FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas interim football coach Bobby Petrino will be paid at least $350,000 on top of his annual salary to lead the Razorbacks through the end of November.

Petrino’s financial details as the interim head coach were finalized earlier this month and released Monday through a Freedom of Information Act request. He became Arkansas’ interim head coach when Sam Pittman was fired Sept. 28.

Petrino is being paid $175,000 for the months of October and November on top of his annual salary of $1.6 million. He also will earn $10,000 for any victory.

The Razorbacks (2-8, 0-6 SEC) are 0-5 since he took over with losses to Tennessee, Texas A&M, Auburn, Mississippi State and LSU.
