FAYETTEVILLE — Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
With a nod to The Who’s classic “Won’t Get Fooled Again,” Bobby Petrino is back in the big chair at Arkansas and now in the midst of his first game week as its head coach since the Cotton Bowl Classic after the 2011 season.
Whether Petrino’s real-time audition for the Razorbacks’ permanent head coaching job catches on will be determined in the coming weeks as they navigate a difficult, all-league schedule the final eight weeks.
The Petrino-led Razorbacks (2-3, 0-1 SEC) and No. 12 Tennessee Volunteers (4-1, 1-1 SEC) will both be coming off of bye weeks when they face off at 3:15 p.
