FAYETTEVILLE — Bobby Petrino didn’t waste any time reacquainting himself to the role of Arkansas football coach.
In his first act as Sam Pittman’s (temporary for now) replacement, and before most fans even got to work on Monday, news broke that the newly appointed interim coach was already overhauling the Razorbacks’ defensive staff.
In addition to tabbing running backs coach Kolby Smith as the interim offensive coordinator, Petrino fired defensive coordinator Travis Williams, co-defensive coordinator Marcus Woodson and defensive line coach Deke Adams — moves that come with a price tag of about $2.7 million in buyouts.
