DID FALCONS APPROVE OF PETRINO'S RESIGNATION?
Not long ago, ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported that the Falcons incorporated significant protections into Bobby Petrino's contract to prevent him from fleeing for a college job.
If Mort's report in this regard is right, then the inference to be drawn is that the Falcons gave Petrino permission to walk away.
And it makes sense, in our view, for owner Arthur Blank to allow Petrino to leave. He was hired to turn Michael Vick into a real NFL quarterback. But Vick will spend the next year and a half in jail. So why not let Petrino go and hire a head coach who can come in and lead the franchise in a new direction?
