Arkansas athletic director Hunter Yurachek and interim head coach Bobby Petrino met with the media for the first time since Sam Pittman’s firing. The press conference was meant to spotlight Petrino’s return, but a remark from Yurachek quickly stole the show, dominating social media and overshadowing the former Razorbacks coach’s introduction.
Whether Arkansas had the financial backing to support a new coach was one of the hot topics during Monday's press conference. Yurachek offered quick assurance that whoever filled the role would have what they needed to be successful in the SEC. When asked if Pittman had the finances, Yurachek sang a different tune.
