I hope for his sake he doesn't go to Arkansas. In my opinion the job would be beyond belief difficult to the point of being an almost endless pain in the neck.
Besides that it would be a very hard job if I forgot to mention that.
CSP already makes a ton of money by most standards. Plus he lives in a great place and seems to love everything about his job.
Going to Arkansas sounds like a huge risk for just about anyone. How could anyone go there and beginning winning games and satisfying anyone quickly? Answer: Nobody could.
Go, Dawgs!
Almost as good as Sofla’s
I would be shocked if Sam Pittman wants that job, but crazier things have happened.
Just a heads up there’s lots of chatter around Arkansas that they may try a full court press to get CSP as their next HC
Where ?
Apparently some people in the know that have been talking with or are friends with the money up there have come out and said he’s a top priority at this time
No coach gets into coaching to be an assistant his whole career.
Some never become HC, but it's not because they didn't want to.
Tons of different factors as to why a worthy candidate passes up an opportunity to be a HC.
I guarantee you that if the right opportunity came up Pittman would jump at it.
If they would pay him $3-5 MM a year and give him a $3-5 MM a year assistant budget, I guarantee you he's gone.
I just don't see it. It's a 4 year minimum rebuilding job. Pittman is not a young guy. Never been a head coach (to my memory), so why go for it now? I'm not even sure he's been a coordinator...certainly not in the last 5-7 years. I'm sure there's chatter to make it happen, but I can't see an OL coach getting a first time big boy SEC job in that meat grinder that is the SEC West.
So its message board talk ?
1)Did a little snooping on the internet. Appears that this, at this point, is ex-players and alumni "advocating" for them to hire ABC. Nothing more than that.
2) They only gave Norris 22 games to "turn around" an absolute train wreck into a competitive program. Granted, they didn't really improve much if any but still...22 games?
Point is: I don't think this is what one might call an "attractive opportunity" or destination. I don't see ABC being interested in this simply because, if he were interested in a HC job, he could do a LOT better.
BTW @Kasey in my "research" I saw that he actually has been a head coach. At some small school (don't remember and not going to look it up) in the 90s
@CZCashvilleDawg im pretty positive it is but it is from a fella with a perfect track record so far on the last few firings and hirings. From AD to all sports coaches. With specific details about each situation. They believe his recruiting would be the key to their rebuild. So just figured I would pass on what was brought to my attention
Interestingly, Pittman doesn't have his own wikipedia page. I think @Kasey should use his powerful contacts to remedy that.
He apparently served as HC at Princeton (Mo.) High School ('87-'88), Trenton (Mo.) High School ('89-'90), and Hutchinson (Kan.) CC ('92-'93).

Went 11-9-1 at Hutchinson.

Willie Fritz is a hell of a coach and a good guy. Southern made a huge mistake letting him walk.
Smart is just being honest. A sign of a healthy business/program is when your staff is given opportunities to interview and they have the blessing of the boss. With that being said, Schumann would be very foolish to leave Athens for the same position at Arkansas.
