Arkansas’s coaching search officially kicked into gear after the Razorbacks pulled the plug on Sam Pittman’s tenure following a disappointing 2-3 start to the 2025 season. Pittman leaves Fayetteville with a 32-34 overall record and an abysmal 14-29 mark in SEC play, proving that while he showed coaches could win at Arkansas with that impressive 9-4 campaign in 2021, consistency remained elusive.
Athletic director Hunter Yurachek took the problem head-on and handed the reins to Bobby Petrino as an interim head coach. He also immediately started what he said was a “nationwide search” for the program’s next head coach. The timing cannot be worse. Arkansas is stuck in the middle of an SEC slate that has a myriad of ranked opponents yet to take the field against them.
