I really like him as a person
What is going on around here? How do all of you know him so well? Let's be clear about something concerning football coaches. No matter what kind of good 'ole boy show they put on for the cameras, most every football coach in college or the NFL has had a mean streak somewhere in their personality at some time.
That is what makes them gravitate to football. Football is a game played by tough men that do bad things on the field and usually are alpha-male personalities that like to dominate.
It takes what many would consider bullies to keep them in line many times. A whole lot of coaches put on a golly, aw-shucks show for the interviews and then go out on the field and strike fear into the type of people who many times don't respect anything but that type of personality.
Even meek and mild seeming Lou Holtz was known to be an a-hole a lot of the time. I'm genuinely curious how a consensus has seemingly been reached in so short a period of time, 4 games, that Sam Pittman is basically the best, most moral, decent, ethical, and honorable man to ever come down the pike in our whole lifetimes?

I mean yeah you can be a good person and a players coach while also being a hardass on the field.
Petrino was as tough and foul-mouthed as any coach in the country during practice. The problem is he was the same way to people in other areas of life, just a complete a-hole. People and former players respect Pittman because he knows how to separate the two.

What you apparently do not know is that Pittman coached the OL at Arkansas for several years, so we already know what he's like. One reason he got the job is because his former players campaigned for him and acted as liaisons.
He turned down Saban in 2014, but left for Georgia after getting fed up with Bert, understandably. Go back and read our comments to Georgia fans and you'll see that we told them Pittman was a great OL coach and a great guy. After spending the past 4 years at Georgia, they obviously agree.
When he coached at Arkansas before, the players loved him. Now he's back with different players and they seem to love him, too. I've also seen Tennessee fans say he was a great guy from when he worked there. If that's not enough for you, then so be it.
