Alex Golesh Among Top Candidates for Arkansas Head Football Coaching Job

Alex Golesh, with a 22-15 record at USF and SEC offensive success, is reportedly offered Arkansas head coach role amid their search for a turnaround leader.

  • Trey Schaap tweeted Wednesday that `SOURCES: @CoachGolesh has accepted an offer to be the next Head Coach of @RazorbackFB,` as multiple outlets linked Alex Golesh to the Arkansas Razorbacks.
  • Golesh's recent success at USF, including signature wins over Boise State and Florida this year, has led to outside opportunities since Saturday's game, USF CEO Rob Higgins said.
  • Golesh's résumé includes rapid turnarounds at major programs, with Tennessee's scoring rank jumping from 108th to seventh and USF rebounding from 1-11 to a 7-6 season plus a 45-0 Boca Raton Bowl victory over Syracuse.
  • With the search winding down in Fayetteville, the University of Arkansas head-coaching search proceeds amid the Hogs' nine-game skid and Bobby Petrino's `Thank You` letter, while no hire is confirmed by KATV or university representatives.
  • Golesh's existing six-year, $15.3 million USF contract frames the timing as Arkansas finalizes its hiring process and USF says Golesh 'will soon be departing the program,' indicating a near-term decision.
