Petrino to NFL: Should've seen it coming

Why is it that no matter how many times we see a coach 'fib' to their local media (whether it be Saban, Petrino, or anyone else) and say their "committed" to where they're at and this and that and whatever, that we continue to believe them?

And don't say you saw this one coming. The contract and the comments from Petrino gave us that warm and fuzzy feeling... especially when he just got done telling us at the Orange Bowl that he hadn't been contacted by Alabama. Hell, I doubt Bobby's wife even knew.

Well, I vow never to be fooled by college coaches again. If Pitino and his constant 'spin' of seemingly everything wasn't enough, the departure of Petrino was the last straw. I vow never to be fooled again.

I understand that for most college coaches, the NFL is the pinnacle. I understand why Bobby left. But no more patronizing will I accept from any coach that they are truly "committed" to anything, or anyone, while at the University of Louisville (and many other colleges around the country).

The NFL is it. If the right offer comes along, 95% of all college coaches are gone. That's just the nature of the beast. Believe no one. The NFL is it. I'll never be fooled again.

Now, go take a look at some Petrino-based voting from ESPN SportsNation.
