One Day After Falcons Franchise Quarterback Michael Vick was sacked with a 23 month Prison term for dog fighting, Bobby Petrino has resigned as Falcons Coach.
Bobby Petrino resigned as Atlanta Falcons coach on Tuesday and will take the head coaching job at Arkansas, sources told FOXSports.com. He lasted only 13 games with the NFL team.
Petrino called a staff meeting late Tuesday afternoon, a meeting which last about 10 seconds, sources said.
At this point, the assistant coaches have not been told who will be coaching the team going forward.
Petrino did not address the team following his resignation. Players are livid with the way Petrino left the team and several called his handling of the situation "classless."
Petrino left Louisville to become Falcons coach in January for a five-year, $24 million contract, largely because Atlanta felt he could help star quarterback Michael Vick reach his full potential.
Of course, he had no idea what Vick was doing in his spare time.
This officially closes the book on this team and how they totally self-destructed after their Star QB was hit with jailtime. Good luck to whoever the next Falcons head coach will be, they are gonna have a whole world of problems on their hands.
