An unnamed source has told the Associated Press that Arkansas will hire former Michigan State coach John L. Smith as its interim football coach to replace Bobby Petrino next season. Smith, who left the Razorbacks after last season to become the coach at Weber State, is returning on a one-year appointment, according to the person who spoke today on condition of anonymity because the school had not made its decision public.
