Embrace The Hog: Pittman Delivers New Message to Razorbacks Program
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Following a challenging 4-8 season in 2023, Razorbacks coach Sam Pittman has been vocal about the need for a shift in culture, confidence, and leadership within the Arkansas program. With a mix of returning players, transfers, and new recruits, Pittman sees this as an opportune time for a reset.
At SEC Media Days, Pittman outlined his plan to rejuvenate the Razorbacks. A key phrase from his speech was the need for his team to “embrace the Hog.”
“Which means we need to be tough, we need to be together, consistent, accountable, and do it with pride,” Pittman said. “We’ve accomplished that this summer and through spring ball. Every setback is an opportunity for a comeback. We embrace that mindset.
“I believe in our players, staff, and our state. I believe in our direction that we’re heading in and where we’re going to rise to the challenge for a great 2024 season.”
While a College Football Playoff berth in December is unlikely, achieving bowl eligibility would significantly boost confidence in the program.
