FAYETTEVILLE — Over the next two weeks, a lot will be written about Chad Walker’s coaching tree. The branches stem from Nick Saban and Will Muschamp, head coaches at Alabama and South Carolina, respectively.
Walker is in his first year as outside linebackers coach at Arkansas. Bret Bielema plucked him off the Atlanta Falcons staff where he was an assistant secondary coach.
The Hogs play at South Carolina this week. Muschamp learned under Saban at LSU, where Walker was first a student assistant and later a graduate assistant. Walker followed Saban and Muschamp to the Miami Dolphins.
