Arkansas is now in the market for a defensive coordinator.

Coach Bobby Petrino issued a statement on Tuesday confirming that Willy Robinson has "resigned." Robinson has been with the program since 2008, but the Razorbacks have consistently struggled on defense.

Petrino's statement:

"I want to thank Willy Robinson for his role in helping our defense, which he leaves in better shape than when he arrived. I have the utmost respect for Willy Robinson as an individual who wants the best for the young men he coaches. I give Willy credit for his part in the building process the last four years and wish him future success.”
