Sam Pittman introduced as Arkansas Razorbacks head football coach

Monday afternoon news conference to honor new head Hog.

[@sethseliga5725]

Damn. Looking back on this 2 weeks after his second year has ended and we went 9-4 with an Outback bowl win over Penn State 24-10. This man is special

[@Cavitt]

For real. I didn’t remember who he was when we hired him, but I could tell he was serious. He is the embodiment of Arkansas. Shuts his mouth when it matters and lets the results speak for him.

[@lennywatt662]

@@Cavitt, alot of people didn't know who he was, but now he's making a name for himself

[@chicagobear6175]

Now we need to get a new offensive and defensive coordinator. Some people think Sam is the reason we’re doing bad right now, but I’m over here like, this man took this dried up football team and took them to a bowl game in his 2nd year and had a winning record. Like c’mon

[@Dustinwhy8]

We got something special here folks. Look at the support in that room...the passion. It's a beautiful thing.

[@giornogiovanna836]

@Dra O this comment made zero sense.

[@joeblow2069]

He has no credentials to be an SEC head coach! 2 years at a community college with an 11-9 record? Why did they not hire Butch Jones?

He’s turned out great! We need Briles and our D coordinator out of here!!!

[@spliceoncharlie]

Excited about the new coach. Coach Pittman is an Arkansas guy and this Arkansas football program was needing an Arkansas guy. GO HOG'S!!!!!

[@randywatson9585]

Good for the Arkansas fans. Finding optimism when you’ve been lost in darkness for so long is a very good feeling. Reminds one what it feels like to feel good again...optimism...what a catalyst it can be. Although....it doesn’t sound too much like Pittman has the confidence nor the desire to sign a player that grew up beyond the state line. Y’all can have em all, and again, good for y’all.

[@spliceoncharlie]

@@randywatson9585 Obviously you haven't talked to the recruits that live outside of Arkansas who are coming here because of Coach Pittman. Recruits that were headed to other schools, especially ones from the SEC east, are flipping their commitments to follow Coach Pittman to Arkansas to be Razorbacks. Coach Pittman is known nationally as one of the best recruiters. Good for Arkansas, we will take them all as Razorbacks. We got nowhere to go but up, so look out the Razorbacks are coming. GO HOG'S!!!!!

[@joeblow2069]

He has no head coaching experience at a real college! He will fail.

[@spliceoncharlie]

@@joeblow2069 It's been over a year and Coach Pittman is still on the way up moving the program in a positive direction. You sound like someone who is always crying in their beer and constantly complaining. Going bowling this year. GO Hog's!!!

Dra O money may be the drive, but he cares more for Arkansas than the last coach they let go and it shows and I my friend am blue collared and I have work and hard my life and to say that meant a lot to me ...

[@johnsmithSongbird]

I have watched the Razorbacks for 58 years This team and fans need to turn the tradition around and play like we once did Think From 1964 -1969 Frank had 68 wins and maybe 5 losses The fans were the loudest in the nation

[@LovelyTuber0418]

They had something to be loud about vs now. Fans have always been there bad decisions on the hill have almost ruined the program. It started going down fast when petrino left and the new coaches search since then has destroyed the football program.

[@tommyhallum2054]

Sam pittman has done it. Hes turned us around a lot faster than I imagined but we are so proud of him.

Couple of years later and after beating 15th ranked Texas, Sam IS Arkansas. Edit: That blue collar mentality is working well.

Coming in fresh after that Texas dub 😎

There is going to be haters in every bunch. I'm sure Coach Pittman has seen it and heard all the haters and doubters but it's going to be all right back on the hill in Fayetteville once again this guy is the real deal,he's the real head hog! You don't get to the pinnacle in college football like Sam Pittman. He is was the best at his position there is and a recruiter. Alabama was going after Coach Pittman to hire him when Hunter Yurachek hired him as Arkansas new Head Coach. People Coach Pittman is going to be a great head coach here at Arkansas. The difference between Pittman and the rest? Pittman genuinely loves the University of Arkansas it's not just a job! The other guys it was their job. Look at the last snake oil salesman 2 yrs 4-18 record. SEC record 0-14...Thanks Julia Cromer Peoples for trying to our football program the death penalty! For you folks out there not familiar with her...Julia put on her blinders and went and hired and brought Chad Morris to the university of arkansas. She should have to pay him she wanted him,got him and brought him here!!!

[@TheCoachsam522]

Ronnie Copeland -Alabama was not going after Pittman in any capacity. Curt Flood is the OL coach at Alabama and very secure in this role.

[@ronniecopeland5448]

@@TheCoachsam522 Well Coach Sam correct 247 sports that is where I read the article. I believe it would have been a moot point seeing Pittman was hired by Arkansas.

Stop with the emotion and start using your heads. There are decent to good coaches getting fired all the time. I mentioned Butch Jones, Kevin Sumlin and Jim McElwain. Guys with winning records in the SEC. Guys who can recruit in the SEC! Not some guy who delivered mediocre results at a community college!
