Paul Finebaum is no Arkansas football apologist.
The well-known SEC sports radio host has been plenty critical of the Razorbacks in the past, and he will no doubt continue to be so in the future.
But the former investigative reporter also usually tries to base his wide-ranging opinions on the facts as best as he sees them, even when that puts him crosswise with his own guests.
That’s exactly what happened in a recent interview on “The Paul Finebaum Show” when he made a point of defending Arkansas football coach Sam Pittman.
Finebaum’s guest, Bill Bender of the Sporting News, had spearheaded a ranking of all 130 head coaches in the Division I Football Bowl Subdivision.
