Bobby Petrino

He coached the 2012 Cotton Bowl Classic winning college football team

Robert Patrick Petrino, born on March 10, 1961, is a well-known figure in American college football, currently serving as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at the University of Arkansas. Petrino has had a long and varied coaching career, with multiple stints as a head coach at various institutions. His coaching journey began to gain national attention during his time at the University of Louisville, where he served as head coach from 2003 to 2006 and again from 2014 until his dismissal in 2018. Petrino's offensive acumen has been widely recognized, and he has consistently been able to develop high-powered offenses throughout his career.

Petrino's tenure at the University of Arkansas from 2008 to 2011 was one of the most successful periods in the program's history. Under his leadership, the Razorbacks achieved their first Bowl Championship Series (BCS) appearance, and his teams were known for their explosive offensive play. However, his time at Arkansas came to an abrupt end in 2012 when he was dismissed for covering up an extramarital affair with a staff member. Despite the controversy, Petrino's coaching abilities have never been in question, and he remains a respected figure in the world of college football.

In addition to his college coaching career, Petrino briefly ventured into the NFL, serving as the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons for the first 13 games of the 2007 season. His time in the NFL was short-lived, as he resigned before the season ended to return to the college ranks. Petrino also had a stint as the head coach at Western Kentucky in 2013, where he led the team to a successful season before returning to Louisville. His ability to adapt to different programs and consistently produce winning teams has made him a sought-after coach at both the collegiate and professional levels.

Throughout his career, Petrino has directed his teams to nine bowl games and has achieved four 10-win seasons. His teams have also finished in the AP Top 25 on six occasions, further solidifying his reputation as a top-tier coach. Despite the personal controversies that have marked his career, Petrino's football knowledge and offensive expertise continue to make him a valuable asset to any program he joins. His current role at Arkansas marks a return to familiar territory, where he will look to continue his legacy of offensive innovation.
