FAYETTEVILLE — Bobby Petrino was introduced as the University of Arkansas' 30th head football coach late Tuesday evening, less than six hours after resigning from his head coaching duties with the Atlanta Falcons.
Petrino flew from Atlanta into Northwest Arkansas with incoming Arkansas Athletic Director Jeff Long and members of his family, and was introduced in an unprecedented 10:30 p.m. news conference.
Petrino received a standing ovation from an overflow crowd of Arkansas fans in the Raymond Miller room at the Broyles Athletic Center after being introduced by Long, who had conducted the coach search.
