So what about the Atlanta situation bothers you?

Reason I ask is because I've seen some people complain that Petrino left Atlanta with a few games left but those same people are perfectly fine with the way Atlanta canned Reeves. That stance seems a bit hypocritical.

That is an issue that hits me wrong b/c I've worked for couple Fortune 500 companies, both of which demand loyalty from their employees but give none in return. With that experience, I have no problem with the coach (in any sport) leaving a professional organization mid season. None whatsoever.

He left when the going got tough.

So what if it was a bad situation?

He shoulda put on his big boy panties and AT LEAST finished the season. Hell, they made the playoffs the next season when he left.

So that makes me think the talent was there. Maybe he couldn't coach em up? Maybe it was somethin else? We'll never know. But the talent was there.

This is hypethetical:
So say Petrino leaves Arkansas mid-season, after Mallett gets injured, when the going gets tough, and Arky can't win a game, and he decides to just up and leave, you wouldn't have a problem with that?

Come on.
