Arkansas could be looking for a new defensive coordinator according to a report.
Multiple sources told Football Scoop that Razorbacks DC Robb Smith is expected to leave for the same position at Wake Forest. Smith joined Arkansas in 2014 after working with Greg Schiano at Tampa Bay in 2013 and at Rutgers from 2009-12.
Arkansas ended its season on a low point, squandering a 24-point lead in the Belk Bowl to fall to Virginia Tech 35-24. The Hogs also ended the regular season with an upset loss to Missouri (4-8) 28-24.
Head coach Bret Bielema has shown interest in changing the defensive scheme from 4-3 to 3-4, possibly leading Smith to look elsewhere.
