John Calipari Moves from Kentucky to Arkansas: What Texas Longhorns Could Expect in the SEC
Prior to their debut in the SEC, Texas Longhorns men’s basketball will have to negotiate a completely redesigned coaching staff.
AUSTIN: On Monday, July 1, the Texas Longhorns will formally join the SEC, marking a significant turning point in the university’s and its individual sports programs’ histories.
Understandably, Texas football has received the most attention from the SEC ahead of its arrival in the toughest conference in the sport. However, Texas men’s basketball is also about to embark on a chaotic new journey after events over the past few weeks culminated in a bombshell revelation about Kentucky Wildcats head coach John Calipari on Sunday night.
Calipari is moving southwest to Fayetteville to take over as head coach of the Arkansas Razorbacks after 15 incredible seasons in Lexington. Calipari, who replaced Eric Musselman when he left for a position at USC, has agreed to a five-year contract with the program, according to ESPN insider Pete Thamel.
Unlike football, the Longhorns will probably play every conference opponent at least once during the regular season, even though their official SEC basketball schedule is still unknown.

Although Terry has called Texas his dream job, it’s important to note that the other candidates have already established a championship legacy that Terry hopes to continue building at Texas.
But if the Longhorns are able to play in the SEC at a high standard for the next few seasons, Terry might be able to demand a new contract that is almost as high as the enormous sum Calipari agrees to at Arkansas.
Prior to anything else, though, he will need to manage his first season in the conference, which in 2024–2025 may include several first-year coaches.
The 12 coaching candidates for Calipari’s vacancy, arranged into three tiers, were made public by USA Today. The “top tier,” which included Bruce Pearl of Auburn and Buzz Williams of Texas A&M, represented the most likely candidates to be hired. With Pearl’s probable departure, Auburn’s coaching position would become available, bringing another new coach to the SEC. The same holds true for
