In a major move to shake up the college basketball landscape, John Calipari is reportedly set to take the Arkansas Razorbacks men's basketball job.
John Calipari may reportedly be on the move as the latest head coach from the SEC to shake up his respective sport a few months after Nick Saban left the Alabama Crimson Tide. Calipari is the target of Arkansas men’s basketball’s head coaching search, ESPN reported. As of Sunday night, Calipari was reportedly finalizing a five-year deal with the school which is expected to be completed within the next 24 hours.
Calipari has been the head coach of the Kentucky Wildcats since the start of the 2009-10 season and has been at the top of the college basketball coaching landscape since Derrick Rose led the Memphis-led team to the national championship in 2009 while Calipari was there. He then left for the Wildcats the next season. With Kentucky, he’s been the face of one-and-done.
He hasn’t been as successful since then as the last few years showed. Kentucky was bounced from the tournament in the first round in two of the last three seasons. In 2020-21, the Wildcats didn’t cross 10 wins. Arkansas saw Eric Musselman leave to take the USC and appeared to make the big move to get Calipari out of Kentucky and into the red and white of the Razorbacks.
Arkansas last won a championship in 1994. The team made it to the Elite Eight in 2022 and 2021 but failed to make the Big Dance this season. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
