Arkansas fans protest hiring of Ryan Silverfield

  • University of Memphis head coach Ryan Silverfield is reportedly leaving Memphis to become Arkansas Razorbacks' new head coach, with multiple reports saying Arkansas closed in on him before ESPN's announcement.
  • Arkansas fired Sam Pittman after a 2-3 start, creating the vacancy; Pittman finished with a 32-34 record at the Arkansas Razorbacks across six seasons.
  • Silverfield is 50-25 at Memphis, the program's winningest coach through five seasons, and led the Memphis Tigers football program to four consecutive bowl appearances, winning all those games.
  • Ed Scott, University of Memphis athletic director, confirmed the reports on Sunday, named Reggie Howard interim head coach, and said, `We are excited about the future of Memphis Football and the momentum of our program.`
  • After an 8-4 season that included a win over Arkansas, Silverfield faces a tougher SEC job as the Arkansas Razorbacks finished 2-10 under interim coach Bobby Petrino.
