LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) - A Facebook group that is showing their support for Razorback football head coach Bobby Petrino rallied Monday night to show solidarity for him.

Members from the group "Team Save Coach Petrino" met Monday night in the gardens on the University of Arkansas campus. They were expecting nearly 2,000 supporters, but about 200 showed up.

One of the group's administrators says the group started to show their support for Petrino. He was placed on paid administrative leave by athletic director Jeff Long after Petrino got into a motorcycle accident April 1 with 25-year-old football staffer Jessica Dorrell.

Meanwhile, Long continues to review Petrino's actions. He said earlier that he would make a decision as quickly as possible. Stay with Today's THV and todaysthv.com for the latest on this developing story.
