Arkansas Football: Best of Petrino

34-17 record
2 bowl wins
1 11 win season
1 10 win season

[@Charter046]

Man. Almost makes me cry. lol. Petrino got the Hogs back to a place I never thought was possible. Coming off that Cotton Bowl win we were a national power. Then April fools day happened and it's been bad ever since. These Bobby P years where so much fun.

[@Thumpr110]

I know what you mean. I periodically go back and watch games from the 2010 or 2011 season and it always gives me chills all over again. It’s a combination of joy and sorrow.

[@lasuzzoeagle1]

Yeah. We were going to be a national championship contender that next season. Only if Bobby could have kept it in his pants.

[@RazorHog56]

#5 in the final AP rankings Felt so dam good to see em in the top 5.

[@derrickennemer5050]

Then we were also exposed for Petrinos lack of recruiting skills, and lack of talent. He wouldve only won seven games with that team, which definitely would've been an improvement in 2012, but I dont think with that team , even Petrino woulde have made that much difference.

[@andrew.barker]

I think that will be the only year this century where people had us picked to win the National Championship

[@JDR501]

WARMARCHINE...WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME. DAMN, I LOVED THE PETRINO YEARS. #FUNFOOTBALL

[@trapgod4429]

I was about the say the same thing! Why he do this to us! Why!?

[@Bryan-ip1gf]

Anyone else coming back here, at least somewhat hopeful about Petrino coming back as OC?

[@ozarkpipertony8396]

Came here "after" it was announced he's back.

[@texashog4526]

I was fortunate to be a student there from 08-12, and was able to witness the best of Razorback football. This brings back good memories. dammit Bobby

[@bulgarianmineshaft1913]

Texas Hog lmao I lived in Fayetteville during that time as a kid and lived a walking distance from DW Razorback stadium. Good times!

[@muchduck3754]

Uh... 1964??? That was the best Arkansas football moment but I see your point

[@americanoutlaw1991]

Nice to see I am not the only one who went looking for this old video after the big news broke. Lol hopefully we can get back to this not just the wins but the players back then just seemed to play with a whole other level of intensity. They knew how to properly earn that Razorback name like a “wild band of hogs”

[@Thumpr110]

Thank you for posting this. The 2009-2011 seasons are the best memories I have as a hog fan.

[@somatic77]

so agree

[@danielpassmore5026]

We're you alive from 05-07?

[@mrs.growelove]

I agree! 😥

[@TheDarlindiva]

You were an amazing Razorback quarterback you gave us so many hours of enjoyment watching you play you will always be in our hearts woo pig Sooie

[@TheDarlindiva]

Chris Wise You will always be relevant! you played with the greatest of college players and came through when the chips were down! we will never forget you

[@HLWilliams]

Ryan Mallet just had soooooooo much talent, he made it look so smooth every time he went deep, that dude could launch the football

[@Bryan-ip1gf]

So true. I think he could do a good job of accounting for the speed of his receivers; neither leading them or under throwing. Each time they got separation from a defender, he just laid it in their hands.

[@kevinshorland7993]

The last of the gunslingers

[@HLWilliams]

There is no one in the world that can tell me Joe Adams was not the greatest punt returner in college football, that cat just was out of this world.

[@dkpjap]

absolutely

[@jyrunndixon]

Devin Hester enters chat.

[@HLWilliams]

@@jyrunndixon I will give Devin the nod in the pros, but at the collegiate level he had nothing on Joe. Every time Joe touched the ball you held your breathe.

[@jyrunndixon]

King Lion bro go watch devin hesters college highlights I think you need a refresher

[@HLWilliams]

@@jyrunndixon again I think Devin is incredible and in the pros he is top of the line. And even in college he was one of a kind, but I still think Joe just was more incredible at the collegiate level. That one return against Tenn just might be the greatest punt return in football history.

[@randycoger2525]

The definition of a great coach is: "One who gets his team to over achieve on a regular basis". THAT IS BOBBY PETRINO. Love ya Bobby!!!!

[@codybischoff5998]

Randy Coger even though he underachieved with Lamar Jackson and almost drug Louisville into the dirt. While also face fucking every other team he was at

dennis johnson was my favorite RB. ran with heart!

[@stephen4763]

DJ just lowered his head and trucked that one DB. JUST trucked him.

