The Scale of Falconliness, 4th of July Weenie Roast Edition: Bobby P*trino

Who's the ultimate Falcon? And who's the ultimate anti-Falcon? That's what we're going to find out with our summer project: the Scale of Falconliness. We'll rate former Falcons on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the most Falconly.

234 years ago, the United States declared itself free of the tyranny of King George and his chubby red face. The Fourth has since become a day for reflecting and honoring and setting swine on fire. Today, Falcoholics, as we celebrate with friends and family, let's also take a few seconds to remember the short, cruel reign of another incompetent despot. SOOO-EYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

Ordinarily, we'll restrict entrants in this series to players and coaches who were around for at least four or so seasons, but we'll make an exception today. More lighter fluid, boys. This little piggy's still squealing.

Bobby P*trino, Momentary Participant (January 7, 2007 - December 11, 2007)

hard to give Petrino a 1

Since it’s still in positive territory. Even Nick Saban gave it a full TWO years. What a douche.

Couldn’t there be a 0 or a -infinite?

On a side note

Someone else pointed out that they don’t remember voting on Brooking. Where is that article? I doubt he would keep a near 9 rating if put to a vote. And I think I’d remember that one.

by TheAreopagite on Jul 4, 2010 10:39 AM EDT reply actions  

I'd give Brooking an 8, probably

I think he’d be a very polarizing figure, but I’m willing to forgive a season’s worth of jackassery to recognize what he did for the franchise since he was drafted.

Has anyone seen NFL Network's Top 10 Coaches Who Belonged in College?

Bobby Petrino is #1. All of the analysts/commentators roasted him for being the biggest piece of scum alive. It showed Arthur Blank at the press conference and had some of the players (including Joey Harrington?!) straight up calling him a coward. Overall a pretty nice description of the whole event.

by orion12 on Jul 4, 2010 11:10 AM EDT reply actions  

He nearly destroyed the franchise

What Micheal Vick did was horrible, and he deserved punishment, however, it was nothing compared to what Petrino did to this club on the field. Petrino was not a leader of men. In fact, he would have been well served to teach midget football and never go any further.
Thankfully his incompetence only lasted one year or we would never have gotten Micheal Turner to sign as a free agent. It’s also unlikely that Thomas Dimitroff would be calling the shots either. The one good thing this pig gave to Falcons fans was Chris Redman. That one move merited him a 1.

One of my cousins is a big Arkansas fan

He heard me speaking fairly and accurately of P*trino’s character and said something like, “Yeah, well who wouldn’t do whatever it took to get out of coaching the Falcons?” I was like, “We’re 11-5 right now.” (We were 11-5 at the time.)

I say all that to say yes, our Ozark friends really like this individual and will be surprised to see him leave soon.

Yeah, I’m holding a grudge. I’ll say this for him, he’s a hell of a lot less outmatched in the college game than he was in the pros. It was painful to watch him try to boss guys who get paid around.

He was a bad coach, completely inept in dealing with his own players and a horrible liar even in a sport that’s filled with them.

General business:

1. Yes, the scale goes from 1 to 10, even for P*trino and Nobis. Once we’re all done, I’ll find a nice 1-to-10 chart that doesn’t make it look like we chose to give P*trino the honor of having an entire integer by his name, and we can frame it, but for now the self-updating Google Doc chart will have to do.

2. How offended are we by including votes made by podcast panels? Including our Brooking vote made sense (and helped us cover ground a little more quickly — we’ve got ground to cover, folks) but if you guys would prefer we can open those up for public voting as well.

Falcocracy at work.

Also, I shouldn’t be too shocked about it based on their replies. Obviously they didn’t read the article, applaud someone for not finishing out their contract and think all Falcons do jail time. Such ignorance is akin to everyone outside of AR thinking that the entire state is inbred and missing most of their teeth…while it might be funny to joke about, it is just not true, even though some I have seen in the Ozarks perpetuate the stereotype quite nicely.

Looking at this post’s content, it’s clear one of them had a Google Alert set up for “petrino fluid.” We won’t speculate on WHY someone would need to monitor such a term, especially given the free-wheelin’ homophobia that’s apparently encouraged over there.

Guess we should just humor them. They’re just a little nervous, as they know Bobby’s really feeling the seven month itch by now. Vote finalized, standings updated, going to shoot some fireworks.

