RockPride Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Updated: Jan. 7, 2007, 8:57 PM ET Falcons nab Louisville's Petrino for head coach slotBy Pat Forde ESPN.com Louisville coach Bobby Petrino has accepted a five-year, $24 million offer from the Atlanta Falcons to become their new coach, according to a Louisville source. The Cardinals have a previously scheduled 9 p.m. ET team meeting at which Petrino will tell his players, the source said. At least one player, running back George Stripling, said at 8:45 p.m. Sunday that the players had not been apprised that Petrino was leaving. An announcement from the Falcons could come Monday. Before the season, Petrino signed a 10-year, $25 million contract with Louisville athletic director Tom Jurich. Petrino had previously interviewed with Auburn, LSU, Notre Dame and the Oakland Raiders for other jobs, but announced in August that he would be at Louisville for the long haul...... Bobby is gone, says ESPN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
