ML, do you remember the Petrino disaster season for the Falcons?

Zimmer and Hue Jackson were our coordinators that year. We played harder in the last two games of that season than we had at any other point. That was after Petrino humiliated the organization by singing Woo Pig Suey on national television while his NFL team was playing on MNF. Zimmer effectively took control of the locker room when the players got on Paul Petrino, Bobby's younger brother. Bobby didn't quit and in fact got royally screwed by his brother The Falcons players directed their rage on him to the point that Petrino was ready to resign also. Zimmer prevented that from happening. He is a leader of men.
