Bama fan here…Sam is one of the few coaches I watch because of how authentic he is. I respect him immensely. I hope he stays and has well deserved success.
We get the interception to start the game and kick a field goal? Don't put any trust in your team? Great for morale. I almost turned the TV off. So what is going to happen to make things better? Sam is a great guy, but in over his head. He looks beat down and confused-spitting out lame excuses. Three losers in a row? Give the next guy 250K and spend the bucks nailing down Muss! We need to stay strong in basketball. Or the SEC will dump us once the super conferences take over football completely.
I commend Sam for his truthfulness and transparency. I pray that he will have another year he deserves the opportunity. He see’s the lack of enthusiasm in the team he is giving his all it takes everyone. ❤WPS
Rebel fan here. Pittman is my favorite SEC coach. Super guy, and I believe Ark would do well to give him another year or two with different coordinators. The man knows football, and his players love him and haven't quit, even under the most dire situations. Ark lost several games by very close margins, including against my Rebels. The Hogs are better than the record reflects. I really hope the guy stays around. I would love to play on a team coached by this man.
@@russellwright5788 Wow, that is one cynical response. I meant my comment from the bottom of my heart. Please give up mind reading. You're terrible at it.
@jakemitchell1671 man I'm not here to please you or anybody else, and I'm not here to win a popularity contest. I don't care what anyone else thinks especially other fan bases
Well . I have been for replacing Pittman but I can't help but root for the guy, in this age of BS and double speak it is nice to hear a guy be so honest and do it in a classy way. I hope he get's it turned around . Really do
My heart hurts for coach and I hope he is here until he wants to retire. The guy love's Arkansas and wants to make us proud and that's more than you can say for previous coaches. Also he's not looking for his next job which is exactly what you will get with a new coach. Love Pitt!!!!
I believe the action of dismissing Enos was needed and maybe this will turn the page and we can win a few games. Sam is still the man and deserves a chance to work it out. We’ve all learned something from this season including the AD. Let’s move on with season.
@@elmerfudpucker5387 you do remember he took over a 2 and 10 back to back with 0 and 16 in the sec right? Then took those exact same guys and won 3 games in the sec. Casual
We are 2-6. This coach was full of "I Don't Knows" in his last post game presser. Glad he finally figured out that Enos was the problem after eight games. A lot of moving parts in a football team. That lengthy a response to an across the board horrible offense just does not represent a good head football coach. Good or bad pressers also just do not correspond with winning or losing football games. I see winning out this season as the only thing that could come close to justifying the word great being used describing this coach. He should be fired for losing as his contract has specifications towards. Not allowed to continue losing or stumbling into the Liberty Bowl which helps extend his contract. Money is wasted on this coach.
@@WarHog38KCS so you disregard the fact that he went out and found a dc that totally changed the defense but made a mistake on the oc and the reason is that when sam was with him before at Arkansas we had one of the best offenses Arkansas has had
@@stevo306 Enos should have been fired after the BYU game. That failure and the following five losses are therefore clearly on Pittman. Pttman has the next four games to show some positivity in his coaching. The offensive line has been a big problem this whole season. Enos did not coach the 0-Line. Why is Kennedy still there? That is on Pittman's coaching prowess resume as well.
@@RazorbackRed His hires on D show he knows what to do off the field. Yes Coach P's in game decisions need some help. That said, Coach P can and wants to win here. Year one doesnt count bc Covid, this year he missed with a bad OC hire. The O has cost us these games, not necessarily Coach's game decisions. The games where Coachs decisions came into play, we were only close enough to win despite the O. With a healthy O we win at least 3 more games this year, despite Coach P's decision making. Coach P deserves a chance to fix the O like he did the D.
Pittman just summed it up with what we need at Arkansas. We must have coaches that can motivate kids to perform above abilities, Sam can get that out of kids much like Houston Nutt was able to do. Arkansas is going to have a hard time out talenting the SEC west at every position, build a wall, pick a few from other hot bed states that are full of talent and we damn sure better have a coaches that can motivate.
Yes we need motivating coaches agreed, BUT how about coaches that either improve a QB'S inconsistencies and accuracy issues after 4 years of the same thing? Nick Saban doesn't allow these inconsistencies and inaccurate passes without repercussions, but good hearted Sam just let's it continue
@@jeffbeliew6568 Have you watched the Alabama QB this year? The dude is terrible unless he has a wide open receiver 20+ yards down field. Thankfully he has really really good receivers to throw to, or saban would have lost another 3 games this year alone, including the Arkansas game.
@@ChadRazorback yes sir and he is improving and is showing signs of being coached, but KJ is regressing. Inconsistent and inaccurate and we have a backup that is accurate
Coach the majority of us fans have been through a litany of coaches, good and bad. I'm willing to stay with you and let you sort this out. Head up, sir!
Very good press conference here from Sam. I encourage everyone to give these guys a chance to sort things out before completely writing them off. The defense is very strong and a fresh perspective on play calling may open a few things up for KJ. Not expecting big offense overnight but anything should be a step in the right direction.
@@russellwright5788 He is a person too.... he is better than what we have seen this year obviously something has changed in him, social media, fans, bashing him is he in his head? There is so much that goes into his career as a qb... you wouldn't be where you are today if someone told you to go take a flying leap.... I'm not ready to give up on KJ but what was the change? Creswell should be brought in also just to see if anything changes...
His defensive hire was golden. Bad hire on OC..we know that. Imagine, if he gets one more crack at it and gets it right. You DON'T want a new coach going into next year with Texas/oklahoma joining. Next year has a chance to be great (scheduling is finally good), i think he can make a solid hire. I mean...at least allow us to look at this from a positive standpoint. If it doesn't work, well, i'm conditioned to losing, so i won't lose any more hair. @@allensaunders449
Coach Pitt said he thought Dan Enos was one of the best play callers in the country. He also said that he thinks Coach Kennedy is one of the best O line coaches in fhe country. Maybe there are some aspects of coaching that he's not good at seeing. And why do we have an O line coach as a HC, yet our O line is our weakness in his 4th year? Dont get me wrong, i love Pitt because he loves us. It's just that the situation begs some questions
Blocking schemes and assignments come from the OC and then it's the position coaches job to teach the players how to those schemes. If the schemes and assignments are bad, then the o-line will be bad. Same goes for every position group on the offensive side of the ball. There's a reason the offense ran like a race car the past 2 years, and this year its a wreck. I don't think the reason is that the coaches who were there those 2 years forgot how to coach this year.
