Arkansas has been really impressive this season. It is amazing what Pittman has done in such a short amount of time. He hired 2 great coordinators. When you put the right people in certain positions and let them do their job good things happen.

Who were Muschamp’s coordinators? Roper and ??? I can’t remember.He is not doing anything Muschamp didnt do the 1st year.

No at best Arkansas will go 4-6 at best.This is sarcasm right Jeff?
4 and 6 is a far cry better than they have been. Pittman has never been a head coach but seems to have surrounded himself with great assistants.No at best Arkansas will go 4-6 at best.
Hmm, so are you implying that a 4-6 record is inadequate ?No at best Arkansas will go 4-6 at best.
It's what he does next year and the year after that count.Y'all are crowning this boy a little too early. Continuity is what it's all about.
People are all buzzing about Arkansas... They are 2-2 with wins over the Missi teams which are both TERRRIBBBLLLEEE. yawn...Arkansas has been really impressive this season.

Why would it be sarcasm? What did he say that was incorrect? Muschamp took over a 3 win team and got us to a bowl year 1. Pittman is taking over a terrible team and has them 2-2. I’d say he is 100% accurate in his assessment. Who knows, they may shock the world and go 8-2, but until they do/ at this point in time, the man has done nothing impressive beyond what Will did year one, OR what he has done THIS YEAR. Until we traveled to LSU last weekend, guess who else was 2-2 with one win being more impressive than either of Pittman’s!?! I guess by the sentiment of this thread, Will is doing a fantastic job of turning around a team that struggled last year? “Making the Gamecocks great again, AGAIN” might be his slogan if he were running for office? 🤔. I will let ya’ll figure that comparison out!This is sarcasm right Jeff?
They were robbed of a win vs. Auburn.People are all buzzing about Arkansas... They are 2-2 with wins over the Missi teams which are both TERRRIBBBLLLEEE. yawn...
There was a mistake at the end, however no one single call/play/mistake wins or loses a game. I am sure if you watched that game they benefited from some good fortune at times as well to even make it close at the end... Regardless when Auburn was trying to stop the clock to make their chip shot field goal at the end to win the game and Arki had to rely on a fumbled snap in that situation to hold on for the win- it is hard for me to say they “deserved the win”- more if it had been ruled a fumble on the spike, those very odd/nearly unheard of circumstances would have gifted the win to Arkansas... So saying they were robbed when it would have taken a unicorn play for then to win... Mehh...They were robbed of a win vs. Auburn.
It is lack luster for sure... “Average” or just below.Hmm, so are you implying that a 4-6 record is inadequate ?
Not around here.Hmm, so are you implying that a 4-6 record is inadequate ?
T-RobWho were Muschamp’s coordinators? Roper and ??? I can’t remember.
Very Good, I was wondering if anyone was going to pick up on that.Not around here.

You can try to justify that under other circumstances, but not this one. If the refs get that call right - and replay as well - Arkansas gets the ball back and Auburn doesn't get to kick the winning FG.There was a mistake at the end, however no one single call/play/mistake wins or loses a game.

Still 7 wins is pretty mediocre... I am mot arguing the guy has not improved the team. They are better... I am arguing that the sentiment people seem to be making that he has revolutionized the game or something is thus far not true. The people who scoffed at Jeff for implying he has done nothing more than Will did year one here are wrong- even by your projections he would likely have an Identical record to WM’s first year here under normal circumstances and Will took over a team that had gotten whipped by the CITADEL the year prior! I see an almost identical correlation here and nobody has yet challenged that notion with anything other than “woulda coulda shoulda” scenarios about LOSSES.They led UGA for most of the game, beat Auburn, and Pittman took over a program that was whipped by Western Kentucky last year. Arkansas was not only on a 20 game SEC losing streak, but had also lost to WKU, North Texas, and Colorado State under Morris.
With a normal schedule this Arkansas team would probably win 7 games and that is remarkable considering how awful Chad Morris was
Some get it but some boneheads on here never will. He's done an amazing job considering what he inherited.They led UGA for most of the game, beat Auburn, and Pittman took over a program that was whipped by Western Kentucky last year.

Exactly 💯. Pittman has done a great job considering the fact that this is his first ever head coaching job.They led UGA for most of the game, beat Auburn, and Pittman took over a program that was whipped by Western Kentucky last year. Arkansas was not only on a 20 game SEC losing streak, but had also lost to WKU, North Texas, and Colorado State under Morris.

You do realize that most people felt the same way about Muschamp after his first 2 seasons?Some get it but some boneheads on here never will. He's done an amazing job considering what he inherited.

So people are making up stuff in this thread about the comparison between the two coaches and what they did in their first year at a new school because... Their feelings are hurt? Got it.7 wins isn't close to what Petrino had built, what Nutt's best teams did, or any of the great Arkansas SWC Championship teams had but it is definitely improvement.
The difference in Muschamp and Pittman is that Muschamp will always be seen by Gamecocks as the guy who failed at Florida and is a Georgia boy at heart. Sam Pittman, like Hatfield and Nutt, grew up and Arkansas fan attending Lou Holtz camps as a kid. Pittman was very popular with Hog fans and the community as Oline Coach under Bielema.
Pittman is a Hog and Muschamp is an outsider. Plus, Muschamp has had 9 years to prove himself as a HC and Pittman is on year 1.
The reason I started this thread was to compliment Pittman on his teams vast improvement. It was not intended to be a comparison to Muschamp.So people are making up stuff in this thread about the comparison between the two coaches and what they did in their first year at a new school because...
