FAYETTEVILLE — Perhaps the biggest storyline surrounding the 2024 Arkansas football season has been Sam Pittman’s job status.
By beating Louisiana Tech last week, the Razorbacks improved to 6-5 and clinched bowl eligibility for the fourth time in five years. Based on what Best of Arkansas Sports has heard, that is enough for Pittman to keep his job and return in 2025 — he won’t retire and is not expected to be fired.
The fifth-year coach was asked about his job security following the game and, while admitting it was a “legit question,” essentially brushed it off and expressed his desire for that kind of talk to stop.
