Pittman, staff making best of situation

FAYETTEVILLE — At Arkansas Sam Pittman came totally unprepared for one situation head coaching the Razorbacks but thoroughly familiar with another.

An unprepared welcome to the club.

No coaches in the U.S. could say they came pandemic prepared for the coronavirus. Worldwide the pandemic has canceled nearly all sports and closed campuses since mid-March.

The Razorbacks new coach had no spring football practices with his new team. Ever since it’s been all online position group meetings and prescribing off-campus conditioning.

Pittman and staff have made the best of it. They did have some February and March winter offseason conditioning time with their new team though not in conventional practices.
