    This is why I laugh when people complain about college players being paid. University athletic departments obviously have stupid money to pay terrible coaches outrages buyouts. Now they overpay unproven high school graduates too!

    He was able to steal millions of dollars from Miami, Cincinnati, Maryland and Arkansas the last few years strictly off his 1-year stint with Saban at Alabama

    I wonder if Pittman believes making this guy his sacrificial lamb will get him another year? I doubt it.

    In case nobody has heard he was surprisingly caught unprepared for failing to even call a timeout when it was 4th and inches.

    Sam Pittman makes stunning admission as Arkansas football coach embraces hot seat | Toppmeyer

    What makes it even stranger is that Piuttman's detractors could be rooting for a bad season so his buyout would literally be lower? LOL! :)

    This season is already a turd, so losing enough for the buyout to be cheaper wouldn't be the worst thing to happen to them. I wonder if they've forgiven Bobby Petrino enough to hire him again.

    They have to pay the now-fired OC for the next 2 seasons, full pay, with $750K raises.

    If Pittman's W-L doesn't fall below .500 he gets a bigger buyout.

    It smells like desperation by Pittman to get him to next season somehow and hope for a miracle.

    Right now they are 2-6

    Remaining games and possible wins:

    • At Florida
    • Auburn
    • Florida International
    • Missouri

    No idea if he gets fired or not......we'll have to wait and see, as always.......:ninja:

    I wonder how much UF would have paid Grantham if Mullen had the balls to do it a season earlier

    Your personality disorder was what got you the job in the first place. Why fix it?

    Might have saved Mullen and not having to pay his buyout.

    Perhaps Arkansas’ problems might help us to beat them.
