Sam Pittman to Arkansas

love Pittman

 

Guess Arkansas wants a guy that accumulate talent, but not develop it.

 

I like this hire

 

UGA in rooins

 

Interesting

 

i think it would be ok if he wasn’t just going to hire his fat twin chaney

 

third fat person sal sunseri as dc

 

This is a really boring low floor hire

 

1 for 2 is better than 0 for 2

 

good thing chad stocked the roster with players for the exact opposite system

 

Plan C recruits beware

 

did he though?

 

No. No he did not.

 

didn’t say they were talented

 

Considering what Arkansas has been through I think they recovered quite nicely with this hire. It could be worse, this seems somewhat safe.

 

Has he ever been an OC?

 

Good question. Nope!

 

What is safe about a 58 year old that’s never even been an OC let alone HC?

 

We just want to win a conference game at this point

 

Arkansas has had lots of good experiences with former OL coaches turned head coach.

 

Tons of safe.

 

Holy cow! That's a whale of a hire. Fat chance this will backfire.

 

I don’t see a Wikipedia for this gentleman so guess I can’t do any research on him

 

The Muschamp experiment made me hesitant about coordinators as head coaches so this sort of blows my mind.

 

Seems similar to Matt Luke. Which would be a step in the right direction at least.

 

Nothing at all can go wrong because all our team is awesome so thanks.

 

Why not Willie Fritz?

 

He probably said no thanks

 

...why would that be a good thing lmao

 

This must be a mistake this gentleman doesn't even have a Wikipedia page.

 

Danny west saying odom would be his DC

That would be tight

 

Isn't Odom considered the favorite to take over at Memphis?

 

Add another SEC team with a better OC than the #Georgia Bulldogs

 

Yes, norvell would target him at fsu too imo

 

Not an ideal situation but think its a good hire for Arkansas given the reasons they got turned away by so many first choice candidates

He wants to be there, loves the state and program. And he's at least going to be a placeholder that will restock the talent pool for 4/5 years before the next guy can come in.

 

If he hires good coordinators and recruits like I think he will then I actually like this

I hated the Chad hired from day 1 and him bringing his entire offnsibr staff from smu gave him no shot

Pittman will hire adults

 

OL coaches are OL coaches, not head coaches

 

They are shooting for SEC wins not championships. This at least gives them a chance at that.

 

He was head coach at some jucos in Kansas back in the day.

 

I actually love this hire

 

How often does “if he hires a good staff he’ll be fine” hires actually work out?

 

Gene Chizik for a year or so.