Lets goooo Coach P!!! With the incredible Defensive hires Coach made, this excites me. Obviously, Coach P can make good hires. This move shows that he is looking to do the same thing on Offense. I hope Coach P makes some banger hires on Offense and gets to rub it in all of our faces.
Man I like Sam! Like I commented on an MSN article you don't want to fire your HC - you lose players, you lose recruits, you end up hiring a coach who's no better, and it takes you a couple years just to get back to where you started. Come on Hogs, let's win 2-3 more and hold it together for a great 2024! WPS
Im not completely completely off the "Fire Pittman" Bandwagon. But this was his best press conference ive seen. Also, Florida wont know what to Prepare for since they wont know if we are running The Offense from Last Year or Enos' Offense or even a mixture of both. Which if you know football, works in our Favor. WOOO PIG
Enos had to be sacrificed! Sam saved his own rear end. Yet, he's the head coach who hired Enos ruining this year. But, ole Sam speaks Arkie language and his karma will win the next 4 games as we return to Briles offense allowing KJ Jefferson to finally be great again! We go to bowl and Sam is hero again. I am sorry, but I strongly believe Arkansas can compete for a National Championship especially with expansion of 12 teams! Tired of mediocre fans who settle for plain bowl records winning 6 games. Then, 3 of those generally are "give me" wins. Arkansas can win and win big consistently! You can love a Coach at the expense of players. Folks, this is about the players not the love of any Coach....It’s the players ❤❤❤
At least they got an off week to try and readjust. We all like Pittman in Arkansas, and hope he can somehow pull it out of his hat. if not, don’t tell me they’re looking at Gus Malzon again …..
I have been a Pittman fan for a long time and was ecstatic that he got the head coaching job. I believe he can turn this thing around and hope for many more years of hog ball. WPS!
Because he thought his assistants would work with him getting it fixed. Pittman didn’t “wait” for anything. If you look at Enos’ record, it’s a good one. But he couldn’t get it done this year.
Also the offense doesnt have to be fancy. but if you run a pro style offense you do HAVE TO HAVE an audible package. and KJ needs to be educated on defenses and how to read blitzes and direct his offensive line. He is the leader.
Enos play I remember the most when he was here prior was the naked bootleg with Allen and Henry coming across field.. that was so surprising not seeing the pocket get moved to help kj
I feel like we are going to be much better. We have a young passionate coach now. He is inexperienced BUT he knows the game. If his passion can rub off on his players and he can teach them some determination and execution. then we will be GREAT!
Play Creswell some, see if he can move the ball, for some forward progress. I'm not saying take K.J. out completely but his head space isn't good right now. Mine wouldn't be either at this point to be honest. Combo team it just to try something different.
KJ came into this season talking about proving he is the best and trying to increase his draft stock. He wasn't focused on the season in front of him and it shows. I bet the scouts took note of every bad pass, every time he would only stare down his intended target, his lack of changing plays on the fly, his want to run first, his holding the ball way to long, and much much more
Enos may have worked hard but his energy was wasted as it was clearly spent in the wrong direction which is on him. I say his heart was not in it but when you can get $1.1 million for 3 years guaranteed, you take it.
at 25:30 he said it!!! we need to simplify it. Those blocking assignments dan was putting on that Oline was insanely difficult. I watched a High school football team win a State Championship and they only ran 3 plays. They tackled well, they didnt get penalized. The plays that they did run were to PERFECTION! they hustled they made their blocks. They got 3-4 yards a carry on average and COULD NOT BE STOPPED! because they ran those plays SO well that they Went for it every time on 4th and short. And they only got better as the game went on. And the offense ran out so much clock that the defense was always fresh. And they opponents offense could never get into a rhythym. You dont have to do do alot! If you just Tackle, dont get penalized, Execute the plays that you do run, take care of the football, I GARUNTEE YOU, THAT IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL you can win 10 games a year on that ALONE! Any thing over 10 is won off other intangible things.
Sam didn't improve the defense. He's an offense guy. The Defensive Coordinator fixed the defense. Sam gets credit for identifying and hiring him, though, just as he gets a black mark for hiring Enos.
I don't have your faith in the HC. I'm sure there will be improvement. Couldn't be any worse. The HC is responsible for everything including who plays and who he hires
Dude i was so pissed at Pittman i felt like i couldnt get behind him anymore. But everytime i hear him speak i cant help but forgive him. Simply because hes just so god damn honest. And personally i Respect that. I think he needs to be harder on his players. He just made a bad hire. simple as that.
100% the hogs beat the Gators you will see a hungry team fighting for coach Pit. If the players dont respond with fire than we will know Pit lost the team (
I'm sure that it's an absolute and complete coincidence that, during the very game that Pittman had designated as a "must win," the offensive players, whom Enos was making look incompetent and ruining their futures, played especially poorly, including K.J. Jefferson who, although uninjured and known for accuracy, played the worst game of his life by short-hopping multiple passes, holding the ball, etc.
Kj known for accuracy?? Since when? that dude is as inconsistent as the weather. For every pass that is caught there are ten thrown right at our Wr feet or 10 feet over there head. KJ sucks the worst qb in the sec and it’s not even close. Everyone knows Criswell is better but scared to bench KJ. Benching Kj would definitely give us a chance to win. Kj ain’t got the iq to be qb can’t read a defense to save his life. Arkansas is the only team that wanted him as a qb. He needs to be a tight end.
Honestly... he knows by his own standards this is not acceptable and if knows if he was being held to his own standard he should be fine to quote him "we just lost our spirit" later coach
I hope the people in the front offices like the AD see that the people of Arkansas love Sam Pittman and want to at least give him another year. Hire a well known AD. And lets see what the next QB has in store next year.
