Reports: Arkansas to hire Memphis' Ryan Silverfield as coach
Memphis' head coach Ryan Silverfield walks to the sidelines after a timeout during the game between Memphis and Tulane at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium in Memphis, Tenn., on November 7, 2025. Arkansas is expected to name Memphis' Ryan Silverfield as its next coach, multiple media outlets reported Sunday.
Silverfield, 45, guided the Tigers to an 8-4 record this season and a 50-24 mark since replacing Mike Norvell as the team's coach in December 2019. Norvell left for Florida State prior to the team's game in the Cotton Bowl.
The Razorbacks need to replace Sam Pittman, who was fired on Sept. 28 -- one day after the team dropped a 56-13 decision at home to Notre Dame. Bobby Petrino served as the interim head coach following Pittman's departure.
Pittman was 32-34 overall with the Razorbacks.
Arkansas (2-10, 0-8 Southeastern Conference) dropped its 10th straight game on Saturday with a 31-17 setback to Missouri.
