Arkansas defensive back Simeon Blair (15) attempts to tackle Texas A&M wide receiver Yulkeith Brown (8) on Saturday, September 24, 2022, during the third quarter of a football game at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

FAYETTEVILLE — University of Arkansas Coach Sam Pittman talked about a troubling trend through four games, broke down some of the Razorbacks’ issues from their 23-21 loss to Texas A&M and peeled back another layer in his personal history with Nick Saban at his weekly news conference on Monday.

Pittman’s decision to turn down an offer to join Saban’s staff at Alabama in the winter of 2013 is well known in college football circles, as it led to a raise and a promotion to associate head coach just a few weeks after he and buddy Jim Chaney joined the first Bret Bielema staff at Arkansas.
