Coming off a rough season-ending 31–17 loss to border rival Missouri on Saturday, Arkansas has decided to hire Memphis coach Ryan Silverfield, Sports Illustrated’s Bryan Fischer confirmed on Sunday morning.
The Razorbacks fired coach Sam Pittman back on Sept. 28 after a rough start to his sixth season in Fayetteville. Bobby Petrino acted as interim coach for the remainder of the season. Arkansas finished last in the SEC with a 2–10 overall record and an 0–8 conference record.
