They can have him.

Big mistake letting him leave.
They can sweeten the pot with a personal assistant and a motorcycle.

Explain.
Big mistake? He was okay. I wouldn't say it's a big mistake.Double Diamond said:

Still shocked they kept Pitman.
AD messed up saying no changes and then they get destroyed by Missouri.

He was a waste of money. Not because he isn't any good, but because he wasn't really allowed to earn his salary.Ags2013 said:Big mistake? He was okay. I wouldn't say it's a big mistake.Double Diamond said:

Read a story somewhere that said he might not be eligible to be re-hired because he was fired "for cause". Story I read said the President of the system would have to approve his hiring.

Petrino likes working for a coach on the hot seat apparently. Bet they hire him to take over after the fire Pittman.
It's because I fear an air raid offense. Can't take that returning.
Bowl game offense gonna be drawn up in the dirt
Did we really get to see Petrinos work?

Gets that sweet coordinator overpay to come work for dead man walking pay bump.
Could be totally wrong here but I have a hard time thinking that Elko and Petrino would mesh very well.
Is he still on board as our OC for the bowl game?
IMO… he never really got a good chance to show what he might've brought to the table offensively under Jimbo.
Not suggesting we should keep him.

Agreed - I also assume Elko doesn't want anyone on his staff with questionable pasts.halfastros81 said:

Setting it up to promote him when Pittman gets ****canned
The play calling vs LSU was the most wide open best play calling I've seen since the Kingsbury days... keep petrino
Arkansas accidentally liked their ex’s Instagram post from ten years ago and is now trying to explain it away without looking creepy.

Elko said in the presser his offense would be multiple, adaptable, and explosive. That is what he is looking for, and that is not the air raid.
Gotta love the Texag genuises that ignore the flame out at Louisville and the fact that we resurrected Petrino from an FCS school he was at for 2 years because no one else wanted him...
"But but but Jimbo never unleashed him and that's why his career is where it is now".... No he is washed.

He was at UNLV before he abruptly left for the A&M OC job... but yea we elevated himtjburns said:

Fair, but also prove my point. Not even good enough for a head coaching gig at UNLV.
Meh, good luck to BP, except when we play them. They are going to have…very limited talent compared to what he was kind of able to 'work with' here, though of course he'll be allowed to actually run his offense as he wants.
BP, and Craig in the same day. I think we all know who we'd like to hear about for the trifecta this evening.

Yeah Arkansas is going to have to take about 10 offensive linemen in the portal if this even has a chancenortex97 said:

Just want to make sure everyone knows Double Diamond and I are not related.
Petrino....PLEASE take Addazio with you !!!
Keep Petrino. Fire addazio and let's roll!
Not sure any of our players or recruits will follow Petrino to Arkie.
Bobby Petrino has agreed to return to @RazorbackFB as offensive coordinator and a deal is being finalized, sources tell ESPN. Petrino won 10 games in 2010 and 11 in 2011 as the Hogs’ head coach, but was fired following the motorcycle accident scandal.

You fear the best offense we've had in the last 20 years returning? The takes people have here... SMH.
Any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still know where his towel is, is clearly a man to be reckoned with.
