Call it what you want; but it’s the same exact type of hire that LSU made 3 years ago. I disagree. O had been a HC in the SEC. Pittman has not. Yes, O failed. But he apparently learned from the experience. He is clearly not the same coach he was over ten years ago. He is seasoned, he has evolved. O has been an interim HC at two different high profile schools and was successful at both. He walked into tough situations and managed them well. Pittman has done nothing like that, not even once. It is incorrect to say this is just like LSU hiring O. This is actually just like Ole Miss hiring O over ten years ago. Now, none of this means Pittman will fail. He may do well at Arkansas. But it is a big gamble.

One other thing is LSU was loaded on 4* and 5* players. Also LSU is by far the better football school than Arkansas.
