Some points everyone is missing in all of this when expecting the same vitriol from ESPN toward Petrino as Saban:1) The Falcons are not the Dolphins in the eyes of ESPN. No matter how sucky the Dolphins are and have been, they will never be the doormat that the Falcons have been in its "esteemed" history. There are too many talking heads on the network that have ties to the Miami area. Petrino leaving the Falcons is analogous to Grobe leaving Wake. Who cares?2) There is a Big 11 sacred cow without a coach right now that may have to make a similar move (Michigan). Whether they have to throw big bucks at Les Smiles after he gets through coaching his damn strong football team in the BCS "Championship Game" or they have to go the same route as BAMA and Ar-kansas, they don't want to have to set themselves up to be too hard on Meechigan.3) It's easier to pick on the unrealistic, insane, hated, racists BAMA fan base than it is the poor, maligned, Wal-Mart working class fans that are Hawg fans (just national generalizations....don't get your drawers in a wad!). I wonder why Arkansas gets away with not hiring Croom? :roll:4) BAMA could afford to pay Saban $4MIL and no self-respecting Southern school should ever do such a thing. That is only ok for schools like Notre Dame and Oklahoma so we have obviously forgotten our place in the scheme of things. How dare we expect a winning program!!! :roll:
