Much like they did when they wanted a new basketball coach and tried to hire the coach from Texas A & M, Billy Gillispie, Arkansas went calling to Tuberville since he had been the real first choice ten years ago.
However, sources say that when Arkansas came calling Tommy used it as leverage to get contract negotiations to commence for a longer contract. Rumor has it that Tommy would like Arkansas to be the job he takes after the next coach quits in about five years.
This way Tommy would be in the state he loves and where he wants to retire as his last stint in coaching. He would let the University of Arkansas move him home in about 5 to 7 years. He would coach for about 5 years and retire.
Great thinking!
My thoughts on Houston Nutt and Tommy Tuberville for now.
Who will the next coach now. I believe Arkansas will be taking one from Texas Tech.
What are your thoughts.
