I don’t understand this hiring at all. It’s nothing against Pittman. He could be a great coach. I honestly have no idea.
What I do know is that Arkansas should have found themselves a guy with a little more name recognition.

After losing out on Lane Kiffin, I’m willing to bet Arkansas started to panic, and that’s why they pulled the trigger on somebody who doesn’t have a ton of name recognition.
Hell, why not pick up the phone and call Mike Leach? I’m willing to bet Leach would have come to the Razorbacks and the SEC in a heartbeat.

Instead, they’ve gone with Pittman to lead the way. We’ll see how it works out, but there’s no doubt he has a massive rebuilding project ahead of him.
