Unless he's EXTREMELY successful at Arkansas, he won't have the negotiating leverage to use other schools to negotiate a better deal than what he has. There is zero chance of him getting a better offer than the one he has, unless he gets much better results than he did at Missouri.
I'm guessing the Shaka Smart train will pick up steam for next Mizzou head coach since he's the latest guy to beat Kansas. Bernie said he's heard they're still looking at Ben Jacobsen of Northern Iowa.
He increased MSU's win total every season he coached there(excluding his first season). Was a player at Purdue and was an assistant with Keady and Painter at Purdue.
