Report: Ex-UCLA Coach Steve Alford 'in the Mix' for Arkansas Opening

The Arkansas Razorbacks finished the 2018-19 men's basketball season with an 18-16 record that resulted in the firing of eight-year head coach Mike Anderson.

Former UCLA head coach Steve Alford might be patrolling the Arkansas sideline in his place, as Stadium's Jeff Goodman reported Tuesday evening that Alford's name is in the mix.

Earlier Tuesday, Goodman also relayed that Nevada head coach Eric Musselman as a "serious candidate" for the Razorbacks' vacancy.

Under Anderson, the Razorbacks made three NCAA tournament trips but never beyond the second round. Overall, Anderson posted a 169-102 record since 2011.
