Paul Finebaum Reveals His Vote For SEC Coach Of The Year
Paul Finebaum on his daily SEC Network radio show simulcast.
This year might not have been a total sea change for SEC football, with Alabama heading to the conference championship and likely heading to the College Football Playoff. Still, it was a very good year for some teams that entered with very muted expectations.
Arkansas had bottomed out about as badly as one program could under Chad Morris. The team posted back-to-back 2-10 seasons with 0-8 conference records. The hire of Sam Pittman was not the most popular of the offseason, but he clearly lit a fire under the Razorbacks program, going 3-7 with an All-SEC schedule with wins over Mississippi State, Ole Miss, and Tennessee. In a normal year with four non-conference games, Arkansas might’ve been a bowl team, or close.
