MOBILE, Ala. -- Being a coach's son often implies an itinerant lifestyle. Kane Wommack was by no means an exception.
He was born in Springfield, Mo., and spent a couple years in Las Vegas. But Wommack considers himself relatively lucky. Once his dad, Dave, took a job at Southern Mississippi prior to the 1994 season, the Wommack family settled down for a while.
Over the next decade-plus, Kane knew just two places as home: First Hattiesburg, Miss., then Fayetteville.
It was the latter where football became more than just part of Wommack's life.
"You were coming [to Fayetteville] to be a part of the rich tradition and history of Arkansas football," Wommack told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette earlier this week.