Speak for yourself. That is not true about the people of Arkansas. Hope Yurachekis smarter than that. The majority of this fan base will not support a losing coach. This team is 2-6, probably to worsen. Nobody loves a loser making that kind of money. lol
At 63 years old, it makes me want to throw up realizing that we are on par with Ms. State. We have everything needed to be competitive, but rarely are.
6ft 4 and up receivers and we aren't giving them a chance to use that height. This sounds like more runs, sadly. The issues to me are the running and passing has been predictable.btheres zero downfield threat and not because kj can't throw vertical. 900 of his yards are complete in-between the hash marks.. let's just go run 1st and 2nd and hope we get to a 3rd and 5 or less. This hasn't worked all year..
Have to block long enough for the receivers to get down field and if you throw high to take advantage of height and they miss your just begging for the safety to intercept the ball. I'm not saying you have the wrong take just that it's easier said than done. They may have tried this already but you wouldn't have known since it would likely end up in a sack
@tyhumphreys9149 that falls in the hands of being predictable on play script. If you're going to run on 1st and 2nd then get into 3rd and 7 plus the defense is bringing the housem 1st down shots to keep them off balance would have the safeties backpedaling vs first step towards the line.. 90% of arkansas on 1st is a 2 to 3 yard run.
@tyhumphreys9149 move the pocket, help kj. I dont think it's a line issue at all. Kj isn't a traditional pocket passer gotta help him out. Where has the naked boot that done so well for Brandon Allen nd hunter henry..
Colorado has statically one of the worst offensive lines yet a qb who is leading in ypg.. they have zero run game just like us. The difference is sanders is giving his wr a chance.. I think the nature of briles offense and why it worked well for us was because it spread the field and you never knew what was coming.. but when we lost what would Sam say?.. we gotta run the ball more..
@@boudreauxthetrucker6694 well now that I can absolutely agree with. Have to make adjustments and move the pocket etc. Especially with the rest of the season I want to see what changes. Now moving forward who would you pick for OC moving forward?
What is with you people that keep saying he deserves to come back,he deserves another year, why. This program deserves to win and I don't see coming from him
Look at the dramatic change he made with the Defensive hires. Coach P has shown the ability to make good hires. He missed with Anus and Kennedy, but he is rectifying that. In my mind, Coach T Will and Coach Woodson have earned Coach P another year. It should not be understated just how amazing the D improvement has been.
Because most people see Sam winning here... There's always gonna be bumps in the road, just gotta fix it. Enos didn't call plays to KJ's strengths. KJ is NOT a 28 plays a game, drop back pocket passer... Sam saw the problem, and he will fix it !
This isn't a "bump in the road", 🤡. Your wife probably cheats on you daily..and then you tell her it's your fault and that it's just a "bump in the road"
I am a Crimson Tide fan.... To all Arkansas fans, keep your coach.... When coach Saban retires, Sam Pittman should be considered..... He really is a great coach......
Arkansas keep Pittman you have a coach that CARES how many coaches truly care anymore…. I can feel the pain in Pittman voice, of letting his players and the fan base down.
I don’t understand how we can cut back ion “volume “ as far as plays when we only run the same handful of plays every single game…to the point where it’s predictable of exactly what we’ll run on every down…
From what I’ve seen in press conferences, Pittman has been pushing for a change. Seems to me like Enos refused to listen to his boss and was shown the door.
Ask any Maryland fan, they are SO happy Enos left. Their offense is much more productive this year than last year. Enos, another NICE guy, didn't fit with KJ and our offense personnel. KB's offense fit much better with the personnel.
If the offense had showed any kind of life this season where would this team be with this Defense? Certainly not 2-6. Go out and find you an OC and we are there. A HC has to be able to make knee jerk decisions sometimes.....like rest a qb for a series or 2 if hes playing bad........its what leaders do. Saban benched a Super Bowl starter to get a fresh look against Georgia...and it only took him a half to do it. Lets get to work and play to win these last 4 games....and if you practice it and are not doing it you get on that headset and tell your OC TO DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!................WPS!🐗🐗🐗
There has to be a better kind of passing game. Quick hitters and things to stretch the field while not having to do traditional pocket passes. Gotta run receivers at different depths and get some kinda separation. Can't just send everyone 8 yards and turn around. Just asking KJ to throw into a lot of LBs and DBs right now.
Sam has the best group of young men in his 4 year tenure. A lion’s share of his won-loss this year has to fall on Sam. Sincere? Yes. Ability to win in the SEC? No.
Crazy isn't it? Sam has been saying we need to move the pocket for 3 games and enos done that as few times as possible since he's been saying it.. makes it sound like he was undermining the direction Pittman wanted to take the offense
The best plays I've seen Arkansas execute is the hype train they run on some of these coaches. Talk about knowing your audience...My prediction for 2025, they'll hype the next guy this much-everybody will buy in and then he'll give us a 2-10 season.
Coordinator sets the scheme, position coach teaches how to run the designed play. Pitt is in the room and has been calling for a change in scheme. He’s said for weeks we need to move the pocket. Enos refused to listen and Kennedy can’t teach the players how to block if the scheme isn’t designed for their success. Ultimately, Enos failed to make adjustments during games or during the season and he was shown the door.
