UPDATE: Originally, I was told that coach George Shelton was retiring due to medical reasons. However, after speaking with Shelton today, he sated the following:
"It's not a medical retirement, although I do have an issue that requires my attention," said Shelton. "I will have competed 29 years in education at the end of this school year, and I am excited about what God has in his plan for me."

Original Message after editing the info regarding the "medical retirement" that I was given last night:
A source close to the situation has informed ArkansasVarsity.com that interviews to replace Shelton will begin April 22nd, and the contract is supposed to be a 10 month contract in the beginning.
Best of luck to Coach Shelton. He has been a friend of this site for several years, and has helped me on several occasions.
