Just to reiterate, we don’t have to improve much to improve our win total. What we’ve been doing isn’t absolutely horrible.
It just requires some tweaking to move us from 6 wins to 8+ wins.

This sounds like message board fan fiction.
No one would ever push that guy out. Ever.
If healthy hes a day 1 starter anywhere he wants to go.

Yeah if that's true we need to start taking a hard look on if Pittman is going to compete. We're not trash now but several years bad recruiting will certainly put us back there

Pittman has a hard time delivering whatever message he's trying to deliver. Some is probably lack of experience, but mostly I think he's just too honest.
He seems to take things a bit too personal at times. I feel like he got his chance about 10 years too late. The good ole boy game is long gone.

That may be the problem. Injury prone plus plays with reckless abandon. Not a productive combination.

We’re Arkansas. He’s going to go somewhere and play injury free the entire year. That’s not even a question.

He was our only decent defensive lineman they had besides Cameron Ball.

The most Arkansas thing ever would be for him to go to either Auburn or Ole Miss and win the National Championship.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I didn’t think their defense was that good.

The UCF defense came on strong down the stretch in 2021 under first-year defensive coordinator and linebacker coach Travis Williams—who was the Knights’ nominee for the Frank Broyles Award as the top assistant coach in the country.
UCF won six of its final seven games to close the season (finished off by a victory over Florida in the Gasparilla Bowl)—with Williams’ defense permitting only 11.8 points per game in those six combined victories. The Knights averaged 8.1 tackles for loss and 5.0 sacks in those six games—and finished the regular season ranked seventh nationally in pass efficiency defense (110.73) and 26th in tackles for loss (6.8 per game).
Among Williams’ most successful pupils was linebacker Tatum Bethune, who paced the Knights in tackles with 108 (his 9.0 average per game ranked second in the conference and 24th nationally). He earned first-team All-American Athletic Conference honors from Pro Football Network, second-team selection by Pro Football Focus and honorable mention notice in All-AAC voting by the league coaches. Linebacker Bryson Armstrong led the team in tackles until a late-season injury—but he still finished with 77 stops, helping him earn fourth-team All-AAC recognition from Phil Steele.
Other UCF defenders meriting All-AAC postseason recognition by vote of the league’s coaches were end Big Kat Bryant (first team), safety Divaad Wilson (second team) and Bethune (honorable mention). PFF also saluted safety Quadric Bullard (second team), cornerbacks Davonte Brown and Corey Thornton and Wilson (all third team)—plus end Tre’mon Morris-Brash. Phil Steele feted Bryant (first team), Wilson and Bullard (both fourth team). PFN also selected Bryant on its first team, plus naming him AAC Newcomer of the Year and AAC Defensive Lineman of the Year.
Williams’ first UCF defense improved 97 spots in the NCAA team pass efficiency defense rankings compared to 2020, 86 spots in passing yards allowed (89.1 fewer per game in 2021) and 70 in total defense (122.5 fewer yards allowed per game in 2021).
The former Auburn co-defensive coordinator, linebacker coach and recruiting coordinator was named UCF's defensive coordinator by Knight head coach Gus Malzahn on Feb. 17, 2021. He begins his second season at UCF in 2022.
Auburn finished in the top 17 in the nation in scoring defense under Williams in four of his last five seasons (2016-20) with the Tigers. Williams also mentored All-Southeastern Conference linebackers in three consecutive seasons.
During Williams' five seasons as linebacker coach under Malzahn, the Tigers ranked fifth nationally in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision, allowing only 54 combined rushing TDs (eight in 2016, nine in 2018).

Auburn fans are saying he’s a good recruiter
Posted on 12/17/22 at 2:41 pm to hawgfaninc
He could very well end up being a great coach, but it seems like it could be an underwhelming hire for recruits/ current players thinking about transferring
Posted on 12/17/22 at 2:59 pm to silverstreak
Got a "better deal" elsewhere, maybe? Or maybe it's the dreaded "culture" issue, which would seem funny as I thought all the players loved Sam.