Its Not that. Pittman teaches technique of course. BUT ENOS Draws up the blocking assignments and schemes. And if you go watch a professional break down film on how rediculously difficult those blocking assignments were. You will understand. Its almost as iff all the assignments were Either Homerun or Miss by a mile as far as the success of the play. It needs to be simplified. IT NEEDED TO BE. ITS not ALL on the offensive LINE "PLAYERS" or the Oline coach. Those kids were set up for failure simply off the design of those plays. Also you dont have to have 100 plays. You can have 20-30 on college football and use motions or allignment that just make them appear different. Also especially in a pro style offense. You have to Have a respectable RUN GAME. because in order for a Pro Style offense you have to be able to set up PLAY ACTION. To top it all off Me personally, i dont believe KJ is a pro style qb. Maybe "hopefully" im wrong. But i think we should move on from KJ and keep him from getting hurt so that maybe he can get a job in the NFL. Nothing against KJ He is a great player. just for the future of the PROGRAM and the way this season is going i think its time we start repping the next man up
Pittman says he could see his team was not motivated taking the field on homecoming day. Why didn't Pittman assemble his team on the sideline and correct that motivation issue? Pittman surely should have motivated his team at half time. I guess Pittman is depending on the new OC to motivate his team when he apparently cannot. Judging by the receivers that this OC previously coached. No reason to be hopeful for the remainder of this season.
say what you will about Enos, why is Kennedy still part of the program? The guy has been here for years and this season is the result of his efforts on the O line over that time period. We shouldn't keep people just because we like them. No excuse for him not being fired alongside Enos
Guiton has never been an offensive coordinator, so we didn't have a replacement in waiting there either. It's not like the Oline is going to be immensely worse without him, they are already at the bottom
better make time for some phone calls if you want to win games. make time. don't have time for that? how can you win a game of chess if you're not thinking about the future in the present?
The Six Million Dollar man. Why? I'd be calling for this guy's immediate firing if I had the misfortune to be a Razorback fan. You can fire the underlings for only so long. Does anyone really believe this Pitt guy will really survive the season? There might be a reason why he was almost 60 years old before he got a HC gig. Nothing wrong w guys in their 60s/70s (St. Nick) but I am just taking a look at Pitt's resume in particular. He neither sounds nor acts like a winner. Something is very wrong here. I will however give him credit for looking at the situation honestly unlike the SC joker.
Arkansas needs a fire and brimstone coach. They need a Mark Mangino. A coach that will rip these players. Arkansas doesn't have the talent as these other sec schools. That's why they need a coach that'll get in the players faces and motivate them. I feel like I'm in church listening to Pittman. Get Mangino.
I admire what Sam Pittman did. it had to be done. He is taking initiative. I have an idea for the offense. Why doesn't he let KJ call the plays? I am sure being in Kendal Briles offense for three years, he knows a lot of the plays inside and out, as well as a lot of the players. Let KJ call plays that he is comfortable doing and see if that works out.
So you would put your $6 million a year career on the whims of some guy who sits on the bench and eats Skittles during the game? That's not even counting the whole football program worth multi-millions of dollars.
Just hate that we wasted really good talent this year and some that we quite honestly won’t see back next year some because they were seniors but some bc of transfer etc
It's not reasonable to expect any successful offensive line coach we would want to hire to leave his current team during the season. Kennedy may be gone at the end of the season, though--or he may not. We'll see.
@perniciouspete4986 Sam could take over the o-line. We're not trying to hire new coaches at all right now. That's why we're not replacing Enos right now.
You know.. for as bad of a hire as he made on offense he made one hell of a hire on defense! He hasn't been a head coach long and it's definitely showing this year.. but if he can find a good o.c. things could be great as long as defense continues to play like this!
Sam Pittman is a ghost man. Probably too good for a place like Arkansas where fans are win at any cost. They prefer someone of low integrity like Petrino or a win at all cost like Musselman.
Lack of motivation and spirit starts at the top and flows down. Football, being a team sport, involves other players. Give them a chance. Heck, is the SEC to tough? Lackluster performance for far too long. We should be having winning seasons every year. I still have pTSD from Oral Roberts!
Basketball is starting, I'm so done with this same stuff with the football team year in year out! Maybe pay someone that knows how to coach instead of paying them not to coach! I called that play Chuck!
Stay the course. Don't bolt until it is PROVEN that he can't turn the ship around. But Arkansas has to go out and pay for top flight Assistants, with proven recruiting credentials, and try to take fewer leftovers from other teams. Those who didn't original come to Arkansas, is suspect as to their commitment, instead of getting through college, which is admirable, but the Football is also a contact when you transfer.
1st year was Covid, and this year he missed with a bad Offensive hire. Coach P has had a burner year with Covid, and a bad OC hire one year. Aside from that he is a winning coach. He has made amazing adjustments with the D hires, Coach P can do it with the O too.
@@Steven-mk4gg A lot of different pieces in putting together a good football team. OL & DL, RB's & good receivers, DB's and a good QB. Plus Kickers & Special teams. A poor element in any team with be exploited by the opponent or prohibit winning. Pittman took eight games to make any adjustment on a horrible offense across the board. That type of response to team flaws is just not ever going to cut it.
Bama fan here…Sam is one of the few coaches I watch because of how authentic he is. I respect him immensely. I hope he stays and has well deserved success.

The O has cost us these games, not necessarily Coach's game decisions.

Pittman just summed it up with what we need at Arkansas. We must have coaches that can motivate kids to perform above abilities, Sam can get that out of kids much like Houston Nutt was able to do. Arkansas is going to have a hard time out talenting the SEC west at every position, build a wall, pick a few from other hot bed states that are full of talent and we damn sure better have a coaches that can motivate.
Yes we need motivating coaches agreed, BUT how about coaches that either improve a QB'S inconsistencies and accuracy issues after 4 years of the same thing? Nick Saban doesn't allow these inconsistencies and inaccurate passes without repercussions, but good hearted Sam just let's it continue
@@jeffbeliew6568 Have you watched the Alabama QB this year? The dude is terrible unless he has a wide open receiver 20+ yards down field. Thankfully he has really really good receivers to throw to, or saban would have lost another 3 games this year alone, including the Arkansas game.
Your not seriously comparing Sam Pittman to Houston Nutt. Houston was a great motivator when he first got to arkansas, Pittman couldn't motivate squat
@@ChadRazorback yes sir and he is improving and is showing signs of being coached, but KJ is regressing. Inconsistent and inaccurate and we have a backup that is accurate
Maybe a better HC is what's needed
Coach the majority of us fans have been through a litany of coaches, good and bad. I'm willing to stay with you and let you sort this out. Head up, sir!
