Arkansas vice chancellor and director of athletics Hunter Yuracheck announced a contract extension for coach Sam Pittman on Thursday, tying him to the Razorbacks through at least the 2026 season.
The new contract raised Pittman’s base salary to $5 million annually with compensation escalators based on number of wins per season. He can additional bonuses based on postseason performance.
The new five-year contract for Pittman began retroactively on January 1, 2022 and is effective through December 31, 2026. The agreement has the potential to be extended an additional year through December 31, 2027 if Pittman leads the Razorbacks to seven wins in any one season.
