Fisher wanted Pittman on first staff at Texas A&M

FAYETTEVILLE — Jimbo Fisher wanted Sam Pittman aboard his original staff at Texas A&M four years ago.

Soon after Fisher took the head coaching gig for the Aggies in December 2017, he checked in on Pittman, who was completing his second season on Kirby Smart’s Georgia staff with an SEC Championship Game win over Auburn and a College Football Playoff title game loss to Alabama.

The men will square off for the second time as head coaches on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. Central in Arlington, Texas, when the No. 16 Razorbacks (3-0) serve as host to the No.
