Bobby Petrino to return to Arkansas (as OC, for now).
Time is a flat circle.

No fucking way. Fucking arkansas lol.
November 28th, 2023 at 9:10 PM ^
The locals here in Arkansas are losing their minds from joy.
November 28th, 2023 at 9:29 PM ^
Hope the dude has learned something. Next time he needs to maintain a firm but flexible grip on the bars, keep a low center of gravity and steer with his knees.
November 29th, 2023 at 3:24 AM ^
And keep his zipper up and his hands to himself.
November 28th, 2023 at 5:08 PM ^
When the boosters want their shithead back, they get their shithead back.
November 28th, 2023 at 5:10 PM ^
And the NCAA expects the highest standards of integrity. I'm guessing no outlet even mentions this hire with any amount of controversy at all.
November 28th, 2023 at 6:21 PM ^
What? I bet every outlet that mentions this hire talks about the controversy/history. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding your point?
November 28th, 2023 at 7:40 PM ^
Given that he has already been an OC at Texas A&M since his stupidness, and I don't recall much complaining about him getting that job. I would be surprised if the fact that he's returning to the school where it happened raises more than a passing glance.
It seems like the only barrier is that it will require the school president's approval which sounds like a formality at this point.
November 28th, 2023 at 5:21 PM ^
The AD just said fuck it lol
November 28th, 2023 at 7:42 PM ^
Right. 🤣🤣🤣
November 28th, 2023 at 5:23 PM ^
Desperation is a stinky cologne.
November 28th, 2023 at 5:24 PM ^
That's HONDA Petrino.
November 29th, 2023 at 9:13 AM ^
"Motorcycle accident scandal" is certainly a delicate way of putting it.
November 28th, 2023 at 5:29 PM ^
Will they hire the woman back as well?
November 28th, 2023 at 6:37 PM ^
Package deal
November 28th, 2023 at 5:30 PM ^
It’s the SEC.. “It just means more…”
November 28th, 2023 at 5:57 PM ^
Waiting for pete to comment on this.
November 29th, 2023 at 10:53 AM ^
AAH! my eyes! i can't unsee this now....
November 28th, 2023 at 5:44 PM ^
I’d say this photo and the one of Hugh Freeze coaching from the hospital bed are the two funniest CFB images of all time
November 28th, 2023 at 9:50 PM ^
Have to agree :)
November 28th, 2023 at 5:46 PM ^
I like this move. If you are going to be full SEC evil don't pretend you care about integrity, just go full evil.
November 28th, 2023 at 5:47 PM ^
Sell by date expired. Sometimes it's just obvious why some programs never have nice things.
November 28th, 2023 at 5:54 PM ^
"HE'S BACK!"
November 28th, 2023 at 5:54 PM ^
All he needs now is Lamar Jackson.
November 28th, 2023 at 5:57 PM ^
Hugh Freeze getting the head coach job at Auburn is way worse. After that, nothing would shock me in the SEC.
November 28th, 2023 at 5:58 PM ^
Hey Mel, hope you're looking at essss eeeeee seeee vacancies.
November 28th, 2023 at 6:00 PM ^
I expect his contract will prohibit him from riding motorcycles…
… and volleyball players!
November 28th, 2023 at 6:01 PM ^
Excellent picture.
November 28th, 2023 at 6:09 PM ^
I'll bet you never saw a skull session like the one had among Arkansas boosters and their AD trying to figure out some way to keep him on a decade ago.
It probably put the Manhattan Project to shame in terms of collective mental effort.
Let's not kid ourselves, the issue was never about what he was doing being wrong or unethical. But about the awful appearance aspect of keeping him on.
Now he's on the fast track to the throne they definitely want him to regain.
November 28th, 2023 at 6:10 PM ^
By late October 2024 he'll be Interim Head Coach Bobby Petrino!
November 28th, 2023 at 6:48 PM ^
Considering there was talk the HC might be fired I this year I would say chances are good of that happening
November 28th, 2023 at 6:59 PM ^
Yep, Pittman is just about at the end of his rope.
November 28th, 2023 at 7:02 PM ^
He won 10 games in 10, 11 games in 11, just think how many games he'll win in 25!
November 28th, 2023 at 6:31 PM ^
They just can’t quit that beautiful idiot…
November 28th, 2023 at 6:37 PM ^
This is a bad look for Arkansas. But it’s the SEC…and it means more or something.
November 28th, 2023 at 6:45 PM ^
The man has no shame.
November 28th, 2023 at 6:52 PM ^
If he and Rick Pitino can still be coaching in the college ranks, Chris Partridge deserves another chance.
November 28th, 2023 at 6:57 PM ^
Imagine Connor Stalions being head coach in the SEC in 15 or so years
November 28th, 2023 at 6:57 PM ^
He should be required to take John L. Smith with him
November 28th, 2023 at 7:39 PM ^
Now there’s a precedent to hire Chris Partridge back.
November 28th, 2023 at 9:54 PM ^
Another spin around the block.
November 28th, 2023 at 10:22 PM ^
I hope someone warns the Women's Volleyball team.
