The North Carolina Tar Heels hired Bobby Petrino as their new offensive coordinator to fix their struggling offense.
The Tar Heels had the second-worst Power Conference offense last season, averaging just 288.8 yards per game.

Bobby Petrino has a proven track record of offensive success, with his philosophy rooted in execution and understanding.
He has had great production everywhere he's been, said Bill Belichick, the Tar Heels' head coach.
The Tar Heels are hoping for a dramatic offensive turnaround, with Petrino having full autonomy over the offense.
Petrino's focus throughout the spring was on teaching, installing, and building the foundation of the system.
The Tar Heels' next game is against the TCU Horned Frogs on 2026-08-29.
Bobby Petrino has consistently delivered offensive turnarounds throughout his career, and the Tar Heels are counting on him to do the same.
He has a great grasp of offensive football, said Belichick.
The Tar Heels are looking to improve their offense, and Petrino is the man to do it.
With his experience and success, Petrino is a great hire for the Tar Heels.
The Tar Heels' offense was a major concern last season, but with Petrino on board, they're hoping for a big improvement.
Petrino's track record speaks for itself, and the Tar Heels are excited to see what he can do.
He's got a ton of experience, and he's had great production everywhere he's been, said Belichick.
The Tar Heels are looking to make a big impact this season, and Petrino's offense will be a key part of that.
