Arkansas football assistants Bobby Petrino, Deke Adams sign contract extensions

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas football assistants Bobby Petrino and Deke Adams have signed contract extensions through the 2026 season.

Petrino, the offensive coordinator, signed a 1-year extension, while the defensive line coach Adams signed a 2-year contract. Adams’ previous contract was set to expire Feb. 28 and Petrino was previously under contract through February 2026.

Both contracts were discovered through a Freedom of Information Act request.

Petrino will be paid $1.6 million annually, which is the salary that he was in line to make this year. His contract includes a built-in pay raise for regular-season victories in 2025 — $100,000 if the Razorbacks win 7 regular-season games, $150,000 for 8 wins, and $200,000 for 9 or more wins.