Keep at it coach. Drastic times cause for drastic measures. Hate it for Dan but we all knew it wasn't working.
Very good press conference here from Sam. I encourage everyone to give these guys a chance to sort things out before completely writing them off. The defense is very strong and a fresh perspective on play calling may open a few things up for KJ. Not expecting big offense overnight but anything should be a step in the right direction.
KJ is frustrated to say the least.
Kj can go take a flying leap,I'm tired of him ,Pittman, sandersand anybody else that doesn't do what it takes to win,
@@russellwright5788 He is a person too.... he is better than what we have seen this year obviously something has changed in him, social media, fans, bashing him is he in his head? There is so much that goes into his career as a qb... you wouldn't be where you are today if someone told you to go take a flying leap.... I'm not ready to give up on KJ but what was the change? Creswell should be brought in also just to see if anything changes...

Wow, youre just a whole box of aint you.
Lets finish this season up, Pittman lets go another year and rock the world of college football. WPS
Why will he rock the football world next season in all honesty hasn't shown that ability yet
Sorry bub. It ain’t happening.
Not happening with Pittman. Mediocrity or being outright terrible are the future options with Pittman.
His defensive hire was golden. Bad hire on OC..we know that. Imagine, if he gets one more crack at it and gets it right. You DON'T want a new coach going into next year with Texas/oklahoma joining. Next year has a chance to be great (scheduling is finally good), i think he can make a solid hire. I mean...at least allow us to look at this from a positive standpoint. If it doesn't work, well, i'm conditioned to losing, so i won't lose any more hair. @@allensaunders449
Coach Pitt said he thought Dan Enos was one of the best play callers in the country. He also said that he thinks Coach Kennedy is one of the best O line coaches in fhe country. Maybe there are some aspects of coaching that he's not good at seeing.
And why do we have an O line coach as a HC, yet our O line is our weakness in his 4th year?
Dont get me wrong, i love Pitt because he loves us. It's just that the situation begs some questions
Oh don't tell that to the Pittman worshipers, they think he's the greatest coach since bear bryant
Blocking schemes and assignments come from the OC and then it's the position coaches job to teach the players how to those schemes. If the schemes and assignments are bad, then the o-line will be bad. Same goes for every position group on the offensive side of the ball.
There's a reason the offense ran like a race car the past 2 years, and this year its a wreck. I don't think the reason is that the coaches who were there those 2 years forgot how to coach this year.
Probably the most honest Coach has been all season. Maybe that'll light a fire. This season isn't over.
Praying for Coach, the staff, and the team.
I'd love a video from Trey really going in depth on what he thinks about all of this and how things can change!
Lets goooo Coach P!!!
With the incredible Defensive hires Coach made, this excites me.
Obviously, Coach P can make good hires. This move shows that he is looking to do the same thing on Offense.
I hope Coach P makes some banger hires on Offense and gets to rub it in all of our faces.
did you forget to take your medication today?
I hope but am not going to get back on the football wagon until someone fixes it, of course I like Pittman.
Man I like Sam! Like I commented on an MSN article you don't want to fire your HC - you lose players, you lose recruits, you end up hiring a coach who's no better, and it takes you a couple years just to get back to where you started. Come on Hogs, let's win 2-3 more and hold it together for a great 2024! WPS
And somehow I've convinced myself we're actually going to beat Florida... WPS
I hear u lol.
He's a damn good coach & he will fix it!
Im not completely completely off the "Fire Pittman" Bandwagon. But this was his best press conference ive seen. Also, Florida wont know what to Prepare for since they wont know if we are running The Offense from Last Year or Enos' Offense or even a mixture of both. Which if you know football, works in our Favor. WOOO PIG
“Things of that nature “ is starting to be one of the most hated phrases known to man
Enos had to be sacrificed!
Sam saved his own rear end. Yet, he's the head coach who hired Enos ruining this year.
But, ole Sam speaks Arkie language and his karma will win the next 4 games as we return to Briles offense allowing KJ Jefferson to finally be great again! We go to bowl and Sam is hero again.
I am sorry, but I strongly believe Arkansas can compete for a National Championship especially with expansion of 12 teams!
Tired of mediocre fans who settle for plain bowl records winning 6 games. Then, 3 of those generally are "give me" wins.
Arkansas can win and win big consistently!
You can love a Coach at the expense of players. Folks, this is about the players not the love of any Coach....It’s the players ❤❤❤
At least they got an off week to try and readjust. We all like Pittman in Arkansas, and hope he can somehow pull it out of his hat. if not, don’t tell me they’re looking at Gus Malzon again …..
I have been a Pittman fan for a long time and was ecstatic that he got the head coaching job. I believe he can turn this thing around and hope for many more years of hog ball. WPS!
You should have gotten involved more after the Kent state game, you have the knowledge why did it take this long to get ur hands dirty?
Because he thought his assistants would work with him getting it fixed. Pittman didn’t “wait” for anything. If you look at Enos’ record, it’s a good one. But he couldn’t get it done this year.
@@Razorusskie Enos couldn't get it done at Miami, either, as OC and QB coach and got FIRED. That was a red flag.
@@perniciouspete4986 Everyone in the coaching world gets fired. That isn't the red flag you think it is.
@@ChadRazorback In this instance, it was. You see the results when it wasn't heeded.
Also the offense doesnt have to be fancy. but if you run a pro style offense you do HAVE TO HAVE an audible package. and KJ needs to be educated on defenses and how to read blitzes and direct his offensive line. He is the leader.
Enos play I remember the most when he was here prior was the naked bootleg with Allen and Henry coming across field.. that was so surprising not seeing the pocket get moved to help kj
I feel like we are going to be much better. We have a young passionate coach now. He is inexperienced BUT he knows the game. If his passion can rub off on his players and he can teach them some determination and execution. then we will be GREAT!
Coach brags on himself "This is a positive about ME..." on players loving him!
OMG! This ain't about you Coach! Please stop😢😢
Play Creswell some, see if he can move the ball, for some forward progress. I'm not saying take K.J. out completely but his head space isn't good right now. Mine wouldn't be either at this point to be honest. Combo team it just to try something different.
