A month has passed since Arkansas fired Sam Pittman to become the first SEC school in what has become a wild coaching carousel this year.
The timing of his dismissal gave the Razorbacks and (possibly) athletics director Hunter Yurachek a long runway to not only make a critical hire, but also give Bobby Petrino a trial run to see if he could recapture the magic of 2010-11.
With a pair of heartbreaking losses to top-15 teams and an epic fourth-quarter meltdown against Auburn, it’s looking more and more like the UA gave the OC-turned-interim coach the “trap door” and will likely look elsewhere for its next head coach.
