I really have no rooting interest in any of this, mostly because i couldn't care less about the Atlanta Falcons, Louisville Cardinals, or Arkansas Razorbacks (though i do think Houston Nutt got shafted there), but this whole Bobby Petrino thing is pretty shady.
There is a great article here about all of his recent transgressions, including a graph showing all the different places he's been in the last 24 years. His longest stay was his four years at Louisville, in which he flirted with other head coaching jobs every single year he was there. The worst may have been his clandestine meeting with Auburn officials about replacing Tommy Tuberville, a man who had given him a job just one year prior.
In the rich (poor) tradition of Nick Saban, Petrino is just another coach who is looking out for just himself, all the while wooing fan bases and convincing school officials. Arkansas may be a great fit for him, but don't be surprised when he starts looking around for other jobs in a year or two...