1000% agreed. If you're not mentally there, it's a recipe to fail even if your physical body is capable
Is Criswell better than Jefferson with PTSD? That's the question.
KJ came into this season talking about proving he is the best and trying to increase his draft stock. He wasn't focused on the season in front of him and it shows. I bet the scouts took note of every bad pass, every time he would only stare down his intended target, his lack of changing plays on the fly, his want to run first, his holding the ball way to long, and much much more
@@noyou9379well there's that
@@perniciouspete4986 you don't know until u play him...
This should have never happened smh. Sam found out the hard way & history repeated itself with enos. Let’s see what happens here on out💯
Enos may have worked hard but his energy was wasted as it was clearly spent in the wrong direction which is on him. I say his heart was not in it but when you can get $1.1 million for 3 years guaranteed, you take it.
Since Enos was working in the wrong direction, it makes me wonder: if he hadn't worked so hard, would he have done a better job?
Would be a terrible mistake to get rid of Sam.
Volume? Kinda seemed like the same plays being ran
at 25:30 he said it!!! we need to simplify it. Those blocking assignments dan was putting on that Oline was insanely difficult. I watched a High school football team win a State Championship and they only ran 3 plays. They tackled well, they didnt get penalized. The plays that they did run were to PERFECTION! they hustled they made their blocks. They got 3-4 yards a carry on average and COULD NOT BE STOPPED! because they ran those plays SO well that they Went for it every time on 4th and short. And they only got better as the game went on. And the offense ran out so much clock that the defense was always fresh. And they opponents offense could never get into a rhythym. You dont have to do do alot! If you just Tackle, dont get penalized, Execute the plays that you do run, take care of the football, I GARUNTEE YOU, THAT IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL you can win 10 games a year on that ALONE! Any thing over 10 is won off other intangible things.
I still think Sam will get the offense fixed... Hell, look at our defense. They were pathedic last year...
Sam didn't improve the defense. He's an offense guy. The Defensive Coordinator fixed the defense. Sam gets credit for identifying and hiring him, though, just as he gets a black mark for hiring Enos.
I don't have your faith in the HC. I'm sure there will be improvement. Couldn't be any worse. The HC is responsible for everything including who plays and who he hires
Dude i was so pissed at Pittman i felt like i couldnt get behind him anymore. But everytime i hear him speak i cant help but forgive him. Simply because hes just so god damn honest. And personally i Respect that. I think he needs to be harder on his players. He just made a bad hire. simple as that.
Pittman will get one more year. I actually liked the things he had to say. Arkansas is behind you brother! Let's get it!!! WOOO PIG SOOOIE!!!
100% the hogs beat the Gators
you will see a hungry team fighting for coach Pit. If the players dont respond with fire than we will know Pit lost the team (
Not gonna happen! Hogs will win one more game this year.
I'm sure that it's an absolute and complete coincidence that, during the very game that Pittman had designated as a "must win," the offensive players, whom Enos was making look incompetent and ruining their futures, played especially poorly, including K.J. Jefferson who, although uninjured and known for accuracy, played the worst game of his life by short-hopping multiple passes, holding the ball, etc.
If you ask me, you’ve used entirely too many commas here lol
Are you saying the players decided to lose the game on purpose to get Enos fired?
@@SavageElites Commas are your friends.
@@perniciouspete4986 not when they cause your information to become choppy.
Kj known for accuracy?? Since when? that dude is as inconsistent as the weather. For every pass that is caught there are ten thrown right at our Wr feet or 10 feet over there head. KJ sucks the worst qb in the sec and it’s not even close. Everyone knows Criswell is better but scared to bench KJ. Benching Kj would definitely give us a chance to win. Kj ain’t got the iq to be qb can’t read a defense to save his life. Arkansas is the only team that wanted him as a qb. He needs to be a tight end.
Honestly... he knows by his own standards this is not acceptable and if knows if he was being held to his own standard he should be fine to quote him "we just lost our spirit" later coach
I recommend Arkansas look at Rhett Lashlee from SMU for OC or coach. He’s hometown guy that has had a lot of success coaching and learning under Gus
I've heard what I want to hear. We've got a great coach.
Sam, YOU have got to recruit, especially the offensive line.
Yeah ,hope he will recruit some guys. He's known as a great recruiter...Just living under a black cloud this year , that's all
I hope the people in the front offices like the AD see that the people of Arkansas love Sam Pittman and want to at least give him another year. Hire a well known AD. And lets see what the next QB has in store next year.
I don’t think kj will leave (unless he transfers) he’d wind up in the xfl or something. He can make more at Arkansas another year than that
Speak for yourself. That is not true about the people of Arkansas. Hope Yurachekis smarter than that. The majority of this fan base will not support a losing coach. This team is 2-6, probably to worsen. Nobody loves a loser making that kind of money. lol
Great man and great coach. Hope gets a chance to right the ship. He really loves Arkansas and wants success for the program. Go Hogs
At 63 years old, it makes me want to throw up realizing that we are on par with Ms. State. We have everything needed to be competitive, but rarely are.
6ft 4 and up receivers and we aren't giving them a chance to use that height. This sounds like more runs, sadly. The issues to me are the running and passing has been predictable.btheres zero downfield threat and not because kj can't throw vertical. 900 of his yards are complete in-between the hash marks.. let's just go run 1st and 2nd and hope we get to a 3rd and 5 or less. This hasn't worked all year..
Have to block long enough for the receivers to get down field and if you throw high to take advantage of height and they miss your just begging for the safety to intercept the ball. I'm not saying you have the wrong take just that it's easier said than done. They may have tried this already but you wouldn't have known since it would likely end up in a sack
@tyhumphreys9149 that falls in the hands of being predictable on play script. If you're going to run on 1st and 2nd then get into 3rd and 7 plus the defense is bringing the housem 1st down shots to keep them off balance would have the safeties backpedaling vs first step towards the line.. 90% of arkansas on 1st is a 2 to 3 yard run.
