A few days ago, we wrote about one contract detail with James Franklin taking the Virginia Tech job that favored FSU. It was the offsetting language in his contract with Penn State that allowed him to take another coaching job.

There’s another coach who Sexton represents, Memphis head coach Ryan Silverfield, and Silverfield has emerged as a potential candidate for the Arkansas job:
Pete Thamel just said Eric Morris, Ryan Silverfield, Alex Golesh, & Kane Wommack are the 4 names that could come to a resolution in the coming days.
