As for this year, they will have to prove their top 10 ranking. UGA has a tough run defense. Arkansas runs. Then what if they lose to Alabama and OM this year? Oh boy, lose to one of the "Mississippi schools" and that doesn't sit well in the Ozarks.
If Pittman were to lose both coordinators, goes 5-7 next year, and get fired. He would leave UPig leaps and bounds above where Chad Morris had the team, especially the team culture. Morris made JoMo look like Saban. JoMo was soft on the players and lost their respect but they seemed to like him. The UPig players despised Morris and had no respect at all. Senior "leaders" would yell for Morris to shutup during his team talks and ra ra speaches and nothing would happen to them. I don't think Pittman is a super X and O coach but he would have get caught doing some seriously deviant stuff for UPig fans to stop loving him.
