CBS Host’s Joke about State of Arkansas Football Gives Silverfield More of What He Needs

Arkansas fans disagree about plenty. It’s practically a sport within the sport.

But throughout this search, there was one rare point of total unity: Hardly anybody wanted Ryan Silverfield.

And that’s not just personal opinion, early fan reactions reflected the same sentiment.

Best of Arkansas Sports’ Andrew Hutchinson posted a poll to Twitter on Saturday asking fans to choose their personal preference among four choices: USF head coach Alex Golesh, Alabama defensive coordinator Kane Wommack, Silverfield and interim head coach Bobby Petrino.

Not only was Silverfield dead last among that quartet, but less than 6% of the nearly 4,000 respondents picked him.
