Rumors have been circulating social media about Arkansas basketball’s head coach Eric Musselman leaving for a new gig after a disappointing season.
Musselman has been linked to jobs around the country, specifically to the open positions at SMU and Louisville.
Fans all over Arkansas have been freaking out about losing the coach who brought the most success to Bud Walton Arena since Nolan Richardson, going as far as asking his daughter about his plans for the future.
However, it seems that fans might have their answer regarding the head Hog. Athletic director Hunter Yurachek posted a short video to X (Twitter) that suggests Musselman is staying in Fayetteville.
In the video, Yurachek hops on one of Razorback Transit’s buses—or in this case, the “Muss Bus”—only to find out Eric Musselman at the wheel. Yurachek promptly asks, “Wait a minute. You’re still here?” suggesting that the two-time Elite Eight appearing coach will indeed stay at Arkansas.

It’s a good thing he’s coming back, too. Arkansas has lost most of its players from the 2023-24 season, and having a proven transfer portal recruiter like Musselman will benefit the team immensely.
