Tomorrow marks the start of SEC Media Days. It's head coach Sam Pittman's fourth time traveling to the event (his first year was canceled due to COVID-19). He's traditionally done very well, but the questions this year may come with an extra kick due to the temperature of his seat.
While there's not much he could say to turn around the attitude of the fan base, he can say the wrong thing and turn more against him. Luckily for the fifth-year head coach, his accompaniment could sway some minds.
This season, all Arkansas's student-athlete representatives are transfers or former transfers. Landon Jackson — who has become a force on the defensive line — will speak along with teammates Andrew Armstrong and Taylen Green.
Arkansas is scheduled to talk to the media on July 18 at 10:35 A.M. Pittman will go first, followed by Armstrong, Green, and Jackson. Here is the full schedule of when each SEC team will speak to the media:
