Pittman came in when the Arkansas program was in shambles.
And in a short period of time he beat LSU, Texas 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.

I like Pittman. I wanted him to succeed.
A career position coach. Put kids in the league. And, by all accounts, all his former players cherish him.
Arkansas offered him a job he never dreamed was possible. It was heartwarming. Seeing that dude up on stage when he took the job, you could tell it was a dream for him. It meant a lot.
I'll be happy as hell if the guy can turn it around next year, but the odds of that happening are slim to none.
So we're basically just kicking the can down the road, unless a miracle happens and we win 8+ games next year.
I don't know if he could survive with 6/7 wins.
Just frustrating because of the horrendous offense due to the abysmal OL play this year. Something Pittman should have addressed before the season in recruiting.
