Would Walker stay?

The biggest problem lower-level programs face in raising their status on the national basketball stage is getting - and keeping - a good coach. The good ones are out there, but the really good ones are really hard to keep. Some higher-level school will pick them off after a few years (or after even one year, as we know only too well).

Whenever you hire a coach with some sort of connection to the general area, you always hope that this might be the one who would stay, even if he were successful, just because this is where he wants to be. Darrell Walker has Arkansas connections. He has yet to be even moderately successful, but it is worth wondering, if he did make it, would he stay? Would he be the one?
