ESPN Bashes Petrino - Since snubbing Arkansas' Heisman-worthy running back, ESPN has moved on to other matters like bashing the Hogs' new coach. Writers for ESPN, including Len Pasquarelli and Pat Forde, are attacking Bobby Petrino's integrity simply because he wanted out of a situation he didn't sign on for.

They have called him a liar and a nomad. They claim he is disingenuous.

Since I have always wanted a winning coach at Arkansas, I am glad to have Petrino. He went 41-9 at Louisville, a remarkable record at a school known for its basketball. His resume indicates he can have similar success at Arkansas. If he decides to pack up and leave next season, I will not fret over it. The Razorbacks will find another high-quality coach.

As for the Petrino's integrity, I can hardly blame him for leaving the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons organization is the definition of chaos. They are 3-10 because they lack much talent on the field. The talent they did have is in prison for dog fighting. Why would anyone want to waste the prime years of their career managing such a mess? What is so unethical about Petrino's decision to move on? The criticism sounds like a bunch of sour grapes more than anything. So, the ESPN guys can bash Bobby Petrino all they want. If Petrino performs well at Arkansas, the pundits' remarks won't matter on this site.
