Count Arkansas football among the group competing to reel in a big fish from the same pond, just a month removed from firing head coach Sam Pittman. The Hogs’ dingy will now have to navigate choppy waters in the wake of LSU and Florida’s pontoon boats after the Tigers decided to fire Brian Kelly on Sunday.
