FAYETTEVILLE -- The contracts for eight of the nine full-time football assistant coaches at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville were terminated last week, based on documents obtained through an open-record request filed by the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
Barry Lunney Jr., a former Arkansas quarterback and the tight ends coach for Bret Bielema the past five seasons, was the only full-time assistant coach who was not terminated. Lunney has been on the road recruiting for the Razorbacks since head Coach Chad Morris' hiring last week, although it has not been announced officially whether he will be retained on the new staff.
