FAYETTEVILLE — University of Arkansas Coach Sam Pittman appears on the brink of completing his first staff with a couple of more assistants, both with roots in the Deep South, coming on board on Saturday.
University of Georgia special teams coordinator Scott Fountain and Georgia State running backs coach Jimmy Smith are both expected to take the same positions with the Razorbacks, according to sources.
Smith has changed his Twitter account to say he is now in the same position at Arkansas. He posted a picture on his account from the north side of Reynolds Razorback Stadium with the caption “blessed” in all caps early Saturday afternoon.
