In less than three years, Hunter Yurachek has developed into one of the most beloved athletic directors in Razorback history.
He’s presided over an era in which almost all sports except football are producing Top 25 caliber teams. Programs like men’s basketball, baseball and soccer are even on the cusp of winning national titles.
While the football program isn’t yet Top 25 caliber, it’s on an upward trend and on the cusp of breaking into that realm by winning its first games against Rice and Texas this season.
He’s hiring really good coaches — from Jordyn Wieber in gymnastics, to Eric Musselman in basketball and Sam Pittman in football — and he’s keeping the good ones Arkansas has.
