This week we’re regrading the 2020 Coaching Carousel in the SEC. This weekend, we covered Eli Drinkwitz and the Missouri Tigers. While not a splash hire, his work points to incremental improvement and steady program-building. You can read that here.
Today, we look at the Razorback’s Sam Pittman, a career position coach tapped to take over a toxic Arkansas program stuck in its historical rut. It was a hire that widely panned at the time, and we were not alone in condemning it...though we were a bit harsher than most.
After one year, it appears we may have been wrong.
