The search to replace George Ivory (resigned in April) as the head coach at Arkansas Pine Bluff is winding down. I have heard that there are two finalists, and the hiring could be made official any day. Here are the current odds:

Odds | Name | Current Job | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
2/1 | Solomon Bozeman | Assistant Coach - Oral Roberts | Has been at ORU since 2018. Played at Arkansas Little Rock, and also worked as an assistant there. Also spent two seasons as an assistant at Abilene Christian. |
6/1 | Shawn Forrest | Assistant Coach - Georgia Southern | The veteran assistant coach is the all-time leading scorer at UAPB. In addition to GSU, has had stops as an assistant at SMU, Western Kentucky, Arkansas St., Troy, and North Texas. |
50/1 | Field | I'm pretty confident that Bozeman and Forrest are the final two. Putting high odds on the field just in case something goes south. |
