In a surprising move, the University of Arkansas has decided to part ways with offensive coordinator Dan Enos, citing disappointing results in the 2023 college football season. The decision was announced on Sunday by the team, following a 7-3 loss to Mississippi State. Enos, who also served as the quarterbacks coach, had only been with the program for one season.

The Razorbacks' offense has struggled greatly this year, ranking last in the SEC and 119th nationally in total offense, managing only 305.9 yards per game. Their scoring average of 26.5 points per game also places them at the bottom of the conference, making them one of the six SEC teams averaging less than 30 points per game. The passing game has been particularly weak, with Arkansas ranking third-worst in the conference with 196.9 passing yards per game, while their rushing attack sits at 109 yards per game.

The loss to Mississippi State marked the team's sixth consecutive defeat and further highlighted their offensive struggles. Arkansas has failed to score more than 22 points in their last four games, leading to growing frustration among fans and administrators alike. With four games remaining in the regular season, the university decided to make a coaching change in hopes of sparking some improvement.

Stepping into the interim offensive coordinator role will be wide receivers coach Kenny Guiton. Guiton, a former Ohio State quarterback, joined the Razorbacks' coaching staff in 2021 and, despite limited play-calling experience, will now have the opportunity to make an impact.

The university has given Guiton some time to acclimate to his new position, as the team has a bye week before their next game against Florida on November 4. This break will allow the interim coordinator to evaluate and make any necessary adjustments to the struggling offense.

Enos, who previously held the position of offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach from 2015-2017, joined the Razorbacks' staff in the offseason after serving as the offensive coordinator at Maryland for two years. His return to Arkansas was met with high expectations, but unfortunately, the team's performance fell short of those hopes.

As Arkansas continues to search for answers and solutions to their offensive woes, the firing of Dan Enos serves as a clear message that changes need to be made. Fans and administrators alike will be eagerly watching to see if Guiton can breathe new life into an ailing offense and salvage the remainder of the Razorbacks' season.

The team's next game against Florida will be a crucial test for Guiton and the offensive unit. Whether this coaching change will be the spark the team needs to turn their season around remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: Arkansas is determined to make a statement and improve their performance in these final games of the 2023 season.
