Legendary coach John Calipari is reportedly leaving the Kentucky Wildcats to join the Arkansas Razorbacks, with his connection to chicken titan John H. Tyson playing a role in the decision.
Legendary coach John Calipari is expected to make a stunning move in the world of college basketball on Tuesday and his connection to a chicken titan may have played a role in his reported switch from the Kentucky Wildcats to the Arkansas Razorbacks . Calipari, 65, is closing in on a five-year contract with Arkansas, according to a report by ESPN.
Aside from the Tyson family, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is a major booster for Arkansas, as are the Walton family – the heirs of Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton – giving Calipari access to significant financial resources for the program.
His move to Arkansas became an option after the Razorbacks coach, Eric Musselman, departed to become the head coach of the USC Trojans. Prior to his tenure at Kentucky, Calipari led two other programs to Final Four appearances – the UMass Minutemen in 1996 and the Memphis Tigers in 2008. He also worked in the NBA as the head coach of the New Jersey Nets in the late 1990s. GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HERE Arkansas last won a national championship in 1994.
