Mike Zimmer calls Patrino a gutless B******

[Dpantherman]

"He's a gutless bastard. Quote that. I don't give a s---," Zimmer said Wednesday, according to Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer.

When Zimmer was told that responsible news organization may not be able to use "bastard," Zimmer responded:

"How about this, gutless MF. You can use that." (Awesome. Much appreciated.)

Petrino famously didn't tell any of his assistants that he was leaving Atlanta for the head coaching job at Arkansas. On Sunday, Zimmer's Bengals face a Falcons team that has been almost completely remade since 2007, especially on defense.

"[Petrino] is a coward. Put that in quotes. He ruined a bunch of people's lives, a bunch of people's families, kids, because he didn't have enough nuts to stay there and finish the job. That's the truth."

[Mr. Scot]

Wonder how he really feels.

Well he is right

[Anybodyhome]

Think he'd consider a head coaching position in Charlotte? Not Petrino, I'm talking about Zimmer.

[Mr. Scot]

Shame Petrino's not coaching the Falcons anymore

i remember watching Arkansas this weekend and telling my girl that Petrino was a bitch....what coach quits on his team and his staff mid season?
