Bobby Petrino was officially announced as the new offensive coordinator at Arkansas on Wednesday, completing a full circle arrangement for a program that was once under his direction as the head coach.
Petrino was certainly excited to move on from Texas A&M, where he spent one season as the offensive coordinator under Jimbo Fisher. But he also admitted that he never felt comfortable scheming up the offense for the Aggies in his lone season at the helm.

Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh has already been linked to two coaching jobs, according to NFL insider Dianna Russini.
On Wednesday, Russini told Colin Cowherd on The Herd that Harbaugh’s name is “respected in league circles” and at least two teams could be interested in what he could bring back to the NFL: the Panthers and the Bears.
Russini said, “Let’s just start with Carolina, alright? You mentioned that David Tepper makes that firing last week with Frank Reich now out. If you remember, Tepper and Harbaugh had conversations last year.

It’s no secret the Wizards are one of the worst teams in the NBA this season.
An incongruent offense and lackadaisical defense are the primary factors to Washington’s 3–15 start to the season. But after the team’s latest loss on Wednesday night, a 19-point defeat at the hands of the Magic, wing Kyle Kuzma honed in on the defensive struggles specifically.
