It has been a little over one month since Dan Enos was fired as Arkansas offensive coordinator.
With Hunter Yurachek confirming that Sam Pittman’s job is safe for at least one more season, he is, once again, tasked with making the most crucial hiring decision of his head coaching career. It’s a familiar position for Pittman to be in after the Hogs needed to fill both coordinator positions last offseason.
Following the dismissal of Enos, Kenny Guiton was promoted to interim offensive coordinator after serving as wide receivers coach the past two seasons. There was a lot of momentum to remove the interim tag and give Guiton the job after Arkansas went into Gainesville and beat Florida for the first time in program history.
However, that momentum has largely evaporated after the Razorback offense put up just 10 and 14 points, respectively, in their final two games against SEC competition. [autotag]Sam Pittman[/autotag] has to make a splash with this hire to rejuvenate the fanbase and get some momentum for the program. Promoting Guiton wouldn’t accomplish that.
With Guiton likely being out of the running, here’s a list of names that fans should keep an eye on going forward. It’s very possible one of these guys could be Arkansas’ next offensive coordinator.
