Hogs football coach to go with gut, wishes he could be more open in regard to players
This is the seventh and final article in a series of stories about Arkansas football and head coach Sam Pittman, who recently sat for a lengthy interview with veteran columnist Bob Stephens, who covered the Razorbacks for 23 years.
That's not to say he and the coaching staff will ignore analytics. They just won't let it dominate their decisions. It's needed, as the O-line surrendered a startling 47 sacks last year while not exactly being road-graders. The running game managed just 3.5 yards per carry. "You can't always say what you'd like to say," Pittman said. "In other words, there's no rebuttal. Someone can say whatever they want about how they left the program or what happened over here and really there's not a voice to go, 'Nah, that didn't happen.' You can't talk about religion; I think that's not good. There's a difference in beating it down somebody's throat and being able to share your experiences.
"Well, we haven't gone out there and proven it yet, but I would've said the offensive line will be a real strength," Pittman said. "I'll say our secondary's been together for quite a while and we've added a piece or two to that, so I feel they're a strong suit for us."
