FAYETTEVILLE — Joe Fabrizio is enjoying spending time these days with his grandkids, occasionally taking them to high school football games on Friday nights and finely manicuring the lawn at his home.
He retired from coaching in January 2020 following a 38-year run in which he led programs in Pennsylvania, Louisiana and Florida. Fabrizio teaches special education at St. Petersburg (Fla.) High School, the very place that saw his teams win 90 games — including 36 from 2008-11 — over 14 seasons.
In his new-found free time, he also plans to watch a few more Arkansas football games than in previous years.
