Sam Pittman talks hiring Bobby Petrino as Arkansas OC

Arkansas Razorbacks head coach Sam Pittman talks about his decision to hire Bobby Petrino as the new offensive coordinator.

[@Boss_Hogg_1619]

I think the people that Pittman wanted, didn’t want the job, so he went with the last resort. This was a desperate move by him. He heard how a lot of people wanted Bobby P to be the HC.

[@ryancosby6605]

As a Mizzou and Missouri State Alum it's a great hire. VERY excited to see him back somewhere not under Jimbo inc.

[@dnlprls]

A&M did not want him. And now I am supposed to be excited?

[@pageboy25]

Jimbo got fired? Not Petrino? Elko was not going to abandon his OC from Duke lol.

[@lukebeall5590]

A&M got exponentially better when Bobby came in

[@scottwidner7994]

Why do yall think petrino is the fix?

[@C.V._McCullar]

I don't.

[@ramonacapps5071]

No problem with petrino problem is with pittman- plays same people over and over even when winning or down beyond hope-doesn’t give enough players game time to build a team for the future then when a good player is injured no backup- KJ perfect example-after 5 years every sec defense knows his moves then when injured bo one to replace him Missouri made fools out us at home so glad KJ will be leaving Don’t get me wrong KJ did a great job and I appreciate everything that he tried to do for the Razorbacks but after five years don’t you think that he would be going to the NFL if he was all that good instead of just transferring to another college team and he definitely needs to get out of the SEC

Pittman is history….

[@btlnh2001]

Pitman is on the hot seat, but if he's a good general he can be a legend in our state. You can lose battles, and win wars, and be considered a genius... Lesson one is humility and our coach is showing it in hiring someone that could possibly be his replacement takes a special person to do that. I'm on this bus.

[@jvshangout]

Woo Pig Sooie! Let’s go!

[@arkansas225]

Agree, Sam could be tired from the big game last night. But he is hard to read if he is excited. He may be a little nervous.

[@btlnh2001]

Those are the best leaders. He needs to let his coaches, coach and just be the general.

[@jakestarhomie]

These questions are starting to get a lil outta hand man.

[@mikenaidoff9866]

Pittman is the man

[@marquis3733]

Kj ain’t coming back

[@Michael-jw6et]

And that's just fine by me.

[@curtistay8307]

This is a weak recruiting class 29 in the country i hope your suitcases are packed cuz your leaving on a bus

[@shawtv1733]

WPS ❤

[@heroblake6572]

This is Sam’s greatest achievement to date other than a 9 win season in 2021.

[@paulwhite5840]

I never would have thought BP would be back, but I'm glad he is. To those saying aTm didn't want him tells me their new coaching prospect is too intimidated to keep Bobby.

[@NOLAWSMFP1028]

Pittman is a joke, the new Vandy

[@jeneenhousdan]

Go HOGS

[@jeneenhousdan]

Sam seems sad. I hope he wants this. I'm happy Bobby is back..but I like sam

[@Mr.C901]

He knows his replacement is now ON CAMPUS. He should be nervous.

[@ChadRazorback]

@@Mr.C901 I don't really think that is the case, but assuming it was. If competition helps to make better players could it also not be said about making better coaches?

[@Dinglemcberryburg]

U like sam? Why.

[@Hawgsareback]

What if Sam just simply looked at Bobby and thought, this is what Arkansas needs to win. I think Sam's primary focus is to see Arkansas be successful. I think Sam did this for the love of the state.

[@Mr.C901]

I think Sam set this up perfectly. He knows he not the man as a HC. He don’t have that killer attitude. He knows BP has that, and he knows if he don’t improve with him here, then HE is the issue.

[@mikenaidoff9866]

Pittman made good hire. Go Hogs Go

[@glenngamst61]

This will fix our recruiting problem immediately. I look forward to a real offense in the future. Now let's get a new QB and WRs.

[@SamBlevins-e5f]

Personally I think we can work with criswell. If he can make the kind of progress kj did from year to year he will be ready by fall. I agree wr are very important but that atrocious ol takes precedence above all

[@blakehays886]

Wish I was excited about it but I feel like we have a qb at Greenwood comes around once every 20 years or so and it will be wasted he probably will still come here but the team around him prolly won't be were it needs to be for us to do anything should have never fired him hes just a guy that was led astray what Harbaugh did was way worse than that
