context_section_description: John Pelphrey was hired as the head coach of the Arkansas Razorbacks on Monday, April 9, 2007. Pelphrey was hired after Dana Altman accepted the job and resigned within a day.

In Pelphrey's second year, the Razorbacks struggled in conference play after starting the season 12-1 in non-conference games with two notable wins over the nationally ranked Oklahoma Sooners (#4) and the Texas Longhorns (#7). Conference wins were few and far between giving the Razorbacks a final conference record of 2-14. On March 13, 2011 John Pelphrey was dismissed as the head coach of the Razorbacks after an 18-13 season in which the Hogs missed postseason play for the third consecutive season, despite an impressive incoming recruiting class.
