His agent is really working Mizzou v Ark.
Yup. He is Arkansas plan D. And has been.

Plan C is Harsin. If Harsin says no, then Drink is ready but has a large list of demands/requests. To help leverage that, he's interviewed with Mizzou as well.

Arkansas AD has a tough decision to make. Agree to Drinks requests for their plan D and a coach with only 1 year experience with another coach's players? Or pass on him for someone like Butch Davis.

I have no idea if Drink will take the Arkansas job if offered. He could just be leveraging all of this to get more from us.

We just have to let it play out.
I'm hearing he turned down Arkansas. Being from Arkansas, that's saying a lot about the program.

Now we have to worry about Mizzou.

When should we start hearing? I was expecting to hear more coaching commitments today.

Reading the same. IF true, how embarrassing for them.

He may be playing hardball with Arkansas and using a Mizzou as leverage. If he doesn’t get what he wants, he can hold out and continue to develop what he has here and get himself more experience for the next offer.

As I said a 5-year contract and 3.5 mil or he ain’t touching Arky. He saw what happened to the last coach after 2

Ugh. People said this was a possibility but I really didn't think it would happen after one year. I know it's not a done deal yet but there is a lot of smoke.

How desperate are these schools? I mean Drink's been good so far but as so many have pointed out he's not even playing with his own guys. You'd think that would be a major concern when it's also been said recruiting isn't his strong suit. I wonder if he's overplaying his hand?

The hold up at Arkansas was not agreeing on the buy out number. I can't imagine Mizzou would have more money than Jerry Jones and John Tyson to pony up.. but, he is a top candidate for Mizzou right now.

I guess but it's far from clear his departure is the cause. I mean they've been plagued with injuries too right?
