FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas coach Sam Pittman and LSU's Brian Kelly were born one month apart in 1961 in vastly different areas of the country, but they’re in an exclusive community of SEC head coaches now and apparently in mutual admiration of each other.
The head coaches will try to deal the other a blow in the rugged SEC West on Saturday at 11 a.m.
Pittman, born on Nov. 28, 1961, in Oklahoma is a formerly career assistant who has re-established some respectability to a recently forlorn Razorback program in his third season as a major college head coach.