Maybe in the future we can put some form of control on the voting? Like they must be a member for 24 hours before they can vote and they must have posted something prior? Seeing as to how some of the “new” members on here have a hard time being able to write something to somewhat validate their vote I think this would settle that issue.

Clearly nothing but class acts up in Arkansas. Since you guys like Petrino so much, maybe you can tell us: is quitting a team in cowardly disgrace a core trait of his, or is that just something he does when he’s ashamed of his embarrassing performance as a coach? I’ve often wondered.

I liked how Razorbro 1 said "They're still talking about Petrino 30 months later," and then Razorbro 2 said "Over a decade and a half ago, some Falcons fans didn't stand for the Anthem."

Thus, today we learned the only acceptable grudges in Arkansas are old, old, anecdotal grudges.

I’m just amazed there were Falcons fans in the Dome during the Anthem.

Petrino is the worst person alive… I wish we could stick him in the hole to plug the BP spill. As soon as the Falcons hired Petrino I knew we were destined for failure… The best news was the day after the Monday Night Game when he resigned. I was so happy we didn’t have to deal with his crap for 3 years of failure. And thankfully he didn’t draft brian brohm, but that draft class still sucked. And arkansas for hiring him is equally as dumb in my opinion. I could never play for a guy that pulled that crap.

Falcon fans need to get over Petrino.

arthur blank made the decision to hire Petrino and everyone was ecstatic thinking of a Petrino offense led my dog killer vick. Petrino was not a good fit in the pro game as a head coach. He was very successful as a OC. Did Petrino do the right thing in walking away from the bill of goods that blank handed him? YES. Did he do it in the best manner? NO.

Think about this IF Bobby Petrino had not left the falcons, would Matt Ryan be the qb? Maybe. Would Smith be on the coaching staff? No he’d be coaching some team to wins over the falcons. Also the team quit on Petrino long before he left them. Was it a personality conflict? Hell yes. Both sides of the equation (Petrino and the players) showed a lack of professionalism during the season. Petrino didn’t manage the team well and the players sulked and wouldn’t perform. Notice all the so-called “team leaders” that blank, Smith and the GM all got rid of after taking over.

Just get over it.

I agree that the entire season was a disaster, top to bottom

But I think it’s pretty natural to remember fiascoes like that, especially when we’re only a couple of years removed from them. I’m sure Hogs fans remember the end of Houston Nutt’s tenure less than fondly, too.

But you’re right. What’s important at this point is that you guys are happy with Petrino as the coach for Arkansas and we’re happy with Smith in Atlanta. Things worked out well for both of us. Hopefully, that will continue.

Also, if you had any idea of the mess he inherited when he got to Arkansas, you wouldn’t make that comment, or maybe you would, since being honest doesn’t seem to be your strong suit.

I guess I could ask how it feels to be the NFL whipping boy, but we already know you feel like crap, so no need to rub it in.

Maybe I am missing something.

Let’s say I work at a crappy job, say Home Depot for instance. My manager doesn’t like his job and decides to find another. He quits and immediately leaves, as his new job needs him at once. At what point, as a remaining Home Depot employee, do I take to heart that my ex-boss found another job? I am positive that 95% of the readers of this post would not take this personally, and the other 5% that DID take the manager’s departure to heart would be filed under the title of “weeping vagina Nancies”

Somehow, because it is professional sports, the above example does not apply the same. Because we are dealing with fragile human beings, who wrap themselves in padding to avoid any pain, I guess we should multiply any personal effects that a departure would have… but hold that fucking phone! Professional athletes are legally considered adults, and most would be found mentally sound in a court of law. These mentally and emotionally capable human beings are getting paid to change peoples’ lives, and should be given special considerations as a reward for their sacrifices.
Wait a second? They don’t contribute anything to society purely through their trade, you say? Their job is to entertain? Play a game? We hate Petrino because grown-ass men, who get paid handsomely to play a game, are a smidge butt-hurt? Boo fucking hoo, you say?
Every player and coach in the Falcon organization is there for a job. Petrino quit is job for another job. He didn’t burn down an orphanage, he quit his job and some adults got angry over nothing important. Get over it, you fucking weeping vagina Nancies.
