New Arkansas Coach Ryan Silverfield Says It Won't Take Long to Rebuild the Program
Ryan Silverfield signed a five-year, $33.5 million contract to quickly rebuild Arkansas football amid low attendance and a focus on name, image, and likeness funding.
- A five-year, $33.5 million contract sealed Ryan Silverfield's move to Arkansas Razorbacks on Thursday.
- After a September 28 loss, the program moved to replace its coach as Sam Pittman was fired and Bobby Petrino finished the season 2-10 with an 0-8 SEC record.
- Silverfield brings a 50-25 record from Memphis and on Monday secured four in-state commitments including Danny Beale III, a four-star defensive lineman, while saying `When the University of Arkansas called, I got excited`.
- Immediate player continuity and coach promises aim to stabilize the roster as quarterback KJ Jackson and defensive end Quincy Rhoads Jr. said they will return in 2026, and Silverfield vowed the rebuild 'won't take long.'
- Finances were a central theme in both negotiations and the public intro, with the loudspeaker at the press conference first asking for money and Hunter Yurachek stressing a year-long NIL contributions push.
