Bobby Petrino: Here's how much Missouri State's new head football coach will reportedly make

Bobby Petrino will apparently take a major pay cut from previous jobs to become the next head coach of the Missouri State Bears.

The university announced on Wednesday that Petrino will be introduced at a press conference on Thursday morning.

Yahoo! Sports national college football reporter Pete Thamel tweeted on Wednesday morning that Petrino will make $250,000 annually over a five-year contract.

Multiple reports have backed up Thamel's tweet.

Petrino will reportedly make less money annually than Dave Steckel before he and MSU parted ways. Steckel made $270,000 annually.

The reported figure is a major pay cut from what Petrino made over multiple stops throughout his career.
