UA to search on two fronts

FAYETTEVILLE -- The University of Arkansas, Fayetteville is now searching for an athletic director and a head football coach.

Julie Cromer Peoples became Arkansas' interim athletic director Nov. 15 after Jeff Long was fired, and defensive coordinator Paul Rhoads became the interim football coach when Bret Bielema was informed by Cromer Peoples he was fired Friday moments after Missouri's 48-45 victory over the Razorbacks.
