The candidates to replace John Calipari at Kentucky with Rick Pitino, Dan Hurley not expected
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Arguably the biggest job in college basketball was open on the night of the national championship game, setting the sport abuzz.
John Calipari is planning to take the job at Arkansas, leaving Kentucky after 15 seasons with one national championship and four Final Four appearances.
It is expected to be a five-year deal worth reportedly just south of $8.5 million per season.
After Eric Musselman left Arkansas for USC, the SEC school attempted to pivot to Jerome Tang of Kansas State and Chris Beard of Ole Miss, but both coaches opted to remain at their respective schools.
It led to this stunning turn of events.
Everyone now wants to know who will replace Calipari, a coaching giant in the sport who has produced a first-round pick in 16 straight seasons, in Lexington.
