If we're talking coaches then it's Bobby Petrino.
Honorable mention goes to Josh McDaniels who also quit on the Colts. Before he even started.

Roy Race. Quit just because he lost a foot in a helicopter crash. He never looked into getting a prosthetic foot and continuing his career? That is some weak sauce right there. Wrestler Kerry Von Erich wrestled with one foot. Zach Gown had one leg and wrestled

What's the story behind Petrino quitting the Falcons gig and going to Arkansas. Correct me if I'm wrong - wasn't it mid season he quit? He quit 13 games into the season. What made it worse was that a rumor sprung up that he might be talking to a college about their head coaching vacancy just a week or two earlier. He vigorously denied it. Then before the 14th game he taped notes to his players lockers saying he quit. He snuck off to Arkansas and took the head coaching job. But never publicly addressed his quitting or lying about it. He was in first year of the Atlanta Falcons job when he did it. I think they gave him a guaranteed 5 year contract, but don't quote me on that. |

Wonder what was going on in his head - i.e. if he felt the game was just over his head and wanted to coach college - i.e. like Spurrier and Lane Kiffin

Losing Michael Vick over that dog abuse scandal might've had something to do with also. But since he just grinned and took the money, ran off and never talked about it, it only made him look like a bigger weasel. |

Bobby Petrino is a sack of shit. He ran off on the Falcons in the middle of the night like a cowardly little bitch, and then there was the situation at Arkansas where he got in a motorcycle wreck with his mistress who he had gotten a job with the department that she wasn’t qualified for and tried to cover it all up. I’m so glad he didn’t stick around with the Falcons, 2007 was a dismal season for us but we are so much better off that Petrino lasted less than a year in Atlanta.

"Tiger" Tim Henman as soon as he got a whiff of the polish from the Wimbledon trophy.

Bill Belichick quit as head coach of the Jets after a day by writing his resignation on a napkin.

Barry would have the all-time rushing record easily had he kept playing, but basically quit because he was pissed at the Lions. I really don't see Emmitt Smith as worthy of the record.

I’m so glad he didn’t stick around with the Falcons, 2007 was a dismal season for us but we are so much better off that Petrino lasted less than a year in Atlanta. Petrino has more or less fucked over every organization that has given him a job. Not to mention his family. As well as the players and fans and that bimbo he was having an affair with. Dude probably even kicks his pets just because thats what villains do. The Falcons players said he was a nutbag in addition to his other character issues. They were not allowed to speak or even look at him when not at practice or in his office. If they passed him in the hallways or elsewhere at Flowery Branch he instructed them to look away and not address him. There were other equally weird "rules" he had for the players and coaches but the story I read after he quit was 12 or so years ago so I don't remember them at the moment. The look away and don't speak thing was so bizarre though I never forgot it What team will roll the dice on him next?

Barry quit too soon. I love watching his highlight reels. Why didn't he go to another team if he was unhappy with the Lions?
