re: Official: Bobby Petrino hired as OC/Rock Hard Edition/OC Thread

There is a bit of a misnomer in how it all went down though.

Fletcher got the ball rolling overall, however Sam remembered how well BP's team played us the season before last. He was very impressed with his offensive acumen.

So, when it was brought up .. others said, "No way" Pittman went to bat to get BP here, and even spoke to some BOT members for it to happen. Frank Fletcher got more involved along with Bazzel. It took a decision by the head dude in changing the wording in the firing documents and overriding those. And, it was done.

Pittman was thrilled overall.... He hasn't been shaking in his boots over this hire. He wants to leave with Arkansas experiencing success prior to retiring. FWIW.
