Arkansas is finalizing negotiations to hire South Florida’s Alex Golesh as its next head coach, multiple media outlets reported on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Golesh, 41, would return to the Southeastern Conference after serving as Tennessee’s offensive coordinator and tight ends coach in 2021 and 2022, respectively.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The Razorbacks are looking to replace Sam Pittman, who was fired on Sept. 28 — one day after the team dropped a 56-13 decision at home to Notre Dame. Bobby Petrino has served as the interim head coach since Pittman’s departure.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

While USF and Arkansas have yet to confirm the reports, Petrino took to social media to issue a “thank you” note.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Golesh sports an 8-3 record this season and 22-15 mark overall during his three campaigns at USF. He has guided the Bulls to bowl wins in each of his previous two seasons.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Prior to his arrival in South Florida, the Bulls limped to a 1-11 record in 2022.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