@tyhumphreys9149 move the pocket, help kj. I dont think it's a line issue at all. Kj isn't a traditional pocket passer gotta help him out. Where has the naked boot that done so well for Brandon Allen nd hunter henry..
Colorado has statically one of the worst offensive lines yet a qb who is leading in ypg.. they have zero run game just like us. The difference is sanders is giving his wr a chance.. I think the nature of briles offense and why it worked well for us was because it spread the field and you never knew what was coming.. but when we lost what would Sam say?.. we gotta run the ball more..
@@boudreauxthetrucker6694 well now that I can absolutely agree with. Have to make adjustments and move the pocket etc. Especially with the rest of the season I want to see what changes. Now moving forward who would you pick for OC moving forward?
What is with you people that keep saying he deserves to come back,he deserves another year, why. This program deserves to win and I don't see coming from him
Look at the dramatic change he made with the Defensive hires.
Coach P has shown the ability to make good hires.
He missed with Anus and Kennedy, but he is rectifying that.
In my mind, Coach T Will and Coach Woodson have earned Coach P another year.
It should not be understated just how amazing the D improvement has been.
Because most people see Sam winning here... There's always gonna be bumps in the road, just gotta fix it. Enos didn't call plays to KJ's strengths. KJ is NOT a 28 plays a game, drop back pocket passer... Sam saw the problem, and he will fix it !
This isn't a "bump in the road", 🤡.
Your wife probably cheats on you daily..and then you tell her it's your fault and that it's just a "bump in the road"
@@charlesa9473 do you actually watch the ball games

yeah keep him that way Alabama can keep that win streak against the piggies lol
@@RockFan-nx8oq No, that's not it.... He looks like he is from Arkansas and could use the money:)
Arkansas keep Pittman you have a coach that CARES how many coaches truly care anymore…. I can feel the pain in Pittman voice, of letting his players and the fan base down.
Kj needs to sit the bench and play criswell
What about the times that the offense scored 30+ and still a loss?
Great press conference coach Pittman
To be perfectly honest with you, Sam has omitted he does not know what he’s doing or something of that nature
Lol definitely something of that nature with Pittman admitting "I didn't know what to do".
I don’t understand how we can cut back ion “volume “ as far as plays when we only run the same handful of plays every single game…to the point where it’s predictable of exactly what we’ll run on every down…
So the diet coca cola is facing backwards
That's the "volume" coach mentioned, 😂
I’m confused: if it’s a matter of moving the pocket, changing protections, reducing KJ’s reads, then wth didn’t Enos do that?
From what I’ve seen in press conferences, Pittman has been pushing for a change. Seems to me like Enos refused to listen to his boss and was shown the door.
@@jacobray9946 : Then that’s Sam’s fault.
Had to be done but unless we win a couple games down the stretch Sam might not survive
God bless Sam Pittman~ He represents us well. Give him another chance to fix things!
Bench KJ , and prepare for next season. Or we will become the new Vanderbilt of sec football
Ask any Maryland fan, they are SO happy Enos left. Their offense is much more productive this year than last year. Enos, another NICE guy, didn't fit with KJ and our offense personnel. KB's offense fit much better with the personnel.
Briles could get the Razorbacks up and down the field, but he couldn't get them across the goal line. That's why everyone knows Cam Little's name.
If the offense had showed any kind of life this season where would this team be with this Defense? Certainly not 2-6. Go out and find you an OC and we are there. A HC has to be able to make knee jerk decisions sometimes.....like rest a qb for a series or 2 if hes playing bad........its what leaders do. Saban benched a Super Bowl starter to get a fresh look against Georgia...and it only took him a half to do it. Lets get to work and play to win these last 4 games....and if you practice it and are not doing it you get on that headset and tell your OC TO DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!................WPS!🐗🐗🐗
There has to be a better kind of passing game. Quick hitters and things to stretch the field while not having to do traditional pocket passes. Gotta run receivers at different depths and get some kinda separation. Can't just send everyone 8 yards and turn around. Just asking KJ to throw into a lot of LBs and DBs right now.
WHY? wait this long! season is done! as i say always next year!
Sam has the best group of young men in his 4 year tenure. A lion’s share of his won-loss this year has to fall on Sam. Sincere? Yes. Ability to win in the SEC? No.
Implement a fullback or blocking back. We aren't good enough to go with just the Oline.
Damn, 29 drop back passes when we're only down by 4 is insanity... With this line?!
Crazy isn't it? Sam has been saying we need to move the pocket for 3 games and enos done that as few times as possible since he's been saying it.. makes it sound like he was undermining the direction Pittman wanted to take the offense
Enos was dead set on running the offense the way he wanted and didn't give a damn what anybody said or did including Pittman.
It can happen. 😇
Stay the Course and make adjustments. Isn't that what we expect of the players.
I'm WITH Pittman. He wants to win I'm gonna be fine , I think he cares more than people want.
The best plays I've seen Arkansas execute is the hype train they run on some of these coaches. Talk about knowing your audience...My prediction for 2025, they'll hype the next guy this much-everybody will buy in and then he'll give us a 2-10 season.
How can an offensive coordinator run an offense when the line cannot block? And how did that get to be Dan Enos fault instead the line coach?
Coordinator sets the scheme, position coach teaches how to run the designed play. Pitt is in the room and has been calling for a change in scheme. He’s said for weeks we need to move the pocket. Enos refused to listen and Kennedy can’t teach the players how to block if the scheme isn’t designed for their success.
Ultimately, Enos failed to make adjustments during games or during the season and he was shown the door.
