2 min read

No matter how you plan those future years, dot the I’s and cross the T’s, life still can throw a challenge your way, and you are back to the drawing board. Head coaches in college football have now accepted this reality, at least in terms of dealing with the players and navigating the ever-changing world of college football. But what happens when everything is going smoothly for you, and suddenly your body is not in sync with the goals that you have in mind? It can sometimes force very drastic decisions, and a similar situation has led a head coach to do the same.

As per the latest report by On3’s Pete Nakos, the Arkansas Razorbacks head coach, Sam Pittman, might retire in the near future after undergoing hip surgery. “There was speculation last season that Arkansas’ Sam Pittman could retire. He underwent hip surgery this offseason and is now walking 2 miles daily.” Nakos quoted the head coach, saying, “I have three years, and I always said that I wanted to coach through that obligation. After that, I don’t know.”
