Arkansas’ turbulent football season is inching toward its conclusion, and with it, the Razorbacks’ high-stakes coaching search. But even as the process reportedly tightens, no clear-cut front-runner has separated from the pack. New names continue to surface, and the latest, Alabama defensive coordinator Kane Wommack, might be the most intriguing yet.
A former Razorback fullback (2005–06) and Springfield, Missouri native, Wommack brings a rare blend of SEC familiarity, proven head-coaching chops, and a defensive pedigree that Arkansas desperately needs. At just 38 years old, he already led South Alabama to a 22–16 record and a Sun Belt West title in his second season.
