Petrino Pledges His Love, Compares Hotlanta to "Misery"

"I'll be loving you forEVER / As long as you want me to be..."

If you're looking for reportorial acumen, right here's the last place you should be. Go over to Brandon Marcello's Slophouse blog instead.  Marcello's a real deal journo and always has his nose to the ground.  His most recent entry points to some good reading at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution about, what else, the Falcons and their own personal Judas, whom they caught up with while he was in Destin, FL for the annual SEC spring meetings. The article itself is rather cathartic, but Marcello isolates the pullquote moste relevant to hog fans:

“I feel like this needs to be my last job,” said Petrino, who took Louisville to a BCS bowl before leaving for the Falcons after the 2006 season. “Professionally, there’s no question that’s how it needs to be. And that’s also what I want.”

We'll see.  If he gives us three years or thirty, he was the right hire. I'd only worry if the Tennessee job came open in the next couple seasons. Petrino's contract explicitly prohibits him from seeking employment in the SEC East (though I hear the clause is not exactly airtight).  The West, however, is wide open.
