As November carries on, expect the noise surrounding Arkansas football’s coaching search to ratchet up to a fever pitch.
After Auburn sent Hugh Freeze packing on Sunday, the Tigers became the ninth Power Four vacancy in this cycle, with four of those coming in the Southeastern Conference. That’s a record-high number of midseason firings, and other coaches like Florida State’s Mike Norvell, Wisconsin’s Luke Fickell and Michigan State’s Jonathan Smith continue to tread just above water.
Arkansas has the unfortunate task of trying to land a new head ball coach on an incredibly competitive carousel.
