Western Kentucky hires Petrino
BOWLING GREEN, KY (AP) - A person familiar with the decision says Western Kentucky has hired Bobby Petrino as its new football coach. View Current College Football Odds The person says the former Arkansas coach is expected to be introduced at a Monday afternoon news conference. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the school has not officially announced Petrino's hiring. The 51-year-old Petrino replaces Willie Taggart, who left WKU Saturday to become South Florida's coach. Petrino had a 34-17 record at Arkansas. He was fired by Arkansas in April for a ``pattern of misleading'' behavior following a motorcycle accident. Petrino had an affair with former Razorback football staffer Jessica Dorrell, who he had given $20,000 in gifts. Petrino said initially he was the only person on the motorcycle but later admitted to Dorrell's presence. Bet College Football Bowl Games Want More From TheSpread.com?
