I just got back from Memphis and it seemed that every other Vol fan that called in wanted Bobby Petrino as their new Tennessee football coach. However, there is a new report that Petrino has been seen on Ark St’s campus reported by Ark Times and there is a report that Petrino has called and expressed interest in the job.

Bobby Petrino has contact Arkansas State about its coaching vacancy, according to rivals.com report. (AP Photo/Danny Johnston, File)Former Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino has expressed interest in the Arkansas State coaching position left vacant by Gus Malzahn who left for Auburn this week.
Rivals.com’s Luke Matheson reported on RedWolfReport.com sources indicate Petrino contacted athletic director Terry Mohajir and expressed “serious interest” in coaching at Arkansas State.
Matheson also cited, on Twitter, two sources within the Arkansas State administration and one close to Petrino who confirmed the interest. He did, however, say that it is unclear if the interest is mutual.
In the same story, it is also stated that “despite his reported interest, Houston Nutt is not a viable candidate for the job.”
Arkansas State and Kent State are scheduled to square off in the GoDaddy.com Bowl at 8 p.m. Jan. 6 at Ladd-Peebles Stadium in Mobile. Current defensive coordinator John Thompson will coach the Red Wolves.
Yes I said it, and no I’m not making it up. Bobby Petrino HAS contacted #ArkSt with interest in their job.
