Five days ahead of Florida’s game against Arkansas, Arkansas revealed Monday that head coach Sam Pittman has tested positive for COVID-19.
Pittman was tested on Sunday as part of the program’s normal regimen of testing following a home victory over Tennessee last Saturday, and re-tested Monday morning, with the results of that test still pending.
Per Arkansas, Pittman is currently asymptomatic and isolating at home, and all individuals considered “close contacts” “will enter quarantine guidelines.” While Pittman will participate in team activities virtually where possible, defensive coordinator Barry Odom will serve as Arkansas’s interim head coach.
