A special focus

FAYETTEVILLE -- Sam Pittman didn't have to look far to secure his first special teams coordinator at the University of Arkansas.

Scott Fountain was right there in the neighborhood.

"The decision was that I thought he was the best guy out there available, and all I had to do was walk across the street because he lived right across the street from me," Pittman said.

The street was in Athens, Ga., and Fountain, the Alabama native, was valued because he has excelled at a series of hugely successful programs and coached in four national championship games.
