Report: John Calipari Signing 5-Year Deal to Become Head Coach at Arkansas

Multiple sources are reporting that John Calipari has reached an agreement to become the new men’s basketball coach at Arkansas.

 

ESPN's Pete Thamel reported late Sunday night that, “Calipari's contract is expected to have an overall base salary of slightly less than the $8.5 million he's making at Kentucky. However, the deal is expected to be incentive laden with the ability to pass that number.”

 

Nothing has been announced by either Arkansas or Kentucky at this time and Kentucky Athletic Director Mitch Barnhart has told CBS Sports that he has not yet heard from Calipari about any talks with Arkansas.

 

The move comes less than two weeks after Barnhart appeared with Calipari on LEX-18 TV to discuss their relationship, the future of Kentucky basketball and their desire to exit well.

 

Coach Cal leaves with a record of (410-123) at Kentucky, six SEC championships, six SEC Tournament championships, four Final Four appearances and 1 national championship.
