Arkansas lost Eric Musselman to USC on Thursday, leaving a top job in the SEC open. The search may not last too long though, as candidates are beginning to take shape. One is reportedly already inside of the SEC too.
According to Jeff Goodman, Chris Beard has emerged as a “leading candidate” for the Arkansas job. Beard just wrapped up his first season with the Ole Miss Rebels, his first year inside of the SEC. Even so, he is still viewed as a top head coach in the sport.
“Ole Miss head coach Chris Beard has emerged as one of the leading candidates for the Arkansas opening, source told @thefieldof68,” Goodman said.
