Arkansas coach Sam Pittman on those who want to see him fired

After the game, Arkansas coach Sam Pittman gave a press conference to the media. During this, he answered a question about the rising number of fans who want him fired. He replied with the following:

"A, I understand, I get it. If I were a fan, I’d be mad at me, too.“I’d be frustrated as hell with me. But, here’s what I’ll say, ‘As long as I’m the head coach at Arkansas, I’m gonna fight my butt off.’"

The Razorbacks program has not had the best few weeks, losing to both Ole Miss and non-conference Memphis before today's heavy loss to Notre Dame. This string of poor results will not help Pittman in his quest to remain the Arkansas coach.

Things to not get easier for him in the coming weeks. The Razorbacks face Tennessee and Texas A&M, two highly ranked teams.

These are games that Arkansas are unlikely to win, but will need to put in a solid and competitive performance to show to the college football world that they can play at the standards required for a SEC program and for Sam Pittman to keep his job.
