FAYETTEVILLE — For Barry Lunney Jr., the role of Arkansas’ interim football coach also comes with another fill-in gig on the radio.
Lunney, who will coach the Razorbacks in their final two games of the 2019 season against LSU and Missouri, attended the Catfish Hole restaurant on Wednesday for the first of two installments of “On the Air with Barry Lunney Jr.” on affiliates of Razorback Sports Network.
As the show began, Lunney reminded that he and Arkansas football play-by-play voice Chuck Barrett, who hosts the coach’s show, had been on the radio together several times. In 1996, Lunney was the color commentator for Razorback baseball broadcasts anchored by Barrett.
