Okay, that's fairly big news. I'd think he'd wait to see how Michigan or LSU pan out.

Wow... Arkansas stepping up to the plate!

I wonder if this will encourage Felix Jones to stay in school...

After hearing Blank last night, this is a real shocker. If true, he obviously hates the NFL.

Arkansas should do well with Petrino. He did a good job at Louisville and they really went down hill once he left even though they still had their same starting QB and WRs.

No way. This makes room for Mike Zimmer to become head coach of Atlanta. :D

Funny thing is that I fully expect Zimmer to be the interim coach.

NFL owners might want to start questioning the hiring of coaches from the college ranks.

That's a big signing for Arkansas if it comes to fruition...

Arkansas has plenty of talent in state but hasn't had a competent coach in years...

Not on this one -- horrible stuff happened that was out of Petrino's control. Nobody can blame him for leaving.
