In my limited experience, loyalty is only an overriding concern when people are talking about someone else. When it comes to themselves, players, gms and coaches alike all believe that they are worth more than paid and each has the right to seek more while the gettin's good. I don't know why this is so hard and why people act like Petrino OWES anyone anything. I guarantee you Petrino wouldn't have acted like a puppy dog about Blank had Blank fired him. It's pathetic to watch an owner act like he was blindsided this way.
Even in the crescendo of whining and moaning, does anyone believe Petrino is going to change his mind? What good to the Falcons get from bashing the guy? He hasn't said a word about their pathetic personnel situation, while that herd of pathetic personnel are acting as if he created the problem.
