he’s done about as well as he could recruiting since he’s taken the job. Huge DC hire and some nice assistant additions as well.

They loved Matt Luke too.
"He is an Ole Miss guy. You won't find anyone that wants this job more than him"
"Matt Luke is the perfect guy for Ole Miss. He knows the kind of culture he needs to create to win"
"Trump needs to be impeached"
frick the national media.

Everyone knows that anyone who works at UGA for more than 3 years could step in and run any Fortune 500 company with ease. Bringing Arky back from the dead will be child's play for Pittman.
I actually think it was a good hire but that last point was laughable.

Sam Pittman = the SEC version of Freddie Kitchens

They love Kiffin.
They loved Morris.
They loved Bielema.
They hated Petrino.
Yada yada yada
It doesn't mean shite for anyone until you see wins and progress. Pittman is not Luke or Orgeron. He will make his own legacy, good or bad.
He did do a very fine job in a few days of recruiting and his hires.

Kind of, but there’s something to be said for spending the last 3 years at one of the most successful teams recently.

Only people who hate on Pittman don't know his history. He is a great coach, well respected throughout the country, and one of the best recruiters as well.
90% of the coaching industry have to google Drinkwitz to see who he is. He took over a 10 win team and maintained it... wow, so impressive! /s

Matt Luke was NEVER #1 Oline coach in the country.
Matt Luke was NEVER EVER #1 rated recruiter in the SEC.
Pittman was/is both as of last frikkin month.
We'll let teh UGA fans say who the better OLine coach is.

Sam Pittman = 2005 Ed Orgeron

Also, are they really though? I remember reading an article yesterday which seems to more accurately capture the prevailing sentiment....
quote:
The Razorbacks ran away with the award for most lampooned coaching search within the college athletics community.
quote:
The reaction from athletics director Hunter Yurachek’s colleagues over the last 10 days after hiring Pittman has been equal parts sympathy and bewilderment, as it’s hard to find anyone in college football who believes this will work.
quote:
One of them was Pittman, who had campaigned for the job from the very beginning but had fallen completely off the radar toward the end of the search. Then within a matter of hours on Dec. 8, Pittman went from outside the candidate pool to the head coach — a metaphorical throwing up of the hands on the part of Yurachek.
quote:
Now, Arkansas has no choice but to give Pittman some time. It seems unlikely it will work

Cue the “this guy is a hack!” replies in 3......2....1......

Define competitive. I am sure he can improve the program, but that's a far cry from competing for the SEC West.

Wolken has many ex-boyfriends in Arkansas and has an axe to grind.
He’s been shunned in his home state.

I would have thought it would take at a minimum 6 months to completely circumference him.
Posted on 12/19/19 at 2:15 pm to PorkSammich
I get everyone wants to think their new coach is a great hire. I get it. But hes not. He was a desperation hire who had to lobby to get the job. Arkansas fell for the "we got burned by Kiffin so we have to get someone quick to move on from the story" script. Arkansas could have waited a few more weeks and seen where coaches in the NFL wound up. It was a dumb hire

How hard is this at UGA? They are the premier footbally school (by an incredibly large margin) in a state that puts out a ton of talent. They have won the SEC East in back to back years.

If you didn't know Pittman's success at OL and recruiting prior to GA then I am not sure you need to comment. Dude!

May be, may not be. Nobody knows. A few weeks ago he was a position coach. Big, big jump.
