FAYETTEVILLE — Time has proven to be a flat circle for Bobby Petrino and the Arkansas football program.
After Petrino’s firing for misconduct in April 2012 wrecked the Razorbacks for the better part of the next 13 years, he has found his way back to the Arkansas sideline as head coach. That is, in an interim role.
Petrino was given the interim tag following Sam Pittman’s firing Sunday and will lead the Razorbacks through a daunting remaining 7-game schedule that includes 5 games against teams ranked inside the AP poll’s top 19.
Those matchups will provide an opportunity for the 64-year-old Petrino to prove he should have the interim tag removed.
