[CJ Vogel]

Arkansas has fired head coach Sam Pittman according to Pete Thamel.

Offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino has been named the interim.

There it is.  I thought they would wait another game or two for his buyout to drop but either way even Ray Charles could see this coming.

I did not think it would be that quick, but it was probably a mercy killing.  Good old Petrino back.

It'll be interesting to see how attractive that job is for coaches

Special assistant to Kyle flood?

Bobby Petrino… lol… does he have to wear a monitor around the co-eds? 

[Tuco Ramirez]

Petrino should turn that defense around. 😂

Watch your motorcycles and young female staffers.

Firing head coaches in September, it's a brave new world. Were these schools really expecting something different in August?

It's Petrino's job to lose

All I’m saying is Sam Pittman would be an upgrade of Kyle Flood.

Where Gundy would be a good fit

Did Arky give Petrino a new motorcycle??  All we need to know for his longevity.

He’ll be back on Kirby’s staff if he gets back into coaching.

Hell yes! As an Arkansas and Texas grad I have to say this was long overdue. Back to the good ole days @Gerry Hamilton your move

Making Petrino the interim now effectively  guarantees his sponsors won’t be able to get him the permanent job.  This is a smart move be the AD to castrate Petrino and his supporters so he can’t make a play for the permanent gig.  Petrino as OC was forced on Sam Pittman last season by Petrino’s old supporters in Fayetteville, and they’ll now get the next 7 games to choke on that move.

The effort arkansas put out against nd forced this.

Have to say, at times I have concerns about the Texas O-line the last few years.  I thought C. Flood was one of the best???  Seems like under achieved at times.  Especially last year.  Even though they made the play-off.  Hook 'em!

Was wondering when Sam would be fired.

The only surprise was that Jerry Jones didn't announce it.
