The Arkansas football program has reportedly decided to bring back former head coach Bobby Petrino as its offensive coordinator, according to ESPN’s Chris Low. When Petrino was last at Arkansas, he was fired after he was involved in a scandal and affair with former Razorbacks volleyball player and assistant Jessica Dorrell.
One of the lasting images of Petrino’s Razorbacks tenure was a photo of him in a neck brace, which he donned after lying about riding a motorcycle with Dorrell. The coach was left with four broken ribs and damaged C2 vertebrae. Now, it appears the Razorbacks have opted to bring Petrino back as the team’s offensive coordinator, and college football fans were quick to react.
