Lights, Leadership, and a Razorback Reset
Arkansas’ new coach Ryan Silverfield is overhauling the program with obsessive attention to detail—from upgrading stadium lighting and sound to data-driven, situational scrimmages that decided the starting quarterback (KJ Jackson over AJ Hill). He rebuilt the roster with about 80 new players, restructured the staff, and formed a student leadership council, then used rigorous film sessions to fix fundamentals and discipline. Despite a tough SEC slate and a modest roster, Silverfield emphasizes alignment, accountability, and a “loser mentality” reversal as the foundation for a potential turnaround.
