Overview

  • Arkansas-based host Trey Schapp reported Golesh accepted an offer, while FootballScoop said the sides are deep in negotiations and other candidates were told they were out.
  • No formal announcement has been made by Arkansas or Golesh, and reporting continues to describe the hire as not yet finalized.
  • USF CEO of athletics Rob Higgins posted that Golesh has been presented with outside opportunities and that the Bulls are in constant communication and ready for any scenario.
  • Golesh has led USF to a 22-15 record with consecutive bowl wins and an 8-3 start this season after previously serving as Tennessee’s offensive coordinator.
  • It remains unclear whether Golesh would finish USF’s season if a deal is completed, as Arkansas closes with interim Bobby Petrino and 247Sports has indicated Kane Wommack was believed to be the fallback option.
