Garrick McGee,QB coach has been promoted to OC at Arkansas.
A source close to the Arkansas program said the Bobby Petrino had hoped Paul would remain of Staff and wait for a different opening. But the fact that Paul was not the play caller while working for his brother has cropped up as an issue in his recent job searches, which included interviewing for the head coaching job at Western Kentucky.
Paul will shape his own offense and call plays out from under the shadow of Bobby Petrion and under a defensive minded coach in Ron Zook.
