Sam Pittman hadn’t had many chances to speak positively about his team in the 2023 season.
For Arkansas fans, it must have been good to see him feeling good after Saturday night’s win over Florida International.
Pittman was mostly asked about his individual players after the game. Guys like Isaiah Sategna, Andrew Armstong and Isaiah Augustave all played well and drew praise from their head coach.
But Pittman was also asked about a conversation he supposedly had with ESPN analyst Rod Gilmore. Gilmore had said during the broadcast that Pittman told him he would not be fired this year. Afterward, Pittman said he didn’t say exactly those words in his interview.
The coach then bemoaned the state of journalism before continuing on about his team. It was an unusual moment in an otherwise ordinary presser.
Check out what Pittman had to say below.
