Because he doesn't want to? Do you need any other reason?

This arky job is a downgrade
Yeah Arkansas isn't a blue blood like Kentucky but it's not like he's going to some podunk lower school, Arky has a rich enough basketball history with a title to its name. They have booster resources resources to be highly competitive in a major conference, and an administration and fanbase that cares a lot about hoops. It's not that big of a downgrade, he's going to be well compensated. I think a change of scenery might do him so good. He's been at Kentucky 15 years now.

No doubt. Not saying they should just concede football--they do have money to compete--but if they focused that money and those resources more on basketball and baseball, they could compete for championships in those sports every year. The SEC doesn't have great basketball history outside of Kentucky (and Kentucky's recent history isn't super sexy). Depending on who Kentucky hires, it wouldn't surprise me if Cal and Arkansas' basketball fan base are both rejuvenated and they're the best program in the SEC in the next couple of years. Dude's taken UMASS, Memphis, and Kentucky to the Final Four and was an NBA coach for 4-5 years. I wouldn't be surprised if he wins an NC in Fayetteville before he hangs em up. I may actually be more surprised if he doesn't.
