Give Barry Lunney Jr. credit for “winning the press conference” when officially introduced as the Arkansas Razorbacks’ interim head football coach Monday.
Now, with two chances remaining, can the Lunney-led Razorbacks win a Southeastern Conference game?
As much as anything, his 0-14 SEC record contributed to Chad Morris’ firing Sunday after 22 games at Arkansas. The SEC losing streak that began under Bret Bielema is up to 17 games, and Lunney becomes the fifth Razorback sideline leader in this decade.
With buyouts to Morris and former coaches factored in, that’s as expensive as it is dramatic.
