Everybody Hates Bobby

When Nick Saban took off to Alabama after he said the words, "I'm not going to be the Alabama coach," people were pissed, but they kept their cool for the most part. Bobby Petrino has elicited a whole new level of contempt among NFL players and staff.

Warrick Dunn: "It got to the point where guys really didn't care if he left or not."

Lawyer Milloy: "This league is not for everybody. This league is for real men. I think he realized he didn't belong here."

Jamaal Anderson: "One word: Disloyal."

Grady Jackson: "It just shows his true color, like a coward with a yellow stripe down his back."

Arthur Blank: "The best way to describe the way we feel is betrayed."

Kolby Smith: "He snuck out in the middle of the night like the Baltimore Colts did."

Ronde Barber: "I don't see him walking away with any pride. They're down, and he kicked them."

Joey Galloway, when asked how he would respond if his head coach abruptly left for another job: "I would kill him."

Say, here's a fun fact. Petrino signed a ten year contract with Louisville three months before leaving for the Falcons, with whom he signs a five year contract, only to leave 11 months later for Arkansas where he signs another five year contract. Twenty years of commitments in 18 months!

Arkansas plays Alabama in week two next year. Place your bets now on which one of the head coaches quits at halftime and winds up with a Big 10 team the following week.
