Noted Ladies Man Bobby Petrino to Coach Western Kentucky

Here’s hoping it goes better than his stint at Arkansas. That got pretty weird for everyone. Of course, his time with the Atlanta Falcons didn’t go so great either.

WKU athletic director said in a release that Petrino will be introduced at a Monday afternoon news conference.

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 and 75-26 overall in eight seasons as a college head coach.

He was fired by Arkansas in April for a "pattern of misleading" behavior following a motorcycle accident. Petrino had an affair with former Razorback volleyball player Jessica Dorrell, who he later hired as a football assistant had gave her $20,000 in gifts. Petrino said initially he was the only person on the motorcycle but later admitted to Dorrell's presence.

Petrino has been looking to get back into coaching since his dismissal. His name was mentioned recently in connection with several openings, including Kentucky and Auburn.

What could possibly go wrong here?
