The Arkansas Razorbacks have made it to three of the last five NCAA Tournaments under Mike Anderson, who has been in Fayetteville for eight seasons.
However, after a disappointing collapse at the end of this season and an early exit in the NIT, frustrations have boiled over.
Now, it is being reported that Anderson is officially out as head coach of the Razorbacks, per reporter Kevin McPherson:

Where he ends up next remains to be seen, but the Hogs are now searching for a new coach for the first time in eight seasons.
