4/7/19 - The University of Arkansas has hired Nevada's Eric Musselman as new men's head basketball coach and will introduce him as Head Hog during a 3 p.m. press conference on Monday at Bud Walton Arena in Fayetteville.

Musselman, 54, becomes Arkansas's fifth men's head basketball coach since the Hogs joined the Southeastern Conference in 1991-92, following in the footsteps of Naismith Hall of Fame coach Nolan Richardson, Stan Heath, John Pelphrey, and Mike Anderson. Musselman replaces Anderson, who after eight seasons was relieved of his head coaching duties by Arkansas athletic director Hunter Yurachek on Tuesday, March 26.

As RTR91 has indicated in is new SEC coaches thread, new SEC coaches are a mixed bag. Thoughts on Musselman?

Glad we got Oats when we did.
Yeah, and a tip of the topper to the AD Byrne for swooping in, as - letting y'all in on a little secret - UCLA should have put the full-court press on Oats instead of Barnes and Cal, if only because Oats' PAC-12 "softness" retort last year after Buffalo thrashed Arizona was a cold hard truth that he was better qualified to address in Westwood than the aforementioned (well, maybe not Cal, but certainly Barnes...).

If we had gone full court press on Donovan, this might have been our head coach.

Buffalo fans have shown some frustration/irritation with Nate coming to Alabama, but Nevada fans seem pretty upset about this. Musselman's wife tweeted the below picture:
