Jessica Dorrell got media attention after her affair with the Razorbacks’ former head coach Bobby Petrino, came to light in 2012.
The adultery of Bobby and Jessica, whom he hired as the player’s development coordinator, spilled out after the two had a bike accident.
Moreover, it was found that Dorrell’s recruitment by Bobby didn’t comply with the guidelines. As a result, the University of Arkansas fired them.
Formerly, Bobby served as the head of the Arkansas Razorbacks from 2008 to 2011. During that tenure, he led the team to two top-25 finishes and a Cotton Bowl victory.
After 12 years, Petrino returned to the Razorbacks in November 2023, which also brought his past affair into the media again.
According to ESPN, the Lewistown, Montana native assumes the role of offensive coordinator at Arkansas, under head coach Sam Pittman.
With the new move, he makes an exit from his Texas A&M Aggies, where he served as OC under the head coach Jimbo Fisher. Fisher was fired & replaced by Mike Elko on November 27, 2023.

Dorrell And Petrino Lost Their Jobs After Affair Scandal
On April 1, 2012, the former Razorbacks head coach Bobby Petrino had a bike accident that sustained him four broken ribs, a cracked vertebra in his neck, and numerous abrasions on his face.
Although the football coach tried to cover up stating he was the only individual in the accident, the police reports had to say more. Reportedly, Jessica Dorrell was the other passenger in the vehicle.
Moreover, further investigations shed light on their affair; at that time, Dorrell was engaged while Petrino was the father of four kids with his wife, Becky.
As reported, he frequently sent her gifts that included a $20,000 cash gift as a Christmas present.
