The Arkansas Razorbacks have fired head coach Sam Pittman. Could this mean anything for the Georgia Bulldogs moving forward?

The SEC's coaching carousel began its first rotation this season, as the Arkansas Razorbacks recently announced that they have parted ways with head coach Sam Pittman after five seasons. Pittman finishes his head coaching career with the Razorbacks with an overall record of 32-34.

The news of Pittman's firing has sparked reactions within numerous fanbases across the country, particularly in the SEC. One of those programs, most notably, is the Georgia Bulldogs, where Pittman served as the team's offensive line coach from 2016-2018.

Pittman was beloved by a large sector of Bulldog fans for his bashful energy and recruiting abilities, and his name was continuously mentioned by many as a potential candidate for the offensive line position, should it become available.

Now with Pittman a "free agent" in coaching terms, the call for the former offensive line coach to make his return to Athens has become louder than ever. Despite this, the Bulldogs appear to be in an excellent position with current offensive line coach Stacy Searles, who has been fantastic in recruiting along the Bulldogs' offensive line.

The Bulldogs' recent loss to the Alabama Crimson Tide has sparked a call for change within the Georgia program, and Sam Pittman's firing has only further pushed those debates. However, even though a beloved former position coach has become available, Sam Pittman's firing from Arkansas will likely not have an immediate impact on Kirby Smart and his staff.
