FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Sam Pittman acknowledges what he faces heading into the 2024 season, his fifth as Arkansas football coach. It’s another year like the last, and he likely will no longer carry that title in December.
The Razorbacks are coming off a 4-8 season with a 1-7 record in the Southeastern Conference. It was the team’s fourth season in the last seven in which they won just one SEC game. A big reason Pittman is getting another shot is that he led Arkansas to 9-4 and 7-6 records the previous two years. Those two seasons, combined with the good vibes created shortly after Chad Morris’ two 2-10 seasons, bought some goodwill.
Former head coach Bobby Petrino has returned to Fayetteville. His stint as head coach ended ignominiously in 2011 after a motorcycle wreck and subsequent scandal involving a female staffer. His public-image rehabilitation tour started in 2013 at Western Kentucky and has seen him make stops at Louisville, Missouri State, UNLV, Texas A&M and now back where things went awry, this time as offensive coordinator.