[@willhenley5285]

I can pinpoint my high mark as a Razorback football fan: right at 18:13 on this video. We were about to go up 14-0 over #1 LSU, and I remember thinking, "We might actually get to play for the National Championship."

[@thisguy8106]

Yup. I remember that. Then LSU proceeded to go on a 28-0 run.

[@FromGutTilDawn]

Well here we are in 2023, and guess who’s back! Let’s hope this video gets a part 2! When I see the Joe Adams Houdini return, I remember being in the nosebleeds screaming my head off! Glad Bobby is back!

[@davidcarnevale8885]

Man. 2006-2011 are my favorite years of Hog football. Still pretty young but these are the games I remember going to and seeing such an explosive offense and a stifling defense! Hopefully these aren't my favorite years of all time. Better things are on the way! Thanks for letting me re-live my childhood WM!

[@bulgarianmineshaft1913]

David Carnevale same I was a kid that looked forward to every Saturday for that reason!

[@domdoescars3121]

I was a student during the Petrino era & when I tell you they were "exciting" games..that doesn't do it justice. It was an INCREDIBLE time!

[@danielmartin9470]

Welcome Home Bobby P. 🐗❤️

[@Perinone]

After every brilliant display by Chad Morris, I like to come back to this video, just to feel what it is like to be good again. As I’m watching it, I don’t know whether to cheer or whether to cry. Thank you for reminding me that we used to be a good team, although we might not be able to experience this again for a long time, and that is if we ever do get to experience this again.

[@PintoSixty]

Have you ever noticed that receivers were open 20-25 yards downfield as soon as Mallett turned to throw? He hardly ever needed to wait for receivers to finish their cuts and then find openings. I hope Petrino can bring those route techniques back to the offense.

[@Michael-jw6et]

They also never dropped a ball. I don't remember but maybe a handful of drops the whole time Bobby Petrino was here.

[@useyourimaginasean]

We all know why we’re back here. 11 years. What a story.

[@watchdog304]

The Dennis Johnson run at 4:41 is one of my favorite plays in Hog History. Not a TD, but the effort is fantastic!

[@r3wturb0x51]

he wrecked half of that florida defense single handedly on one play. even the two players who pushed him out went down into a flailiing pile while he trotted away. I swear that guy was made out of stone or something. the way he just shed tacklers like ants

[@mr.fordnite1909]

Who else is here since Bobby was announced as OC

[@marksnow8742]

GREAT VIDEO WARMACHINE, WE HAD JOE ADAMS, HAMILTON, WRIGHT, AND CHILDS AT THE SAME TIME, NEVER BEEN 4 BETTER ON A TEAM AT ONE TIME LIKE THIS.

[@DimeMindGang]

I remember the 2011 season so vividly. They recruited me heavy so I got free tickets to every home game 🔥🐗 great experience. Hopefully one day the hogs will make a comeback. The Bret bielema era made us look like a str8 up joke to the sec & really all of college football. Say what you want about petrino. Yeah what he did was wrong but aye he ain't the only coach out here gettin pussy at these university lol but he had the team on the right track bet a lot of fans wish we woulda kept him if we could have saw what was to come the next few years

[@philliphortonRanger501]

Lol 😂 I felt this comment

[@waynechism2572]

That's right a good example of - DO 101 THINGS RIGHT AND 1 THING WRONG AND USUALLY THATS WHAT IS REMEMBERED . I DONT GIVE A DAMN ABOUT WHAT OTHERS OUT THERE SAY -- IF I AM THE SPORTS DIRECTOR AND HE'S WINNING HE AINT GOING A GOD DA___M PLACE ,LET THE OLD LADIES FIGHT IT OUT. SHIT BY FIRING HIM I'M PUTTING MY OWN JOB IN JEPORDY . NOT TO MENTION THE RAZORBACK NATION. AND THATS JUST WHAT HAPPENED , THE WHOLE HOUSE CAVED IN AND FELL LIKE DOMINOS Taking 10 years to build it back , COSTLY AS WELL.

[@airman20012001]

I would rather be here than watching Auburn destroy us live. How far we have fallen.

[@stephen4763]

I just forget how much of a beast Dennis Johnson was. Joe Adams - brah - just speed speed speed and moves. How he avoided all those players and even went backwards 7 yards and then went scoreboard. And Mallet. What. An. Arm. Hitting receivers in stride. Those were the days. Fo sure.

