Per ESPN:

quote:

Bobby Petrino started overhauling his coaching staff at Arkansas on Monday morning, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel, firing three defensive assistants just one day after being named the Razorbacks' interim coach.

Petrino dismissed defensive coordinator Travis Williams, defensive line coach Deke Adams and defensive assistant Marcus Woodson, sources told Thamel, in the latest moves after Arkansas' 56-13 home loss to Notre Dame.

The Razorbacks appointed Petrino as an interim replacement for Sam Pittman, who was fired Sunday after five-plus seasons as Arkansas' head coach.

Well, I see he is wasting so much time. Maybe Arkansas could make LSU a deal and trade Green for Weeks.

If he's making these types of moves, he is definitely their new permanent coach.

I'm waiting on him to fire the starters too, he can go down the street to the local Waffle House and find players who could cover better than those guys.

I was shocked he was given this much power, too.

Although I'm sure it didn't take much convincing considering what we've seen on defense this year.

Arkansas needs to call Tim Banks immediately.

Interesting choice.

Petrino hasn't exactly had the most stellar post-season record since being fired from Arkansas (1-5).

Didn’t BMFP and TWill get into sometime prior to season starting? There was some rumors but not a lot of details on what actually went down. I liked TWill, met him during a A Club event, but this ain’t show-friends it’s show-biddness

Yep. I wager T-Will didn't like Bobby embarrassing his sorry defense in camp.

But he’s been there 6 times, I think for right now they just want to get there then worry about winning in the post season later.

When the interim's giving authority to fire/hire, He's the new HC and he's in charge. It will be interesting to see who he hires as replacements.

I wish Bobby would have laid the smack down on him.

TWill was a LB for the Falcons when Petrino was the coach.
