Sources: Bobby Petrino out as coach

Bobby Petrino will not return as head football coach at Arkansas, multiples sources have told ESPN.com's Chris Low.

The university has called an 8:15 p.m. ET press conference at which time athletic director Jeff Long will announce Petrino will not be back.

The 51-year-old Petrino was put on paid leave last week after he didn't tell his boss right away that a 25-year-old female football program employee was riding with him during an April 1 motorcycle crash. Petrino, who is married with four children, also admitted to an inappropriate relationship.

Also on Monday, a person familiar with the investigation confirmed to The Associated Press that Petrino's "previous inappropriate relationship" was with Jessica Dorrell, the former Arkansas volleyball player with whom Petrino was riding with during his motorcycle crash on a rural two-lane road southeast of Fayetteville.

Petrino was noticeably vague in the wording about the relationship in his statement last Thursday, and the person spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Petrino came to Arkansas in 2007, leaving the NFL's Atlanta Falcons in midseason to coach the Razorbacks.

Petrino was welcomed and embraced by the state immediately and he has led the Razorbacks to a 34-17 record while making them into a power in the Southeastern Conference. Arkansas was 11-2 last season, finishing the season ranked No. 5.

Information from The Associated Press contributed to this report.