Its Not that. Pittman teaches technique of course. BUT ENOS Draws up the blocking assignments and schemes. And if you go watch a professional break down film on how rediculously difficult those blocking assignments were. You will understand. Its almost as iff all the assignments were Either Homerun or Miss by a mile as far as the success of the play. It needs to be simplified. IT NEEDED TO BE. ITS not ALL on the offensive LINE "PLAYERS" or the Oline coach. Those kids were set up for failure simply off the design of those plays. Also you dont have to have 100 plays. You can have 20-30 on college football and use motions or allignment that just make them appear different. Also especially in a pro style offense. You have to Have a respectable RUN GAME. because in order for a Pro Style offense you have to be able to set up PLAY ACTION. To top it all off Me personally, i dont believe KJ is a pro style qb. Maybe "hopefully" im wrong. But i think we should move on from KJ and keep him from getting hurt so that maybe he can get a job in the NFL. Nothing against KJ He is a great player. just for the future of the PROGRAM and the way this season is going i think its time we start repping the next man up
Even when KJ has a clean pocket he can't make a accurate throw. KJ is not all that.
Pittman says he could see his team was not motivated taking the field on homecoming day. Why didn't Pittman assemble his team on the sideline and correct that motivation issue? Pittman surely should have motivated his team at half time. I guess Pittman is depending on the new OC to motivate his team when he apparently cannot. Judging by the receivers that this OC previously coached. No reason to be hopeful for the remainder of this season.
Terrabull
say what you will about Enos, why is Kennedy still part of the program? The guy has been here for years and this season is the result of his efforts on the O line over that time period. We shouldn't keep people just because we like them. No excuse for him not being fired alongside Enos
Guiton has never been an offensive coordinator, so we didn't have a replacement in waiting there either. It's not like the Oline is going to be immensely worse without him, they are already at the bottom
"the plays are good the protection is not" exactly
Our OC/QB coach is a WR coach, and we couldn't find anyone to help on the line? Didn't Kennedy move over from TE?
better make time for some phone calls if you want to win games. make time. don't have time for that? how can you win a game of chess if you're not thinking about the future in the present?
rolling the pocket only gives you half the field to work with and KJ isn't fast enough to get the edge in the SEC.
The Six Million Dollar man. Why? I'd be calling for this guy's immediate firing if I had the misfortune to be a Razorback fan. You can fire the underlings for only so long. Does anyone really believe this Pitt guy will really survive the season? There might be a reason why he was almost 60 years old before he got a HC gig. Nothing wrong w guys in their 60s/70s (St. Nick) but I am just taking a look at Pitt's resume in particular. He neither sounds nor acts like a winner. Something is very wrong here. I will however give him credit for looking at the situation honestly unlike the SC joker.
Arkansas needs a fire and brimstone coach. They need a Mark Mangino. A coach that will rip these players. Arkansas doesn't have the talent as these other sec schools. That's why they need a coach that'll get in the players faces and motivate them. I feel like I'm in church listening to Pittman. Get Mangino.
I admire what Sam Pittman did. it had to be done. He is taking initiative. I have an idea for the offense. Why doesn't he let KJ call the plays? I am sure being in Kendal Briles offense for three years, he knows a lot of the plays inside and out, as well as a lot of the players. Let KJ call plays that he is comfortable doing and see if that works out.
Desperate move under pressure only
So you would put your $6 million a year career on the whims of some guy who sits on the bench and eats Skittles during the game? That's not even counting the whole football program worth multi-millions of dollars.
Just hate that we wasted really good talent this year and some that we quite honestly won’t see back next year some because they were seniors but some bc of transfer etc
If your oline sucks
Even if you had the best coordinator in the world will not be able to win
just run screens & draws
Why wasn't the offensive line coach axed? Call whatever play you want but if the line cant block then its useless.
It's not reasonable to expect any successful offensive line coach we would want to hire to leave his current team during the season. Kennedy may be gone at the end of the season, though--or he may not. We'll see.
@perniciouspete4986 Sam could take over the o-line. We're not trying to hire new coaches at all right now. That's why we're not replacing Enos right now.
You know.. for as bad of a hire as he made on offense he made one hell of a hire on defense! He hasn't been a head coach long and it's definitely showing this year.. but if he can find a good o.c. things could be great as long as defense continues to play like this!
Sam Pittman is a ghost man. Probably too good for a place like Arkansas where fans are win at any cost. They prefer someone of low integrity like Petrino or a win at all cost like Musselman.
Lack of motivation and spirit starts at the top and flows down. Football, being a team sport, involves other players. Give them a chance. Heck, is the SEC to tough? Lackluster performance for far too long. We should be having winning seasons every year. I still have pTSD from Oral Roberts!
Fire Cody Ken as well!!!!?
Should've paid Briles Pittman!!! Imagine how good the Hogs would be with the D they have + Briles offense smh! Should've could've would've!
Dan Enos was not liked and respected by "the kids". False statement. They quit on him which means they lost respect for him. Hard times, Daddy.
Sam is a position coach, not a head coach.
Sam looks perplexed by what is going on!
Basketball is starting, I'm so done with this same stuff with the football team year in year out! Maybe pay someone that knows how to coach instead of paying them not to coach! I called that play Chuck!
Stay the course. Don't bolt until it is PROVEN that he can't turn the ship around.
But Arkansas has to go out and pay for top flight Assistants, with proven recruiting credentials, and try to take fewer leftovers from other teams.
Those who didn't original come to Arkansas, is suspect as to their commitment, instead of getting through college, which is admirable, but the Football is also a contact when you transfer.
We signed Sam to an extension last year. Have some patience people.
Been patient long enough. Year after year. Decade after decade………..after decade.
KJ needs to roll on out too!!! He's running in slow motion!!!
If Sam stays, go get Scott Frost.
A 50% winning record after 4 years ain't good enough for ANY University to keep their coach!!
1st year was Covid, and this year he missed with a bad Offensive hire.
Coach P has had a burner year with Covid, and a bad OC hire one year.
Aside from that he is a winning coach.
He has made amazing adjustments with the D hires, Coach P can do it with the O too.
@@Steven-mk4gg A lot of different pieces in putting together a good football team. OL & DL, RB's & good receivers, DB's and a good QB. Plus Kickers & Special teams. A poor element in any team with be exploited by the opponent or prohibit winning. Pittman took eight games to make any adjustment on a horrible offense across the board. That type of response to team flaws is just not ever going to cut it.
