Kentucky's John Calipari, Arkansas Reportedly Finalizing 5-Year HC Contract

In a surprising turn of events, John Calipari's run as head coach at Kentucky reportedly could be on the verge of coming to an end.

ESPN's Pete Thamel reported on Sunday night that Calipari is finalizing a five-year deal to become Arkansas' head coach.

That news comes after Matt Norlander of CBS Sports previously reported the two sides had "entered into serious talks" regarding the school's head coach opening. Kentucky reportedly had been notified of the discussions, as Calipari's contract requires him to inform the university if he engages with another school about a potential job.
