2+ hour, 19+ min ago (253+ words) Arkansas didn't just make a coaching change, they made a statement. By hiring Ryan Silverfield away from Memphis, the Razorbacks made it clear they're tired of mediocrity and ready to chase real SEC relevance again. And honestly, it's hard not to see why Arkansas fans are buzzing about this move. Silverfield arrives with a strong resume. In six seasons leading Memphis, he posted a 5024 record, good for a .676 win percentage. That's not just winning, that's consistent, sustainable football. Add in a perfect 40 bowl record and you're looking at a coach who knows how to prepare, motivate, and deliver when the lights are brightest. The Razorbacks want to climb into the College Football Playoff conversation, and they're betting Silverfield's track record of building elite offenses can translate to the SEC grind. If he can bring even a fraction of Memphis' efficiency…...

The Razorbacks announced Silverfield as their 35th head coach with athletic director Hunter Yurachek saying Silverfield"s ability to win games over a sustained period separated him from the pack as the right choice. However, it isn"t what Yurachek said as much as what he posted and the overall hire which appear to be what people are responding to.

My closet is full of red, I"ve been to over 100 football games, and always…...

6+ hour, 49+ min ago (285+ words) The post USF's Alex Golesh calls out untrue Arkansas report, only to wind up at Auburn instead appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Arkansas search for a new head coach put Alex Golesh squarely in the rumor mill. After Sam Pittman's firing and a 2-9 Razorbacks season, multiple reports framed the USF football team coach as the favorite in Fayetteville, pointing to his rapid rebuild in Tampa and SEC ties from his Tennessee days. Publicly, though, nothing was confirmed, and Golesh kept coaching a Bulls team that surged to a nine-win regular season and blowout wins over UAB and Rice. Right after USF's 52-3 demolition of Rice, Golesh was asked directly about a report that had effectively labeled him "the next Arkansas coach." Speaking to reporters, he pushed back hard, saying the story did not come from him and was simply not true, as…...

13+ hour, 8+ min ago (1339+ words) BARTON COUNTY " The problem sounds easy: Kansas has too few houses for sale, especially in small, rural communities struggling to attract young people and new businesses. The simple answer is to build more houses. But those in real estate say this shortage has been years in the making, and it may take years and creative thinking to emerge from it. "We've been under-building for decades," said Mark Tomb, vice president of governmental affairs for the Kansas Association of Realtors. "We're just not building enough homes." If all goes as planned, efforts in Barton County may offer a blueprint. The county commission has tapped economic development funds and other resources to help housing developments in three communities. "If we were to announce one housing development in one city, it would be a big deal," Commissioner Shawn Hutchinson said. "In this case,…...
