Trust in Bobby Petrino?

Do you trust in Bobby Petrino enough for the Arkansas Razorbacks to win the Sugar Bowl against Ohio State? He has certain character flaws that we saw when he left the Atlanta Falcons that make him such a man that is not to be a leader.

Should he be trusted to be a leader of these young men? Well, so far he has had no problems in Arkansas that we know of, but can we be sure that he is being the type of person that we should trust with young people. These are just kids. They are in college, they are not professionals. They are still in school and trying to learn and going on to live lives in the world, not always professional football.

I see this man coaching in college and he seems to have the respect of his players and they seem to love him and it makes me wonder how he could have done what he did in Atlanta. He just left one night. It's not just the players he left there without much notice, it was the coaches who had to try to find other jobs or whatever. This was just a heinous act that should have never happened.

I truly hope he has changed his ways and has learned from his mistakes. I know that we all make mistakes and all have moments when the grass is greener and have to do what is best for ourselves or our own families, but should we have proper notice of leave before we do such things.

We really need to change the way we look at these things, but so far Petrino has handled himself in a good manner with the Hogs and they have had far fewer incidents with him than in the years leading up to his entry and Coach Nutt's leaving.