[@ts4426]

This was Hog football at its best. What a time to be in school those years 🏈🐗

[@thediehardarkansasrazorbak7288]

Tackling Joe Adam's was like tackling a wet bar of soap

[@cruiserhog1]

joe adams return against tenner is the best return in history...it is absolutely amazing to behold

[@marcusaurelius5548]

I sure miss Dennis Johnson.

[@bentonja668]

My favorite football coach ever. Nolan favorite coach ever of course.

[@rocktown5014]

4:41 -- One of my favorite Dennis Johnson plays of all-time with four broken tackles, and of course he had a bunch of incredible plays (including several kick return touchdowns too).

[@patricklandfair4945]

Welcome back Bobby!!!!!

[@stephcurry2984]

thank you for posting this. i was born in 2000 so these are by far the best years of razorback football i really remember. i remember hearing about mcfadden and jones but not really understanding football or what they were doing until probably 7-8 years later. these were such fun years to watch holy shit. i remember being so shocked after bobby got fired on my birthday, april 10th. was leaving my soccer game when my mom told me i swear to god 😂. anyways thank you for posting this, if you can’t already tell it bring back memories.

Best years 😥

[@lukaspatty6431]

Greg Childs was the most dynamic wide Receiver ive ever seen play at Arkansas..

[@MrHogGamer]

We're about to have several Childs like WR's on the field at the same time.

[@jameskirkpatrick2491]

Man I wish he was still coaching here loved the air attack

[@mattbridge7532]

As great as the Petrino era was with stacks of talent on offense especially I do think that they would have eventually declined like Louisville do possibly to a lack of effort from the staff, nepotism, and recruits just figuring out that Petrino is an asshole. That being said it was the most enjoyable time for me as a razorback fan and wow Dennis Johnson and Joe Adams were electric.

[@CameronClark-191]

WHO IS LOOKING AT THIS AFTER HE GOT REHIRED?

[@kevinshorland7993]

I am. Lived in Fayetteville for 22 years and attended every game through the Nutt, and Petrino years. Nutt played not to lose. Petrino played to win. Glad he's back and hope he learned humility

[@thediehardarkansasrazorbak7288]

Why Bobby !!WHY!!!

[@Thumpr110]

I still cry over it too 😞

@War Productions Says the Auburn guy who's team gets help from the refs

[@zae2chill]

Bobby P is back in business in fay 😎

[@athoutx]

Knowing what we know now, would it have been better to have kept Petrino rather than suffer the worst stretch in Razorback football history? Unequivocally, yes.

[@woopiggrizzlies]

Welcome back Bobby :)

[@randycoger2525]

I just want to cry when thinking of what could have been should Petrino been able to stay. I don't blame Bobby, I have strong ill feelings for the "holier than thou" jerks that fired him.

[@derrickennemer5050]

Wasnt nothing to do with holier than thou. It was blatantly favoritism for a girl that he was screwing, that wasnt qualified for the job, then he not only lied about it, he tried to convince hospital workers and the state trooper that took him to the hospital to keep quiet. They fired him to avoid a massive title 9 lawsuit.

[@zackschooley5858]

Hey Bobby, you can come home again. Great to have you back in Fayetteville

[@jamesmcdaniel9601]

The 16:59 mark is in my opinion the greatest play ever for Arkansas. Oh how I wish THE Paul Ellis could call that play. Would love an OH MY!!!! To cap that run off.

[@robertyeakley6182]

Can we now stop pretending we are ashamed and embarrassed that Petrino was our coach.

[@bentonja668]

I've never been ashamed. A few years ago I held a sign at a Razorback game that said "Bring Back Bobby." I was born in 1975 and Bobby is my favorite Razorback football coach ever (Nolan is my favorite Razorback coach overall).

Say what you will about petrino. Man could coach. Heard someone say the other day that Chad Morris is petrino with a personality. We will soon see.

Chad Morris couldn't carry Petrino's jock.

[@mrs.growelove]

I don't know. I hope so. Petrino was like Saban, ran a tight ship coaching-wise and didn't play favorites. He played who could get the job done. Can't put my finger on Morris yet. He appears to bring a great morale to the team, but to me, the jury is still out.
