Bobby Petrino lost $21 million in future earnings when he lost his “dream job” as head football coach at Arkansas, but he’s still haunted by the emotional losses he’s suffered with his wife and family.

Petrino broke down several times in his interview with ESPN’s Joe Schad.

Petrino’s affair with Jessica Dorrell, former Arkansas volleyball player and football recruiting organizer, came to light after the pair was involved in a motorcycle accident April 1 in Arkansas.

Petrino told Schad that he immediately realized the crash would also bring his life crashing down.
