Bobby Petrino has agreed to become the next offensive coordinator at Arkansas, and the two sides are finalizing the deal, sources told ESPN on Tuesday.

An official announcement was expected later Tuesday, and the former Razorbacks head coach is slated to be on campus in Fayetteville on Wednesday.

Petrino spent this season as the Texas A&M offensive coordinator and wasn't retained by new coach Mike Elko after Jimbo Fisher was fired earlier this month. The Aggies defeated the Razorbacks, 34-22, on Sept. 30.

Petrino was head coach at FCS Missouri State before taking the Texas A&M job, and Missouri State almost nearly the Razorbacks during the 2022 season in Fayetteville.
