FAYETTEVILLE -- A relatively quiet day for the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville athletic department wound up with one big name eliminated from the search for an athletic director and no apparent movement on the coaching search.
Multiple sources with knowledge of the search said Arkansas checked on Texas Tech Athletic Director Kirby Hocutt's interest in the permanent athletic job and was told he wanted to remain in Lubbock, Texas.
The Lubbock Avalanche-Journal cited a Texas Tech source Wednesday as saying, "He'll be here. He's not going anywhere," in reference to Hocutt's potential candidacy for the job.
