Arkansas Razorbacks Narrow Coach Search

The search for a new head coach for the Arkansas Razorbacks is intensifying, with several names being discussed. James Franklin has reportedly begun talks with Virginia Tech, making him less likely for Arkansas. Other big names like Jon Gruden and Dan Mullen have been mentioned, but theres been little interest from Arkansas in Gruden, and Mullen himself publicly stated zero chance hed coach the Hogs next season. The focus is shifting to coaches who might be a more realistic fit for the Razorbacks, including Eric Morris from North Texas, Alex Golesh from South Florida, Pat Fitzgerald from Northwestern, P.J. Fleck of Minnesota, and Bob Chesney from James Madison. The Razorbacks are looking for a coach who can bring consistent success and a winning culture to the program.
