Razorback Nation has the original contract sent to Bobby Petrino for the head coach position, dated Dec 11, 2010. The contract, sent to Petrino from Director of Athletics Jeff Long, has language that seems to opens the door for the University to terminate the coach.

"otherwise engaging in conduct, as solely determined by the University, which is clearly contrary to the character and responsibilities of a person occupying the position of Head Football Coach or which negatively or adversely affects the reputation of the inversity or UAF's Athletics Program in any way."

The second bullet point on page 8 states: "Your employment will be subject to the policies of the University and the Board of Trustees of the University of Arkansas"
