Bobby Petrino may be returning to Arkansas Razorbacks football as offensive coordinator, according to ESPN.
Flashback: Petrino was fired as head coach in 2012 after hiring a woman he was in a romantic relationship with, which came to light after an infamous motorcycle accident with her as the passenger.
- Petrino initially lied in public statements, saying he was alone during the accident, which occurred about 20 miles southeast of Fayetteville.
- Petrino gave the employee, former volleyball player Jessica Dorrell, a $20,000 gift, which he did not disclose.
