FAYETTEVILLE — Matt Zimmerman knows his position is unusual.
Now in his fourth season as the color analyst for the Razorbacks' radio network, Zimmerman is eight months removed from being let go by the University of Arkansas. The radio crew is employed by Learfield IMG College, separate of the university.
In the previous three seasons, Zimmerman’s radio gig had complemented his full-time job as the director of operations for the UA basketball team. But when Mike Anderson was fired as the Razorbacks’ head coach in March, so was most of his staff, including Zimmerman, who was with Anderson for all eight years in Fayetteville and for 17 years overall.
