Sam Pittman’s first impression upon Razorback Nation lends the notion that Arkansas’ new head football coach is the one many wanted all along.
For the sake of Razorback athletics, let’s hope that feeling is reinforced by everything Pittman does to make Arkansas football relevant again after it slept with the fishes in this decade.
Associate head coach at the University of Georgia, where he coached the offensive line, Pittman does not need a city map of Fayetteville, previously having coached three years at UA under Bret Bielema. The first cracks in Bielema’s program were detected when the jewels of his first Razorback staff — Pittman, Jim Chaney, Chris Ash and Randy Shannon among others — went elsewhere.
