Arkansas - the state also known as 'thank Jesus for Wal-Mart.' Fayetteville was so notoriously difficult to get into on football game days that it was called Fayette-Nam. Will he turn the Arkansas program around? We'll see.

I am not a member of the Pittman fan base at all...but he can hire whomever he wishes. If the hired believe they will beat the Dawgs by hiring on with the old glad-handed back slapper...we don't need them. They will be eating each others porridge come game day with the Dawgs. Bank it!

I don't think what Pittman is doing is bad or unusual. Most coaches, especially first-time head coaches, hire people that they are familiar with, and likely from the place they just left. When Kirby came to UGA, he brought a few Alabama staffers with him, most notably Mel Tucker. He tried to hire at least one more that I know of, and maybe more. Coaches looking to move up in the profession often get a chance to do it when a former fellow assistant coach at one school gets a head coaching gig at another school and is looking for people he can work with. More power to them. I don't think Kriby is worried at all. He's been on both sides of the equation. Go Dawgs!

Marshal Malchow went to Texas A&M. The same thing happened last year when Mel Tucker left. It's price you pay for having a successful program ! Go Dawgs

That's rather amusing that Pittman's grand "strategy" is to just hire people that he knows. To me, it seems very short-sighted and not exactly inspiring. I'm guessing that he doesn't have too successful of a tenure there.

I wish those guys well including Sam Pittman but change could be good for both sides and I really like Matt Luke because of his passion and I'm eager to see what Todd Monken can do with all that talent. I know Kirby wants to win by committee but sometimes it just takes a special impactful player to get you over the hump and I hope Todd Monken has an eye for that kind of player and ride him all the way!
