Arkansas moves on from Sam Pittman, makes Bobby Petrino Interim head coach

Pittman started his tenure at Arkansas under some of the worst circumstances. It was right after the aforementioned Morris drove the program to historic lows. He also took the reins right before COVID-19 swept through the nation, forcing the SEC to play a 10-game all-conference schedule.

He led the Hogs to a 3-7 record against that schedule, which seemed like a massive upgrade from Morris.
