Pittman at his press conference:

Last time I was here at Arkansas we played bully ball. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn’t. I’m going to implement an RPO system.

**edit

“But I don’t think you can just turn around down and down and hand the ball off to the tailback and say let’s go sic’em. You might be able to do it in the third and fourth quarter, but so what we want is to be versatile. I love the RPO game, I like the quarterback read game. I like the 11 which is one tight end and three wide outs. I like to throw the flash screens and different things that is into the RPO system.”

I thought it sounded like he would be the last person he’d want. He doesn’t want to play bully ball anymore.

I can’t believe he got promoted from an OL coach to an SEC head coach. Really don’t see this working out for him long term in that division but hope he does well

They were desperate for a recruiter. They got one of the best.

They also knew he desperately wanted the job and he’s a guy everyone knows in Arky.

Sounds like a potential dig to me

I think we need a little diggin. Kirby needs to admit life around him especially the direction of sports changes. He’s stuck in early 2000 bama bully ball days and we need a change

I means that offense he is describing is basically what we ran all year. Just don't have the threat of a Running QB.

Think he was referring to when Bret was there and not taking a shot at UGA

Correct. No idea why people read it any other way. I think he’s also acknowledging that Arkansas is not as talented as some of the SEC schools up front.

Why use the term sic ‘em if you aren’t throwing shade at UGA? Dead giveaway there.

Did you see the context?

Practices will be physical and fast. We'll walk through some situations. It's hard if you're not tough every day to continue to be tough. We have to instill toughness and fight in this program. Not saying it wasn't there, but we're going to be a sic'em football team. We're going to pride ourselves on our toughness.

Sissies looking to be offended will whine about anything.

I appreciate Sam's time here and I think he benefitted from having epic talent at tailback while here. That's the way it goes, hopefully the next guy can get more out of this line.

You guys realize this is what we run. Jake just never keeps it and isn't a threat to. Also, Our blocking scheme and execution this year were dreadful inside.

I must have misread it. Thought it said they WERENT going to just go out there and say sic’em...it was late, I was sleepy. That’s my excuse.
