In a stunning turn of events, Bobby Petrino has officially been named the new head coach of the Arkansas Razorbacks, following the dismissal of former head coach Sam Pittman.

Petrino, who was initially appointed as the interim head coach earlier this season, has now been given the reins on a permanent basis. The decision comes after a string of disappointing performances and internal issues under Pittman’s leadership that ultimately led to his departure.

Athletic Director Hunter Yurachek addressed the media this morning, stating, “We believe Bobby Petrino is the right person to lead this program forward. His experience, football IQ, and passion for Arkansas football are unmatched. It’s time to restore the Razorbacks to national prominence.”

Petrino previously coached the Razorbacks from 2008 to 2011, leading the team to a Sugar Bowl appearance and a Top-5 national ranking. His return had sparked both excitement and controversy, but recent improvements on the field under his interim tenure helped solidify support among fans and administration alike.

“I’m honored and humbled to be back in this role,” Petrino said in a press conference. “This program means a great deal to me, and I’m committed to building a team Razorback Nation can be proud of.”

Sam Pittman, who had been at the helm since 2019, struggled in recent seasons despite a promising start. This year’s early-season collapse, paired with reported locker room discontent and strategic setbacks, sealed his fate.

With Petrino now officially leading the Razorbacks, all eyes turn toward the remainder of the season as Arkansas looks to reclaim its place in the SEC elite.
