FAYETTEVILLE — When Sam Pittman set out to fill the open assistant coach positions on his coaching staff, he said he searched for good men who would represent the state and the Razorback program the right way.
A strong recruiter was also a high priority for Arkansas’ second-year head coach. On Thursday the Razorbacks introduced their four new position coaches — Kenny Guiton (receivers), Cody Kennedy (tight ends), Jermial Ashley (defensive line) and Michael Scherer (linebackers) — and the group will infuse youth into Arkansas’ staff.
The average age of Pittman’s additions is 31 years old, and each new assistant is at least three years younger than his predecessor.
