So now we read that someone named Sam Pittman has emerged as a candidate. Although I find the Butch Davis thing intriguing. Who is Sam Pittman? Don;t know, but apparently he is the offensive line coach at UGA, a good recruiter and the highest paid O-Line coach around. Well UGA certainly has built a massive O-Line the past few years and have had a good run game and good pass protection. But isn't someone named Sam Pittman almost exactly what ARKY had with a guy named Bert? So they jettison Bert b/c they hated running north and south, winning 7ish games and going to a bowl. so they bring in some guy from SMOO who wants to run sideways offensive plays with a bunch of lumbering O-lineman made for man on man blocking and not zone schemes? So they are going to want to go back to physical football after hating physical football and have been recruiting for flag football? they should have just kept Bert and understood their lot in SEC West football.
Hell, Burp is sitting on his couch with potato chips on his chin as we speak. They could just rehire the guy.

Well, this is Burp Ball without the atrocious recruiting though.

@BruceFeldmanCFB: Intriguing name I’m hearing getting in the mix for #Arkansas: Butch Davis. Went to college there; is tight with the influential Tyson family and has done a very nice job at #FIU.

Butch “If you ain’t cheatin’, you ain’t tryin’ “ Davis.

Leaving Miami was probably not the best career move for him. Or was he quietly shown the door? I only remember him bolting for Cleveland.

You know this could set up for an interesting angle. Are the two sides not currently in a dispute over the amount of money owed to Bert from his contract with ARKY? And ARKY is refusing to pay him on the grounds that Bert is not actively seeking a job that his resume and experiences say he is qualified for? then Bert should submit his application for the head coaching position of the ARKY football team and when his application is not forwarded to the hiring committee, his legal counsel can prove that he is in fact seeking employment that would match his prior experiences.

@brandonsudge: Sam Pittman, as #UGA’s associate head coach, plays the biggest role of any assistant on staff. If he is to leave for Arkansas as reports indicate, this would be the biggest staff loss of Kirby Smart’s tenure. Pittman also has pledges from five OL for 2020 (one 5-star).

Agreed. Embarrassing as hell. They had to go completely to the bottom of the barrel. The fans must be melting down.
