Arkansas: Sources tell me that former San Francisco 49ers and Detroit Lions head coach Steve Mariucci is interested in the Arkansas head coaching job.  As of this morning, separate sources indicate to me that Arkansas AD Jeff Long has not spoken with Skip Holtz or Tommy Tuberville to this point.  Yet another source tells me that New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels would be willing to talk if contacted by Long.  There is no rush at all for Jeff Long.  Although coaches can leave campus for spring recruiting next week, head coaches are not allowed on the road during the spring recruiting period.  The Arkansas coaches will wait an extra week before going on the road for spring recruiting.

Here are the latest homepage articles & videos.
