Admittedly, Charlie Cooper is biased. Sam Pittman’s high school coach thinks the world of the new Arkansas football coach and will shout it to the Boston Mountains.
In fact, when a reporter reached Cooper on Wednesday, the former Rogers High School football coach was driving from his retirement home in Tahlequah, Okla., to do a Fayetteville TV interview to tell his favorite Pittman stories.
Cooper is pleased Pittman has returned to coach the Razorbacks and expects good things.
Cooper is a legend in Oklahoma high school circles. At 76, he’s been retired from coaching for eight years.
