There were a handful of head coaches who entered the 2025 season on a blazing hot seat, and few in that group could match the heat felt by Arkansas’s Sam Pittman.
After a 56–13 loss to Notre Dame on Saturday, the end finally came for the definition of an old-school offensive line coach, ending a bumpy tenure with a 32–34 overall record. Pittman gave the program his all while providing some much needed stability in Fayetteville, Ark., but ultimately could never reach the height he hit when going 9–4 and finishing in the top 20 during his second season.
