Bielema: I helped his career quite a bit
Arkansas coach Bret Bielema (left) and offensive line coach Sam Pittman watch Thursday, Aug. 13, 2015, as defensive and offensive players spar during practice at the university practice field in Fayetteville.The departure of offensive line coach Sam Pittman to Georgia is a big blow to Arkansas' recruiting efforts, but it could be softened a bit by Coach Bret Bielema's reputation for developing strong offensive lines.
"One hundred percent," Bielema said Saturday during a news conference in which he confirmed Pittman was leaving. "Sam is great. I enjoyed my time with him, but I helped his career quite a bit. He wasn't really a renowned offensive line guru until we got things rolling here."
