Over the past few weeks, rumors and speculation regarding the future of the Arkansas football program have been dominating the conversation.
Following the firing of Texas A&M’s Jimbo Fisher and Mississippi State’s Zach Arnett last Sunday, many expected Arkansas to follow suit. To the surprise of many, they didn’t and [autotag]Sam Pittman[/autotag]’s job seemed safe throughout the week.
During his press conferences in the week leading up to Saturday night’s 44-20 win over FIU, Pittman sounded like a coach relatively confident in their job security. Shortly before kickoff, ESPN’s Rod Gilmore reported that Pittman told them that he wasn’t getting fired this year – despite Pittman refuting Gilmore’s claim in his postgame press conference.
Fast forward to Sunday morning and numerous reports were circulating that [autotag]Hunter Yurachek[/autotag] had let players and staff know that Pittman was returning as Arkansas’ head coach for the 2024 season. That afternoon, Yurachek confirmed those reports with a statement of his own.

Here’s some what they’re saying about Pittman remaining at Arkansas for another season.
