Bobby Petrino called it quits today, resigning from the Atlanta Falcons. Apparently, he's close to a deal to replace Houston Nutt as the head coach of Arkansas.
Petrino will feel right at home in the SEC West with Nick Saban. Both coaches bailed on their NFL team after stating they were not interested in returning to college. Personally, I think Petrino is even worse than Saban. Maybe that is just the Falcons fan in me talking, but at least Saban didn't quit mid-season.
So now the Falcons need to hire the 4th coach of the Arthur Blank era. I'm sure defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer will get a shot, but I'm hoping for Bill Cowher. He's a good coach, a Super Bowl winner, and he loves drafting Georgia Bulldogs.
In other Falcons news, they have now launched FalconsLife. It's an online community for Falcons fans that is somewhat similar to a MySpace or Facebook. Also, UGA Grad and Falcons video coordinator Matt Moore has one of the featured blogs on there, so be sure to check it out.
