Veteran says coach 'turned his back on the organization'
Falcons cornerback DeAngelo Hall has never been one to bite his tongue, and he had plenty to say late Tuesday following former coach Bobby Petrino's introduction at the University of Arkansas.
After witnessing Petrino's news conference on television, Hall said he grew angrier and his already frosty feelings toward Petrino grew colder.
"He had ulterior motives," Hall said in an interview on ESPN's
SportsCenter. "He came to this great franchise for a stepping stool to where he wanted to be and that's a better college job."
"He came here, lied to a great man in Arthur Blank. He lied to Rich McKay .... it's Coach Petrino's loss."
Hall added, "If I saw him in the street I wouldn't have anything to say to him. I don't have any respect for him. He turned his back on the organization."
