Picture of the Olineman they have coached that were drafted. IMPRESSIVE. This is why Arkansas will make a run in the SEC in a couple years. Our Doug Free is in 3rd row on far right.

FWIW, Gabe Carimi is in there too.

Very close with some of the guys that played for Pittman and they all love him and have stayed in contact...he's that kind of guy.

Saban and Bielema got into a bidding war over him when Bielema took the Ark job. Was a serious contender for our job back during the Kill hire and I'd say he'd make a great option if Carey moved on.

Interesting though, he's probably making more scratch as the OL coach than he would as our HC...such is the landscape.

We gave him a huge raise before he ever coached a game. Bama came after him so we doubled his salary. I think he's making $500,000 now.

Stay away!

Haha Pittman is a wizard. He's probably the best recruiter we've had in decades. We've gotten OL from Hawaii, Florida, Minnesota and Colorado under him in just two years so far.
