FAYETTEVILLE University of Arkansas fifth-year running backs coach Jimmy Smith has resigned his position with the Razorbacks, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette has learned, and is reportedly in line to take the same job at TCU.
After going almost exclusively with linebackers Chris "Pooh" Paul and Jaheim Thomas in back-to-back games against BYU and LSU, defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Travis Williams gave reserves Jordan Crook, Antonio Grier and Brad Spence solid work last week against Texas A&M.
The University of Arkansas linebacking corps has undergone an interesting transformation since the end of spring drills and it continues to evolve as the Razorbacks face Kent State at 3 p.m. on Saturday.
