FAYETTEVILLE — New University of Arkansas Coach Sam Pittman has signed a five-year deal that will pay him $3 million per year with various incentive clauses and an interesting buyout structure.
Pittman, 58, signed the offer letter on Sunday, the day he agreed to become the 34th head coach at Arkansas and the fifth in 10 years.
Pittman can increase his salary based on stair-stepping win totals. His annual pay would increase by $250,000 if the Razorbacks win six games in a given year, $500,000 if they win seven games, and $750,000 if the Hogs win eight or more games.
