FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas has hired Kolby Smith as interim offensive coordinator and Chris Wilson as interim defensive coordinator following several coaching changes in the program this week.
Wilson, 56, was an assistant defensive line coach for the Razorbacks prior to his promotion. He worked for the Houston Roughnecks of the UFL this spring and previously worked as a defensive coordinator at Colorado (2021-22) and Mississippi State (2011-12). He was a defensive line coach for the Philadelphia Eagles’ Super Bowl-winning team in 2017.
Smith, 40, has worked as the Razorbacks’ running backs since 2024. Smith played college football at Louisville for Bobby Petrino, who was promoted from offensive coordinator to interim head coach after Sam Pittman was fired Sunday.
