How Arkansas Razorbacks redefined their place in the SEC hierarchy with two moves | Toppmeyer

Coaching Arkansas football was not a most appealing job after the Razorbacks fired Chad Morris in 2019, and some coaching candidates said as much to Arkansas athletics director Hunter Yurachek.

“Many coaches that I talked to said, ‘You can’t win at the University of Arkansas. I don’t believe I can be successful at the University of Arkansas. That’s an uphill battle being in the SEC West,’” Yurachek recalled Friday, during an interview with the USA TODAY Network.

Sam Pittman never said any of those things to me. He told me how you could win at the University of Arkansas.
