FAYETTEVILLE -- If Sam Pittman fails to achieve success at the University of Arkansas, it won't be due to a lack of unity from the coaching staff.
One Razorback assistant after another spoke at Thursday's media availability about staff camaraderie and wanting to do well with Pittman. Perhaps the most vocal was defensive coordinator Barry Odom, who said he had many opportunities after being fired by Missouri soon after the Tigers' season-ending 24-14 victory over Arkansas, but he jumped at the chance to work with his longtime buddy Pittman.
"I'm excited to be part of this staff, a bunch of like-minded guys with zero ego, and I think you look at opportunities to be with really good people," Odom said.
