Reports started coming out about half an hour ago that Arkansas Offensive Coordinator Paul Petrino would be joining Ron Zook’s staff at Illinois.
Paul is currently believed to be on his way back to Fayetteville to think things over after receiving an offer of $450-$500,000 from Illinois.
Arkansas Sports 360 “Arkansas offensive coordinator Paul Petrino is expected to take a similar position at Illinois.”

If this is true, OUR coach Petrino better be on the phone about… ooooooooooo 5 minutes ago calling Auburn , Alabama and bringing our boy Malzahn back home. Could you imagine those 2 briliant football minds working together on the same team, with the same mission? OHHHH MY !!!!
