Outside of tRant a lot of fans wanted to give him another year and the players did as well which is at least a part of it and the other part we really don’t know for sure-culmination of different things.


Pittman came in when the Arkansas program was in shambles.

And in a short period of time he beat LSU, Texas, Missouri and aTm all in the same season. Something that had never been done before. Sometimes you just have to stand on integrity when you give a coach a contract extension.

In my eyes, Arkansas is a class act for giving Pittman another year.

Some people have short memories among other things.

That ended up being a fluke season as he had inherited talent from Chad and had the element of surprise.

He fired his agent, hired Jimmy Sexton and had leverage to get a raise.

Arkansas began the 2022 season picked 3rd in the West but finished 5th.

Arkansas entered the 2023 season in SEC being picked 5th in the West but ended up finishing 7th.
