It was thought that by today Sam Pittman would be up to his neck in spring football for the University of Arkansas.
Monday was supposed to be the start of spring practice, but all spring sports have been canceled by the SEC in hopes of containing the coronavirus.
This makes it especially difficult for a new coach who is familiar with his team only by watching film and conducting a few short interviews.
He and his staff were looking forward to putting eyeballs on the players.
Pittman always has been an assistant who worked however many hours it took, and he’s ready to add to that load in his first job as a head coach.
