The Arkansas Razorbacks reportedly fired coach Mike Anderson on Tuesday, ending his eight-year tenure with the program.
Anderson made it to three NCAA Tournaments in his eight years, and though he never had a losing record, this year’s late-season collapse amplified frustrations in Fayetteville.
Now, the Hogs are on the hunt for a new coach, but there might be some transfers coming. After news broke about Anderson’s firing, players were none too happy with Anderson being shown the door.
Several took to Twitter to express their frustrations, as you can see below:
