When Kirby Smart took over the University of Georgia head coaching job offensive line coach Sam Pittman was one of his first hires. And with good reason. “The Pitt Boss” is widely acclaimed as one of the best technical coaches in the country. He also possesses a quirky, enthusiastic personality that recruits love, and which belies exactly how tenacious Pittman is on the recruiting trail.
This winter Georgia rewarded Pittman by making him the highest paid offensive line coach in the nation at $825,000 per year.
And a straw poll of UGA fans would probably reveal that most of them think he’s worth every penny and more.
