Good thing it’s Sam Pittman’s first year, ’cause this looks brutal.
Five games with a win probability under 10%? Enjoy that Charleston Southern game, Hog fans.

My buddy @BudElliott3 can make a good case that this season (if there's indeed a "this season") should be treated as a Year Zero for ALL new coaches. SP+ certainly suggests one for Pittman no matter where we set the bar for everyone else. 9 games as a multi-score underdog. pic.twitter.com/rPESrNnH87

Yeah I feel for the Pit Boss. He has a good staff but they have zero chance this season.

The odds project for one SEC win. That would be Ole Miss or Mizzou, both pegged at 30%. That’s a helluva stretch for the win predicated on coaching coming through late in the season.
Vegas oddsmakers have faith in Briles and Odom that we can’t even reason.

People forget that Arkansas under Frank Broyles was a national power. During the days of the SWC Arkansas fought Texas for the conference championship just about every year and won that conference quite a lot. As recently as a few years ago when Bobby Petrino was HC there the Razorbacks were the second best team in the SEC West behind Bama. Then Petrino got caught in that motorcycle dalliance and the Chancellor and the AD self destructed with bad decision after bad decision.

I know the odds are not in the favor of Arkansas but Coach Pittman can flat out coach. He is the real deal. He will get it done. My hot take is gonna be that they make a bowl this year.
