder if maybe he was tanking the season on purpose in an attempt to get a higher draft pick. It was frustrating. The times he seemed to hit on something that was a success for the club he abandoned it too soon, in my opinion. He never gave any of his quarterbacks much of a chance to improve in his system. It was horrible. Now I think I know why. I don’t think he was ever happy in the pros. He was tanking the season so he could leave at the end. Maybe by showing “incompetence” he would be able to get out of his contract without as much fuss. That theory came to fruition yesterday.
Petrino resigns Falcons post after 13 games, goes to Arkansas
This is only a theory but it sounds accurate considering his actions.
